Like many of you, I have so many little leftover balls of yarn. Whenever I’m taking a break from designing or life, I try to figure out ways to use up those scraps. I was doing just that while at the same time thinking of Valentine’s Day and this is what happened!
These little hearts can be used in so many ways, bunting, sachets, appliques or even little pockets to hold candy or treasures. I filled mine with lavender and hung them in my closet. That glorious scent perfumes the air as I walk into my bedroom and makes me smile.
Have fun with yours and please share your pictures or ideas with me too!

Love the Hearts pattern. Thank you. One question though if I may. How does one fill with potpourri without it all falling out please?
I usually insert it in a small piece of mesh or you can use linen or another woven fabric.
Do you have the pattern for the others in the pic,rug,jacket,bonnet,booties,would like them if you have,thanks heaps xxx
I’m not sure which picture you are referring to. Please email me at [email protected] and I will try to help you.
How long will this be online? My ‘puter, printer, AND my Word program aren’t on speaking terms so I cannot save nor print the directions. It is a lovely pattern and I hope to get to use this soon! Thank you for your generosity.
I have no plans to remove it 🙂
Is there a drawing of the pattern? (Not just written)
Thanks
I don’t plan on removing it 🙂

Hi, These are just lovely but I don’t where I can find lavender to fill these with? Any ideas for that? Thanks for the idea and hopefully a suggestion as to where to find the lavender.
My local craft store carries lavender, you can also usually find it at your local florist, and there are many online sources too.
Nice pattern, very understandable, thank you!
I wil give the heart on the 14th of februari to my colleague in the Hospice-house, we are working that evening together.

Reblogged this on Clovers 4 Ewe and commented:
These can be done in worsted weight or crochet thread and both turn out amazing. So cute. I might have to make some for my daughter’s friends for school next week. She’s not mentioned anything about V day, so maybe I’ll just make some for her to give her teachers. 🙂
Lovely pattern Maria! Thanks for letting me test for you. Have a great day. 🙂
Thank you Carolyn and thanks for testing too!
Thank you for the patern. I am living in South Africa and love all the stuff you post. Have a nice week!

Thank you so much for providing this pattern for free. I belong to an organization that provides memory boxes to bereaved parents and I think these would be a great addition, especially the little pouches.
Thank you!
