Small solid heart

Heart-case.Of course, we will not put anything in this case, and our heart should not open or close. But we will use the case principle for our heart souvenir. That is, it will be a hollow inside and stuffed with padding polyester voluminous heart-valentine. So, for work we will prepare cotton red or pink yarn, a number three hook and padding polyester for stuffing. To make such a valentine, knitting is done in stages. We start from the top of one of the halves, which we knit in the form of a cup. We close two air loops into a ring and tie with six single crochets. We make six increases and get a row of twelve columns. In the next row, we repeat the increase and single crochet six times (eighteen in total). We knit the fourth row with single crochets (also eighteen). The last row of the cup - increase and five single crochets are repeated three times (twenty-one loops in total). Do not close the last loop and cut the thread, leaving a tail of about fifteen centimeters. Knit the second top of the heart in the same way. So, the last loop of the cup is on the hook. Now we put the open loop of the first half on it and continue knitting in a circle with the working thread. First, knit seventeen single crochets in the first half, skip four columns and knit seventeen single crochets along the edge of the second cup (thirty-four columns in total). With the tail of the first cup, we connect both halves from the wrong side, knitting four single crochets, exactly those that we left in the previous step. We get such a convex-concave figure eight. We do not close the last loop and continue knitting with single crochet stitches in a circle:

  • seven columns, a decrease, fifteen columns, a decrease and ten more bars;
  • seven columns, a decrease, fourteen columns, a decrease and nine more bars;
  • five columns, a decrease, thirteen columns, a decrease and ten more columns;
  • four columns, a decrease, twelve columns, a decrease and ten more columns;
  • decrease, two columns, decrease, seven columns, decrease, two columns, decrease, eight columns. At this stage, twenty-two loops must remain;
  • decrease, column, decrease, six columns, decrease, column, decrease, eight columns.

Now we stuff the unfinished heart with synthetic padding.and finish the work. We repeat the decrease and single crochet six times. Then we knit twelve columns and add the filling. We continue decreasing, forming the sharp nose of the heart, close the last loop, cut and mask the thread.valentines knitted

    Other ideas of knitted valentines

    In fact, any knitter inable to come up with your own original heart. You must admit that knitting such miniature valentines is really very simple and quick. For example, if you knit well, then try knitting a double-sided heart in the Scandinavian style. Just knit two pieces of fabric with a mirror pattern according to the template, and then, putting them with the wrong sides together, carefully sew the edges. Using the same principle, you can make an original silk heart in a knitted cover. First, cut out two silk pieces according to the heart template, sew them together and stuff them with padding polyester or cotton wool. Now, using the same template, knit two pieces with any openwork knitting. Attach the knitted pieces to both sides of the silk heart and connect them using a crochet hook or thick needle. In addition, try decorating the heart with pompoms suspended on a knitted cord. The main thing in such a valentine is to choose a contrasting combination of silk and yarn. Or here's another idea. Make a heart-shaped outline from strong flexible wire. Now, using a hook, tie the outline with single crochet stitches, finishing this row with a slip stitch. Then choose any crochet lace pattern you like and continue crocheting the wire outline. By the way, if you make a large enough wire heart, you can use it as a photo frame. And for absolute beginners, we offer a version of a simple Valentine's heart, crocheted with single crochet stitches. First, make a chain of three air loops, and then start crocheting it with single crochet stitches, making decreases and increases in the right places and forming a heart of the desired size. If you complement such a very simple heart with voluminous rococo embroidery, it will look amazing and sophisticated. And if you decorate the valentine with a small key on a string, it will acquire additional meaning and will become not just a touching souvenir, but a kind of confession. In a word, fantasize! The main thing is a hook or knitting needles, yarn and the appropriate mood - you already have it. And believe me, for an original valentine, a hook and knitting needles will be quite enough.
