If you're looking for a special project for Valentine's Day (or any other day when you're in the mood for romance), this list of Valentine-inspired projects should give you some ideas.

Knit Heart

This cute knit heart is very easy and quick to knit in an evening. Add it to a purchased gift as decoration for the package, or just give it to someone to show you care, any time of year.

Valentine Bag

Need a place to collect and store your (or your child's) valentine cards? This little bag is super quick to knit, uses an easy decorative stitch to sew it together and can be used to carry cards or hold any little bits of paperwork you'd like to keep track of in an attractive way.

Lace Headband

While not strictly a Valentine's Day pattern, this lacy headband is knit in pink and red, so it's perfect for that day devoted to romance, or really for any day you feel a little flirty. It would also be a great wardrobe staple in other colors, or knit all in one color.

OXO Scarf

A scarf perfectly sized for a young girl using the OXO cable, an easy cable to learn and remember, which makes this project nice and easy. To make for a bigger person, just buy more yarn and keep knitting to the length of your choice.

Valentine Wristwarmers

It's usually pretty cold in mid-February where I come from, so adding a little holiday cheer that also keeps you warm is always a good idea. These little warmers are extra warm because of the stranded knitting technique that makes the designs possible.

OXO Cable

Show someone you love them any time of year by knitting an OXO cable into their sweater or scarf. This cable is a lot less complex than it looks and is a lot of fun to knit. You'll love watching it develop before your eyes.

Red Woven Scarf

This cute scarf is knit in a 4X4 woven stitch, making a simple sort of basketweave on the fabric. It's very warm and quite easy to knit, making it a great last-minute project for your sweetie.
