Open Weave Heart 1 originally had the U3 at the center of R4 as optional. When I wove the sample below I left that U3 out. I put it in on Open Weave Heart 2 and decided I liked it best that way. The center U3 of R4 is no longer optional, but it is missing from the pink sample below.

I’ve mentioned this pattern a couple of times on this blog, and even posted the chart, but it’s never had a post to itself with sample photos. I liking adding different motifs to the centers of hearts.
It would be interesting to see this one with L3 and L4 the same—maybe L1/2-4.

These patterns are essentially variations of each other; the hearts are all the same. The squares in the photos all have their ends worked in, so the edge warps and wefts of each are doubled. When I use two colors the warping scheme is L1-3/4 unless otherwise designated.

“Today is the day,” I decided, “to start posting patterns.” With over 100 photographed squares to choose from, it should have been a breeze. Well, a breeze certainly confronted me—a good, stiff one, more of a gale (as in gale force winds).
The wind is BLOWING here today and the first square I picked up from one of the To BE Posted baskets had no photo to go with it. Went outside to snap the photo. What should have taken seconds took minutes because of the wind. The photos took seconds, but waiting for breaks in the breeze (during which I was getting significantly wind-chilled) took minutes. Sheesh!

Yesterday I was Going Through my Square Stash (tunneling toward Neatness) and ran across a square that was *just*the*thing*. Some squares turn out that way—the right yarn thickness, the right pattern and colors, and an appealing texture.
Three-and-One (U3 version)
As previously stated, you can’t really go wrong with Horizontal Xs. Here is yet another variation of the pattern.
Horizontal Xs variation 1, L1&3/2&4, front
At some point it will be necessary to consolidate all the Horizontal Xs patterns. For now, because I live in semi-chaos, I’m posting this variation here so I can deplete one hodge podge stack of squares and move these two into another.
Horizontal Xs variation 4—L1/2-4
Lattice Borders—judging by the number of variations I made—is one of my favorite patterns from Weave-It Magic Squares. I haven’t included all the variations in this post, only the ones that turned out well.
