Step by step Pattern
Round 1:
- Start with a magic ring. (Alternatively, you can chain 2 and work into the first chain if you prefer not to use a magic ring.)
- Chain 2 (counts as the first treble crochet).
- Work 3 treble crochets into the ring. (American terms, yarn over twice before each stitch.)
- Work 3 double crochets into the ring.
- For the bottom of the heart, do the following: 1 double crochet, 1 treble crochet, then another 1 double crochet into the ring.
- To create the other side of the heart, work 3 double crochets into the ring.
- Work 3 treble crochets into the ring.
- Work a slip stitch into the magic ring.
- Chain 1, then work a single crochet into the same space as chain 2.
- Pull the magic ring tight to close.
Round 2:
- Start working into the top of the stitches from round 1 under both loops.
- In the first stitch, work 3 double crochets.
- In the next stitch, work 3 double crochets.
- Continue with 3 double crochets in the next stitch.
- Work 1 double crochet into each of the next three stitches.
- In the following stitch, work 2 double crochets.
- Into the next stitch, perform the following: 1 extended double crochet, 1 treble crochet, then another 1 extended double crochet.
- In the subsequent stitch, work 2 double crochets.
- Work 1 double crochet into each of the next three stitches.
- In the next stitch, work 3 double crochets.
- Repeat the step of working 3 double crochets in the next stitch.
- In the last stitch from the row below, work 3 double crochets.
- Work a single crochet into the chain-2 space.
- To finish this round, slip stitch to the first single crochet made at the end of the first round.
Joining and Finishing:
- Create a second heart following the same steps but do not cut the yarn after completing.
- Place the wrong sides of the two hearts together, ensuring the tails are on the inside.
- If using contrasting colors, work the join with the color facing the front for a decorative edge.
- Start joining by aligning the stitches, slip stitch through both hearts together, while chaining 1 between each slip stitch.
- Continue until about three-quarters of the way around, then start stuffing the heart lightly before completely closing the join.
- For a decorative effect at the "dip" at the top of the heart, work a final slip stitch in this area.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long enough tail if you wish to create a hanging loop or just for weaving in.
- Weave in the ends neatly.
