Valentine's Day knick knacks

To give you all enough time to make your own (if you so choose), I'll post instruction now:

You'll need three colors of yarn (pink, red, white).
1 18mm jingle bell
  1. Cast on 3 stitches (pink yarn)
  2. Knit (K) row
  3. Pearl (P) row
  4. K1, Increase (Inc) 1, K1, Incr1, K1
  5. P row
  6. *K1, Incr1, K1, Incr1*, K1, **Incr1, K1, Incr1, K1**
  7. P row
  8. *to*, K5, **to**
  9. P row
  10. *to*, K10, **to**
  11. P row
  12. Stockinette stitch (K row, P row) for 6 rows
  13. K 2 together 1, K 6, switch to new yarn (still pink), K 6, K 2 together
  14. P 2 together, P 5, switch yarn, P 5, P 2 together
  15. ***K 2 together, cast off next 2 stitches, K2 together, cast off***, switch yarn, repeat ***to***

Pull loose yarn end from top of heart through bell loop and attach loose end.

Knit two hearts, line them up (wrong side facing out), and sew edges. Flip heart right side out and use needle and yarn (red and white) to embroider details.

I used the XOX theme, but you can also use an arrow (<--<<) theme.
