A free heart of gold pattern with glass beads
This pattern is a little more difficult than the basic outline/beginner patterns I normally post. I am going to post the PDF pattern below, but below the outline pattern you’ll find another PDF pattern with actual instructions on what colors I used in the pattern, along with which stitches.
