Saturday Stitch : Heart To Heart Eyelet.


Every Saturday I will share with you a new stitch.
Today's stitch is: Heart to Heart Eyelet.




Still feeling the love after Valentines day here is the Heart to Heart  stitch which is a basic eyelet/lace  heart that can be used as a single motif as an all over pattern. Below you'll find instructions for both - the stitch and the single motif. 
Single heart motif: You need a number of stitches multiple of 11. Work rows 1 through 12.
Heart to Heart stitch: You need a number of stitches multiple of 11 + 2 edge stitches. Repeat the pattern between the * as many times as you like. Repeat rows 1 through 14.
