❤Valentine's Day Heart Pillows❤ Pattern
Here is what you need to make a yarn heart pillow on a knitting machine
• Knitting Machine ( 48 needles is my knitting machine if you have 46 needles that works as well )
• Yarn ( 4 weight medium works best )
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Measuring Tape
Sentro Knitting Machine has 48 needles
Addi Knitting Machine has 46 needles
Each yarn weight and yarn brand will make your row count a little bit different to get around 80 to 82 rows makes big yarn heart pillow. 40 to 42 rows makes mini/small yarn heart pillow.
First I cast on going forward and backwards on the needles ( it should look like one needle on the hook with yarn and next is skipped because the yarn goes behind the hook )
After you cast on all needles slowly crank your first few rows to make sure it stays secure and no dropped stitches. Next you will crank your rows until you reach around 80 to 82 rows and you will be ready to cast off. To cast off you will crank a row without yarn to be able to cast off easier ( I prefer doing it this way ) Cut off a tail ( Circumference of circle ) thread your yarn needle and go in between the two groves with your yarn needle ( do this for all the needles ) Fill with polyfil. Finally grab your heart and pull it to form your top part of the heart. This next part of sewing you will go through the holes after each time ( sew with yarn needle alternating over and under to create the heart shape. Do this a few times. At top of heart skip a few stitches which will help with the heart shape. Tie off to secure it ) Make sure everything is even so no lumps and nice even heart pillow. Your finished! 🙂❤💕❤
