Knit Stuffed Hearts

These knit hearts are a fun project that whip up in a short time. An ideal gift idea.

They are quite easy.
You can use whatever weight of yarn and size of needles you want to use.
For chunky yarn I used size 10 needles because I wanted a dense fabric. I used circular needles but it's just as easy to use straight needles. The orange one is lightweight yarn and size 6 needles and you can see the stuffing peeking through because it was not so dense.

First we make the first "hump"
Cast on 3 stitches,
knit the 3 stitches,
KFB, P1, KFB
Knit 5 st
KFB, P3, KFB
Knit 7, cut yarn

Now to make second hump,
Repeat steps for first hump by casting on 3 sts.
I push the first hump to the left side, wrong side facing me just until I have cast on for the second hump, to keep it oriented correctly.
Now repeat:

knit the 3 stitches,
KFB, P1, KFB
Knit 5 st
KFB, P3, KFB
Knit 7

Now purl across all 14 stitches.
Knit 14
Purl 14

K1, ssk, K8, K2tog, K1
Purl 12
K1, ssk, K6, K2tog, K1
Purl across

continue decreasing on knit side row, until 4 stitches,

ssk and K2tog, turn, slip 1, k1, psso

1 heart complete.

Make a second heart.

Place rights sides (knit sides) together and seam them together, leaving about a 2" opening to stuff with stuffing, turn right side out, stuff, and sew hole closed.
