Looking for an alternative declaration of love? In this step-by-step free tutorial, Christine Leech from Sew Yeah! shows you how to weave a love heart wall-hanging that will surely make your partner’s heart flutter.

Declarations of love don't have to be saved for Valentine's Day! Why not try your hand at creating a love heart keepsake weave. It’s something that can stay up all year round on your love nest wall and can either declare your love for your other half or use your own initials to show yourself some big love.

Set the knitting loom up according to the products instructions. The warp threads are the ones on the loom running vertically and the weft is the yarn you use to weave with. I’ve set it up so it is one notch in from each side to make the weave slightly narrower. I’ve also marked the middle of the loom with a small piece of tape.

When you have decided the width of your weave, take a piece of paper and draw a rectangle the same size as the weave. Sketch out your heart and initials. Also cut out a heart the size of your sketched one.
