Granny Square a Week-Week Seven

Valentine's Day is upon us so of course we have to make a heart motif granny square! There are no shortage of heart granny squares, but I chose this one for the simplicity and the texture since you work in the back loops for one round, which gives it a bit of interest.

This week also marks the start of my branching out beyond the 5 inch square. I have some gorgeous patterns and I want to include in this project but they are larger than the size I started out with and it would be impossible to finagle the pattern to be smaller. I figured we will make a few for the center of the afghan. This is the first one that is a larger square that I will be making.

Center Heart Square by Heart Made Blessings

A little sweetness for Valentine's Day <3

Alternate colors are done with Vanna's Choice yarn in Cranberry and Pink Poodle

 
As you can tell, these squares want to roll or shrink up into themselves, mostly because of the heart that was worked in the middle. These will definitely need a bit of blocking when done!

Happy Valentine's Day! Until Next Week!
