Families unable to visit relatives nearing the end of their lives are being given handmade knitted hearts to remember them by.
Visiting restrictions during the Coronavirus outbreak mean many patients and their families are separated at the worst possible time, but NHS staff are trying to ease the pain by giving each family a special keepsake. Matching pairs of knitted hearts are given to the patient and their family, so that people can feel more connected with their relatives. Swindon-based nurse Laura Kirby-Deacon first launched the appeal for people to send small handcrafted hearts to patients with Covid-19 and their families, and you can see Laura's appeal and find more details of how to contribute in this BBC video.
If you can join me in knitting hearts for this campaign, my knitting pattern is attached below. I am happy for you to share this pattern with your friends and knitting groups, and thank you all for your amazing generosity.
