Today we’re knitting up a Cable Heart Stitch Pattern! This interlocking design is a classic project for Valentine’s Day and perfect all year round.
These vertical panels can be knitted to make up so many fun projects. I think these pretty hearts would look great as a scarf. Multiple panels can create a blanket of any size, too. It’s always fun to see the cable heart design emerge as you knit. And hearts make it an extra special project filled with love.
