General Notes
- The heart is designed with rounds joined at the end of each one.
- Begin each round with 1 ch to rise.
- Close each round with a sl st, inserting the hook into the first single crochet of that round (not into the chain stitch).
- Instructions between ** indicate stitches to be repeated in the same round.
- Ensure your stitches are tight to prevent the stuffing from showing or slipping through.
- The heart is made of two pieces, joined together to continue crocheting the body.
- You can use a different yarn weight and hook size to create hearts of various sizes.
