Felted Heart Pot Holder and Hot Pad

I got one comment and a couple emails asking what pattern I used to make these. I made them up myself as I went just to see if I could make a heart shape from the center out. I did however take notes for a change so I'll happily share.

Needles : size 10.5 DPNs and 10.5 24" circular
Yarn : lambs pride worsted, you can get 2 out of 1 skein
Gauge : who cares it's felted

Instructions : Using DPNs cast on 8 stitches and join in the round, knit into the front and back of every stitch. Place Marker(16)

Row 1 and all odd # Rows - Knit
Row 2 : (Kfb, K) rep until end of row (24)
Row 4 : (Kfb, K2) rep until end of row (32)
Row 6 : (Kfb, K3) rep until end of row (40)
Row 8 : (Kfb, K4) rep until end of row (48)
continue adding 1 stitch between increases and moving onto the circulars when needed until you have 120 stitches total.

LOBES AND POINT ARE WORKED BACK AND FORTH

Start Lobes :
Row 1 : SSK, K36, K2tog (38)

Bind Off

Reattach yarn and make second lobe in the same way with the next 40 stitches on the circular.

Start Point :
Point is worked on the last 40 stiches on the circular.

Reattach yarn.
Bind off 5 stitches at the beginning of the next 4 rows. (20)
Row 1 : SSK, K16, K2tog (18)
Row 2 and all even rows : Purl
Row 3 : SSK, K14, K2tog (16)
Row 5 : SSK twice, K8, K2tog twice (12)
Row 7 : SSK twice, K4, K2tog twice (8)
Row 9 : SSK twice, K2tog twice (4)
Row 11 : Slip 2 knitwise, K2 tog, PSSO and pull yarn through.

Weave in all ends and FELT. The straight sides will want to pucker in a smidge just tug them into place when you lay it flat to dry.

To Make Rings : Alternate colors every 2 rows and carry up the back side.
