Heartagram Finger Knit Blanket Pattern

This finger knitting pattern features the Heartagram, the symbol of the Finnish rock band HIM, a single bold emblem that combines a heart with an inverted pentagram in one clean line. Worked in black on your chosen main colour, the design reads as a clear, pixel-style graphic that stands out from across the room. Created by HIM frontman Ville Valo, the Heartagram became the visual symbol of the band’s love metal sound, and this graphic knit blanket turns it into a chunky throw with plenty of texture and warmth. The Heartagram Finger Knit Blanket Pattern uses colorwork to build the design row by row, so you can work it as a graphghan.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The pattern is worked in stockinette stitch, and you can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks – whichever feels most comfortable for you.

The Heartagram Finger Knit Blanket Pattern includes a colorwork graph with gridlines every 10 stitches, divided into sections for easy printing, full row-by-row written instructions, color block guidance, and a printable PDF. Every row is marked with directional arrows that show which way to work, helping you avoid the most common mistake of reading a row in reverse and ending up with a mirrored design. Always read each row from left to right and follow the arrow for direction. Before you cast on, take a moment to check your gauge, since it directly affects the finished size of your blanket. This design sits at an intermediate level – it uses only two colours, but the fine outline of the Heartagram, with its thin diagonal lines, needs careful counting as you switch between your main colour and black.

Color palette used in this design (2 colors): Main Color and Black.

Pattern language: English. Skill level: Intermediate. Only two colours are used, but the thin outline and diagonal lines of the symbol need steady, careful counting.

Depending on the yarn you choose, the finished blanket works as a lap blanket, a child’s throw, or a large throw for the sofa or the end of the bed. It makes a striking piece for fans of HIM and Ville Valo and anyone who loves the love metal and alternative rock scene, and it suits a bedroom, a music room, or a sofa. Knit this Heartagram Finger Knit Blanket Pattern for a music fan in your life and it becomes a warm, handmade gift that shows real effort.
