Valentine's card is a symbolic gift for the most romantic holiday for lovers. A miniature heart-shaped souvenir can be crocheted and presented to your loved one. It will take no more than 20 minutes for a fairly experienced knitter.
Necessary materials for knitting
In order to knit a pretty valentine yourself, you need to prepare the necessary materials. You will need: red or pink yarn, a hook (size 1, 5 mm), padding polyester for stuffing, linen threads, as well as some beautiful piece of paper, beads and beads for subsequent decoration.
The process of making a valentine
To knit a valentine should be single crochet. So, start with the ring. Wrap your index finger and knit six single crochets into the ring. You will have the first row. The second row should have twelve single crochets. Next, from the second to the fifth row, add 6 single crochets. Then you should knit without increments. From the sixth to the ninth row, 30 columns must be made. As a result, you will have a connected hemisphere. To create a heart, you will need to knit another such element. The second hemisphere is knitted in a similar pattern.
If the two parts of the ball are already connected, go to the next step. Work five single crochets and staple the hemispheres over the edge. Now start knitting a large circle. First, do one row in a circle with no increases or decreases. Then create nine rows, decreasing 4 single crochets in each row. By the way, the loops should be reduced by two in the central part on each side. As a result, you should start to form a heart shape. If the heart does not work out, then you have made a mistake somewhere. If there is no need for bandaging, leave a small hole in the resulting heart and fill it with padding polyester.
In the next knitting step, continue to decrease 4 stitches in each row until the hole is completely closed. On this, the process of creating a valentine with your own hands can be considered almost complete. If you want to give the heart a gift look, cut the paper and thread the linen thread through it. This thread should be pulled through the top of the heart. Cut the thread carefully and make a double knot and then a double bow. As a result, you will have a pretty valentine that you can hang somewhere.
You can make a truly romantic gift from two hearts tied together. If desired, they can be decorated with beads, beads or some original inscription. Dab a few drops of scented oil on the valentine's day for an unforgettable gift.
