Step-by-Step Instructions

2. Round 1:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Work 15 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the initial chain-3.
   • Fasten off the cream yarn.
3. Round 2:
   • Join the pink yarn in any of the double crochet stitches from Round 1.
   • Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Work 2 dc in each stitch around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain-3.
   • Fasten off the pink yarn.
4. Round 3:
   • Join the red yarn in any of the double crochet stitches from Round 2.
   • Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Work (2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next stitch) around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain-3.
   • Fasten off the red yarn.
5. Round 4:
   • Join the pink yarn in any of the double crochet stitches from Round 3.
   • Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch.
   • Work (2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches) around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the initial chain-3.
   • Fasten off the pink yarn.
6. Shape the Heart:
   • Fold the circle in half to find the center top.
   • Mark the center top of the circle.
   • Work 4 single crochets (sc) in the marked stitch to form the top of the heart.
   • Continue working sc around the edges to shape the heart.
   • Join with a sl st to complete the heart shape.
