Hooked in wool, the Horseshoe Heart throw pillow puts hearts and a horseshoe front and center. The loops catch the light differently from every angle, which is what gives hooked work its depth from across a room.
Out for February, or out all year if you are that kind of house. One hooked piece among smoother covers gives a sofa physical variety no pattern can fake.
A blue horseshoe and a red heart cross over each other on a plain cream ground, both drawn in loose outline rather than filled solid. The small square keeps to three colors, which is why it sits easily next to busier pillows.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool is why pieces like this last: it resists crushing, holds its dye, and looks better used than new. A thoughtful gift for a valentine who would rather have something lasting than flowers.
