Heat Pad Heart – A Super Simple Knitting Pattern

Hand-knitted cherry pit heart – Natural. Warming. From the heart.
This lovingly knitted heart-shaped heat pillow is more than just a practical helper on cold days: it is a little piece of comfort. Made from 100% cotton and filled with natural cherry pits, it stores heat particularly well and gently releases it to the body.
The simple, timeless design is complemented by a decorative knit stitch on the front – a fine detail that makes each heart cushion unique. Whether as a gift, for relaxation, or simply for comfort: this heat cushion is a loving companion that gives warmth and brings a smile to your face.
Carefully handcrafted – for you or someone you want to spoil from the bottom of your heart.
