With the year that we have all had since last Valentines’ Day I thought it was time to have a Granny square inspired creation. This pattern is for a 5 inch square with four hearts.

With hearts that stand proud of the background that can be placed in different ways this square gives its maker lots of choices, a single one could be a coaster or a token of appreciation, four or nine together quickly becomes a cushion, then after that the possibilities really are as big as you want to go.

This square could be made in any thickness of yarn, just use a hook to match i.e. 4mm for double knit or 5mm for Aran weight. Abbreviations throughout are US.

This square can be made into a 14 inch cushion front making four of these squares (using double knit and a 4mm hook)
