When Russia invaded Ukraine my friend Anne Crochette modified my Super Easy Heart pattern to make a two coloured heart, in this case blue and yellow for the Ukrainian flag. Anne asked me to publish it. WE did, quickly and roughly, but it is available as a download on Ravelry and here.
There's a chart by Anne, a written pattern by our friend Anke and various bits and bobs by me. My handout is very basic graphics wise, but useful.
