Knitting a blanket with hearts
For those who like to do needlework, it will not be difficult to knit such a blanket. First of all, you need to choose the right threads, and it is important that they are soft, then the product will be pleasant to the touch.
- Selecting yarn
When choosing yarn, you need to remember that the density of the blanket will depend on the thickness of the thread, so those who want to have a good volume, choose a thicker thread. The quality of the yarn also affects the structure of the fabric. For example, a very warm blanket will be made from woolen thread, and with the addition of polyacrylic, the product will not stretch much. To make the product soft, you need to knit loosely.
- How to determine the amount of yarn
Before we start working, we need to calculate the amount of yarn. If we knit a small blanket (95x115 cm), we will need 600 g of yarn, for a large one (112x168 cm), we will spend 1 kg 300 g.
- Color selection
For girls it is better to choose colors such as pink, red or purple. For boys - blue, blue, green. The blanket will be beautiful if you alternate colors, making it multi-colored

The hearts are located on the fabric evenly, every 10-15 cm, their size depends on the number of loops, you can make small 10-16 loops or large 20-30 loops.
- "Heart in squares"
The blanket is made of squares, each of which has a pattern - hearts on the background of purl loops. Each square is knitted according to the same pattern and consists of 28 loops. Starting from the fourth row, from the middle loop, hearts begin to form by replacing purl loops with facial ones.

It is made on the back surface. The heart itself consists of face loops, when knitting which, inside the rapport, two air loops are added each time.

- "Heart of Dive"
The pattern is knitted on knitting needles. Such a heart consists of "eyes" that have the outline of the heart itself and are made as follows: in the front row, instead of knitting 1 knit. 1 out. we make a double yarn over, twisting the thread onto the knitting needle twice. In the back row, the yarn over is knitted with a purl loop.

Knitting a granny square blanket with hearts
This is a very old and simple knitting method that our grandmothers used. The blanket consists of many individually knitted squares that are sewn or tied together. You can knit with knitting needles or a crochet hook, as you wish.
When crocheting, the motifs start from the middle, then we make an expansion by knitting several double crochets from one loop. To achieve greater softness and airiness in the product, we make double or triple crochets, and vice versa, knitting double crochets or single crochets will give density to the blanket.
The squares are knitted with knitting needles from the bottom up. Each square is knitted separately, then they are connected to each other. You can connect them with a hook or a needle.
