Gauge not important.

Equipment:

Place markers (help but aren’t necessary) – use to divide the sections

US 7 Needles that are 10 inches Long (length isn’t a necessity, but I think shorter are easier)

Your favorite color of yarn (I used Red Hearts Pretty ‘N Pink)

Scissors

Tapestry Needle

Measurements:

Approximately 8” X 12” (depending on how you stretch it)

Length of Time to Create:

I worked on it on and off for several days, so a guess would be 8 hours.

Pattern:

CO 50 stitches

Section A (First rows and last rows)

Section B (Border before and after heart design – for each row of the heart section)

Section C (heart)

Note: on the *xxx* sections, if you don’t finish what is in the *xxx*, just finish as much as there is room    for. For example, *K1, P1* but there is only 3 stitches, then K1, P1, K1.
