I was just navigating through Lion Brand Yarns Web Site when I came across this cute envelope idea.... it is sooo simple.
Here is the instructions as best as I can supply.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
per the instructions, the exact gauge is not important to this project
ENVELOPE SQUARE
Use white or cream colored or even pink yarn for the envelope.
Ch 26.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across for 25 sts.
Repeat each row till the piece measures about 6 1/2 in. (16.5 cm) from beginning.
Fasten off.
To make the HEART decoration...
Use red or pink or what ever color you want
Now ch 4.
Round 1: 2 dc in 2nd chain from hook, hdc in next chain, 3 sc in last chain; working along opposite side of beginning chain, hdc in next chain, (2 dc, slip st) in last chain.
Fasten off.
To FINISH...
Fold Envelope Square into an envelope shape by bringing three corners together at center. Sew corners together. Sew Heart to joined corners. Weave in ends. To look like an envelope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Perfect way to send a sweet VAlentine to that someone special.
I'll post these instructions & a pic on my blog too.

Yep, I think I will give it a try, & then stuff it w/a sweet love note & dried rose petals.
Maybe even a small flat bar of chocolate, hmmm perhaps one of MaryJane's, Chocolate Lavender or Chocolate mint bars. .yummy!

Well fiddles,,,,,YAhOO is having some issues and I can not get into Photobucket to down/upload the pic of the envelope so you'll have to go to my blog to see it.
I'll try again later tonight to post the picture here.
