Bless Your Heart

Baby Suri Alpaca AND Beads? Aw, Bless Your Heart!
Bless Your Heart is worked in two halves from the bottom up and grafted at the center. A creative dropped stitch pattern forms hearts in the fabric!
Optional beads are placed inside these hearts, because you might need a little more bling in your life right now!
