I made this 6 x 9 inch rectangle for a charity. You can download the PDF in case you want to save the pattern to your computer.
Cast on 23 stitches
Size: 10.5 needle
Yarn: Red Heart
Gauge: 3.83 stitches per inch
5 rows per inch
There is a 4 stitch garter-stitch border. It helps to stop the curling. The border is in parenthesis if you would like to change it.
The reason I wrote this pattern in 5 sections is to make it versatile. I want you to be able to adapt it to your project. This is the order of stitches, everything will be written out below:
- 10 rows of stockinette stitch
- Heart Pattern: do rows 1-12
- 2 rows of stockinette stitch
- Heart Pattern: do rows 1-12 again
- 10 rows of stockinette stitch
