Here is a selfish make for Valentine’s!! The weather is still cold out here and showing oneself some love every once in a while is a great way to happiness I feel (that is, making use of some yarn from yarn stash to justify buying more yarn).
This pattern has been in my head from a very long time. Not only did I write this pattern way back in December, I also made a video tutorial for this cutie at the same time. But mamma couldn’t find time for editing and testing the pattern for multiple size. Finally I am getting my life together at the moment and this one is one of the first patterns being published this year.
I hope you enjoy this quick make for yourself or your loved one. It practically takes less than 150g of yarn and is a great stash buster. They are so adorable !! So why not make them in all sorts of colours for all the lovely people who have been pillars of love and support in our lives.
