Knitted Hearts -FREE Pattern!

A cute little project to make when being crafty, or bored in my case. I knitted this cute little plush heart that is about 3x4 inches.  It took me about a half hour to complete the whole project.

I used novelty fluff yarn from Plymouth yarn, it is called Heaven.  It is super soft!

You can make regular ones or dazzle them up with faces, either way they are super cute!

I set the pdf to smallest file possible to make it easier to download, however it beat the pictures to death.  They are all grainy, though they are probably horrible visual aids anyway.  I'm not a pro photographer, nor do I wish to be, so don't judge please. 

You can download the free pattern HERE.  YEp I said Free! Please make for fun and for yourself, I do not authorize commercial use.  If there are any errors in this pattern, I apologize.  I will fix the post asap if there is a flaw.  This is my first original pattern of the plush heart.  Click here!


Or if you would like this happy heart (featured above) you can check out the Sasquatch Willow ETSY store and buy it!

Have fun and modify it if you wish! Be Creative!

It's not food! But... its cute!

SO,

I knitted it as a birthday gift, which was much loved! 

its a cupcake with a cherry on top.

So... I don't have a recipe, or I should say pattern (as i'm suppose to call it).  I did this with cream colored yarn and  a combo of speckled pink and fluff pink yarn.  EVERYTHING WAS KNITTED USING STOCKINETTE STITCH.

I dont have a pattern to give out because I didn't make it with a pattern but you can find patterns out there on other sites, such as....

BE CREATIVE... you don't have to follow every instruction.  If you dont like the way it looks, make the next one the way you want it.  

Please do not eat the blankets

Ok this isn't food but a crafty thing. I tried to get Katie to write this post but she didn't wanna. Check out that grammar! Yeah!


Ok anyways...
Have you ever seen one of these? A fleece tie blanket?

I think it's a mid-west/Indiana thing because I had never heard of or seen one until I moved here. Basically It is just two pieces of fleece that have the ends cut into little strips and are used to tie the two pieces of fleece together. Pretty simple. 

You can google instruction on how to make these blankets or go here. We each got 1 1/2 yards and those made a really good size lap blanket or a great size for a kid. The grey one above is 2 yards and is big enough for me to curl under at night. 

Do you like doing good deeds? I like doing good deeds. I feel satisfied, unselfish. You feel all warm and fuzzy inside like a little light has been lit to a new you. Ha! Sorry cheesy moment over. 

Project Linus is an organization named after The Peanuts character Linus and his security blanket. Their mission statement says their goal is "...to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans..."

Katie and I made several of these fleece tie blanks to donate to Project Linus. 

I made these two: 

Do you see the two monsters hugging? Cute! 

Katie made this cute one with the alligators and check out this one 

on her blog. 

Katie was going to donate the owl one but she decided she loved it too much and had to keep it. Thats ok cause I kept one for myself too, (see the grey polk dot one at the top of the post)

If I had time I would knit a blanket but I have to turn these in on the 16 of November and there is no way I could have a blanket finished by then. If I start now I can get one in for next year!
