Invisible Join to Finish the Last Round
Cut the yarn, leaving about 10 cm (4 in).
Thread a yarn needle and insert it into the second stitch from front to back, skipping the first stitch.
Insert the needle into the center of the last stitch worked, creating a loop that looks like a stitch and sits over the skipped single crochet.
Gently pull to adjust the loop so it matches the other stitches.
Weave in the remaining yarn tail on the wrong side of the heart.
