After all the hype around my paid pattern, The Cupcake Doll, I wanted to let the community know I will still offer free patterns, too. Also, with Valentine’s around the corner and wanting something festive to wear for the holiday, I whipped up a fun little Valentine’s Earwarmer pattern using a fun little stitch called the Heart Stitch. This pattern is quick to work up, too!
