Knitting - Heart Baby Cloth

Wow, it's the last day of February and the project I have to share fits in with the occasion that is celebrated in this month.  Last night I finished knitting this Heart Baby Cloth pattern from Knit Picks.


I had intended on using this as a dish cloth but, well, it turned out a little larger (8 3/4" wide x 10" tall) than I wanted but that's not a problem.  I already thought of knitting several more in other colors and making a wall hanging or some other craft project.  I mean if you don't use the suggested needle size and yarn or do a swatch, the final product will differ.  The majority of the time, I like to wing it and use yarn from my stash and because it's not a garment, I don't worry about measurements for this type of project.  And I haven't blocked it either but I should since it's not completely flat.  I just have fun with it to see my end results and I can always knit it again with the recommended supplies.

So for the supplies, I used size 7 US (4.5 mm) needles and Lily Sugar'n Cream 100% cotton yarn in the color red.  Another item I used were stitch markers which I highly recommend because it helps to track the beginning and ending rows of the heart pattern section. 

Well, that it's for now, happy knitting!
