Still Time for a Small Handmade Valentine 💖


Hello, Reader! If you’re excited to knit something heartfelt before Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share one of my favorite quick projects. My Knitted Heart Softies Pattern is perfect when you want to make something small, meaningful, and fast.

These little hearts knit up easily and make sweet gifts on their own when stuffed with lavender or tucked into fun gift baskets.

You probably have everything you need already in your stash:

  • Yarn in any weight, fiber, and color of your choice
  • Knitting needles sized appropriately for your yarn
  • Poly-fil stuffing, yarn scraps, or lavender seeds (mine still smell amazing years later)

All of my Valentine's Day patterns include free written instructions, knitting charts, and step-by-step video tutorials to help you knit with confidence.

Knitter Review

“What a great little heart pattern. I love the construction. The written pattern was so clear and easy to follow, too. Thanks for sharing!”

~ Caitlin D.

If you prefer everything printable and ad-free, the patterns are available with a printed book and free e-book for U.S. knitters, or just the digital e-book available worldwide.

I hope you enjoy knitting and gifting with love!

Happy love season,

Kristen McDonnell
