Heart
At first you will make 2 cups which will be joined together to make the heart.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in Mr (6)
Rnd 2: 6 inc (12)
Rnd 3: (1 inc, 3 sc) X 3 times (15)
Rnd 4: (1 inc, 4 sc) X 3 times (18)
Rnd 5: (1 inc, 5 sc) X 3 times (21)
Rnd 6: 21sc (21)
Rnd 7: (1 inc, 6 sc) X 3 times (24)
Rnd 8: 24 sc (24)
Cut the thread, leave a 15-20 cm long tail.
Similarly, crochet the second cup, but do not cut the thread this time.
With the loop from the second cup on the hook, let’s join the details to make the heart:
Rnd 9: starting with the stitch next to the last one where you cut the thread, crochet 21 sc along the first cup. Skip 3 remaining stitches of the first cup and return to the second cup. On the second cup, also skip 3 stitches and crochet 21 sc (42)
In this way, you have skipped 3 sc on each cup. Sew the hole with the thread from the first cup. Do not forget to mark the beginning of the round, which will be the center of the heart, at the place where you have joined the cups and crocheted the first round of sc along the first cup. Stuff as you go.
