Mina Loves knitting and this hat has been designed to capture this using a Celtic heart motif on a simple reverse stocking stitch pattern.

If you’ve never attempted cables before and are an adventurous learner then this could the opportunity to have a go. The Celtic heart uses a couple of different cable stitches over a small number of stitches, so go ahead and knit yourself some love!
