Knitted Heart Placemat

I knitted a small placemat for my coffee break in the shape of a heart. The heart was knitted sideways and in the end I crocheted a backstitch (single crochet) around the entire heart. Each row is knitted differently and that is why it requires a lot of concentration and patience. I knitted the heart with a seed stitch.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
