Today’s Cable Heart Stitch Pattern is an interlocking design in vertical panels that can be knitted to make up so many fun projects. See how pretty they look in my new Cable Heart Knit Scarf Pattern! Additionally, multiple panels can create a blanket of any size. It’s always fun to see the cable heart design emerge as you knit. Knitting heart designs make it an extra special project filled with love.
