Free pattern: fragile heart

 

But it can be so weak at the other time

Heart is fragile.

So handle it with care.

Or you may broke it.

- Felsdar

Hi everyone! Today’s pattern is the perfect Valentin’s day gift. If you do not know what to give, give him a knitted heart.

It’s simple, cute and very symbolic! Giving your heart to someone not only means you love him, it also means you trust him because this action make you somewhat vulnerable. Thus, give your heart to someone who will take care of it.

Heart can be so strong

When I give you my heart, I do not give you

the authority to rule it, abuse it or use it. I

give it to you because I trust you enough to

take great care of it.
