These sweet little hearts remind me of those vintage illustrations. Between the open stitches on the tops, and the stranded colors of the Red Heart Baker’s Cotton, I just find them quite appealing. There are two sizes for you to choose from, or you can make them both! The pattern includes written instructions, step by step photos, and a video of each heart.
