The pattern creates an 8 x 8 inch square with a heart in it which is used for the KasCare Knit-a-Square project. Information is below.

Leave a 50 cm/20 in tail (for sewing the squares together). Butterfly the tail to the square.

The knit-a-square project was started as a family project in 2008 and is now a world-wide community numbering an estimated 12,000 people in 54 countries round the world.

Together we work hard to help warm and comfort the children and we’d greatly value your contribution to this knitting project for the AIDS orphans of southern Africa. We ask the world’s knitters and crocheters to send 8”/20 cm squares to South Africa, where we have them sewn into blankets for the children.
