Step By Step Pattern
Baby pink color.
- 1. Magic ring and 6 sc into it = 6
- 2. 6 inc 12
- 3. (1 sc, inc)*6 = 18
- 4. (1 sc, inc, 1 sc)*6 = 24
- 5-6. 24 sc 24 (2 rows)
Make two of those pieces. Cut the thread on the first piece; do not cut the thread on the second piece.
Connecting pieces.
- 7. 24 sc on the second piece, 24 sc on the first piece = 48

Cut a wire 30 cm long (if you use a different yarn and a different hook size, then you need to change the length of the wire), make a loop at one end, and wrap it with electrical tape. Wrap the whole wire with yarn. Insert the wire into the heart.
Start stuffing the heart and continue stuffing as you progress.
