Knitting is where love grows.

Whether you are knitting for yourself, or knitting for someone else, knitting is the surest way to show how much you love someone.

When you knit a gift for your friend, mother, partner, kiddo, that knitted object becomes a tangible expression of your love for them. Every time they put it on, they are reminded that you invested your time, energy and feelings into every stitch. They are held, kept warm, and made secure by those stitches. Each time they bundle up, they will think of you, because you took the time to think of them, to create a physical manifestation of your love.

If you are knitting for yourself, every stitch is a little bit of self-care. Every hat or mitten is an act of mindful time for you. You took a moment for yourself, to do something you love and make your world warmer and more beautiful one stitch at a time.

The Where Love Grows hat is a celebration of love. Knit in DK weight yarn, this pattern is fast, fun, and squishy. This 4-color stranded colorwork hat pattern includes a breakdown of the yardage required for every stripe and row of hearts, making it easy personalize this hat to fit your stash. The pattern is available in Child-Adult L, so you can knit a Valentine for anyone and everyone your heart desires.
