Pattern Written:

Round 1: Ch 2. Into the magic ring, make 3 tr, 4 dc, tr, 4 dc, 3 tr. Ch 2, and sl st into magic ring.

Note: You can stop here if you want to make mini crochet hearts.

Round 2: Continue in joined rounds, working into the stitches of the previous round.

Sc in ch-2 sp, (2 hdc and 1dc) in next st, 3 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, dc in next 4 sts, (dc, tr, dc) in next st, dc in next 4 sts, 2 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, (1 dc and 2 hdc) in next st, sc in ch-2 sp, sl st in sl st from the previous rnd.

Where is the ch-2 sp? You’ll start Round 2 by working into the chain-2 space that was formed by the ch 2 you made at the beginning of Round 1. You’ll finish the round in the same way, working into the chain-2 space you made at the end of Round 2. Both of these chain spaces lay alongside the neighboring treble crochet stitches.

Note: You can stop here to make a medium-size heart.

Round 3: Continue working in the round.

Sc in first 2 sts. (2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in the next st) three times, sc in next 6 sts, (sc, hdc, sc) in next st, sc in next 6 sts, (1 sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st) three times, sc in next 2 sts.

Cut yarn and join with an invisible join. Tighten up the magic ring one more time, and weave in the ends.
