Hi! I don’t really have a formula, but I think you would just cast on more stitches and carry the slipped stitch more rows while following the same decrease pattern to achieve the shape. It shouldn’t be too hard, I don’t think!

I love it for the edging detail and for the way the heart is shaped. I would love to knit it about 3/4 larger, as a piece to attach to the front of a baby blanket.
Is there a simple equation I can apply to the pattern to achieve this?
Many thanks! 🧶

I cast-on the 19 sts as for the toe of a sock, and knit the two at once in the round. (All RS rounds) Fingering weight hand-dyed silk on 2 mm needles. Photo on Ravelry!

Hi!
Ok, so if you’re using this for babies, my concern would be any possibility of rice escaping. Because of that, I would recommend making a cotton bag for the inside to contain the rice. You could use a thin muslin or similar. Then to increase the size of the heart shapes, you can use both bigger needles AND thicker yarn which will make the hearts bigger and contain the rice. Hope that helps!
Best, Cassie

Perfect for retrieval babies but need to make them bigger By using bigger needles doesnt make the size bigger only the weave and because of the stuffing I dont need to make the weave bigger
Ideal size would be around 5 and half inches high
I love the pattern the best one Ive seen so thank you so much
Cheers Betty

Hi!
I love the idea of handing out handwarmers for the homeless, but you are right, lack of access to a microwave would be a problem for this specific project. I did have one reader who knit the back side of the heart shape in two overlapping halves (knit slightly more than half the heart shape (bottom to middle) then cast off, then knit slightly more than the other half (middle to top) of the heart shape separately) and then she sewed the shapes together only around the edges. This left an opening where the two heart halves overlap (like a decorative pillowcase) where you could insert those disposable individual hand warmers that you get at the dollar store and other places. I thought that was a brilliant customization!
