Materials You Need for Knitting Heart Patterns
There are many ways you can incorporate hearts into your knits! There are certain materials that you will need depending on the heart knitting pattern you choose. Let’s talk about the essentials:
- Knitting needles – You will need a sturdy pair of non-slippery knitting needles. You can use straight needles for flat projects, but a pair of wooden circular knitting needles might come in handy too!
- Yarn – Make sure to check the pattern to see what yarn weight to use. You can typically find all of the details on your yarn band or in the “suggested yarn” section of your heart knitting pattern.
- Scissors – A pair of scissors is another important tool that you will use for all of your knitting projects. You’ll need them to cut the yarn when you’re done!
- Yarn/darning needle – You will need a yarn needle or darning needle to sew in the loose ends.
