Hearts motif is very (VERY!) popular in the baby-wearing world. I have seen patterns done for 8-shaft loom, which does not help me, but my friend sent me a pattern for hearts for 4 shafts. But they are small.
So, when I got a pattern with big hearts for 8 shafts, I was excited. But the floats in the original pattern are too long for a baby wrap. We are talking like 18-float pattern, and I prefer to limit the floats to 4. Why, you ask? Well, thread pulls and snags are more likely to happen with longer floats, and for a fabric that will see lots and lots of action this is not a desirable outcome.
So, back to the pattern. I tinkered with it and now it has 4 floats max. Totally safe for a baby wrap! If you like it, feel free to download the pattern in the wif format. P.S. Added a visual tie-up picture – clicking on the thumbnail will open the big picture.
