Crochet Heart Pattern

- This pattern consists of:
Single crochet stitches (sc), increases (m2), and decreases (sc2tog)
- Crochet tightly to receive a firm and substantial heart, if you tend to crochet a bit loose, try going down a needle size or two, if necessary.
- Stuff firmly, this way your heart will pop up quite nicely and remain of good shape 
- If you use a 3.5 mm hook your heart will be app. 4" / 10cm in diameter
- Before we start, another helpful tip. To prevent holes at the beginning of your work make a
double ring (dr)
- tTo make a double ring wrap yarn around your finger two times, remove resulting loops from

finger and start crocheting desired number of stitches into these loops. Holding the stitches
firmly with one hand, pull on the yarn tail with the other. One after the other both loops will drawn closed. Insert a marker at the beginning/end of the round.
