Valentine’s Day is coming up fast so I wanted to create a project you could easily whip up in a weekend. This is also such a great snuggly blanket for any time of year!

Be Still My Heart!  This blanket uses a simple heart stitch to create this simple heart pattern.  Free crochet pattern!

I really love Hometown USA from Lion Brand Yarn. They make it in so many colors and it’s affordable and easy to find in most stores (even my local Wal Mart has it!)

Another great thing about this yarn is the size. I wanted a project that would work up quickly, so you know I was looking for some super bulky yarn in colors that I wanted.

I also knew I wanted a soft yarn in case this would be used for babies, so wool was out for me. A lot of the super bulky yarns have wool in them, so I was afraid at first I wasn’t going to be able to find a suitable yarn in a store near me. I was wrong!

The hardest part at the store was choosing the colors! Pink? Gray? Red? I love teal and turquoise so I was really drawn to this color combo. I hope you love it as much as I do!

    Amanda, So sorry about your family illnesses. Like you said, “Been there, done that.” But that said, let me complement you about this awesome pattern and the unbelievable video. You did such a great job with your video that ANYONE should be able to follow it with ease. I’m so impressed with your skills and appreciate all that you’ve taught. Thank you many times over. Hoping you and the rest of the family remain in good health. With sincere gratitude,
