- Scissors: For cutting the yarn.

Important Notes:
- The foundation of this heart pattern starts with a magic ring. If you are not familiar with it, you may want to practice it before beginning.
- The heart is formed by combining chains, treble (or "triple") crochets, double crochets, and slip stitches.
- Pay attention to the video guidance for how to shape the heart by pulling the tail yarn.
- Once you’re familiar with the pattern, making hearts can be done quickly and is ideal for decorations, gifts, or creative embellishments.
Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring
- Create a magic ring as the base for the heart.
- Inside the ring, chain one as the starting stitch.
- Follow this by chaining two more stitches, making a total of three chains (this counts toward the first treble crochet section).
Step 2: Create Three Treble Crochets
- To make a treble crochet:
- Yarn over the hook twice, insert it into the ring, yarn over and pull through (you’ll have four loops on the hook).
- Yarn over and pull through the first two loops.
- Yarn over again, pull through the next two loops.
- Finally, yarn over one last time and pull through the remaining two loops.
- Repeat the steps above three times to make a total of three treble crochets in the magic ring.
Step 3: Create Four Double Crochets
- Crochet four double crochets in the magic ring.
- A double crochet is worked as follows:
- Yarn over once, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over and pull up a loop.
- Yarn over, pull through the first two loops.
- Yarn over again, and pull through the last two loops.
- Repeat the above steps four times for a total of four double crochets.
Step 4: Chain Two
- Create two chains to form the middle point of the heart.
Step 5: Repeat the Mirror Image
- Begin working the opposite side of the heart:
- Make four double crochets in the magic ring.
- Then, follow by making three treble crochets, repeating the technique from Step 2.
Step 6: Form the Tip
- Chain three more stitches.
- End this section by making a slip stitch into the magic ring.
Step 7: Shape the Heart
- Pull the short tail of the magic ring securely to close the center and form the heart shape.
- Use your fingers to gently adjust the heart and ensure it looks symmetrical.
Step 8: Finish the Heart
- Pull the final loop (created by the slip stitch) to tighten it.
- Cut the yarn and pull the end through the loop to secure it.
- Use the embroidery needle to weave in the excess yarn/tails on the back side.
- Trim any remaining ends for a neat finish.
Final Result:
Your crochet heart is ready! These hearts are quick and easy to make, perfect for small decorations, garlands, keychains, or gifts.
