Round 1:

Using C1, Create a magic circle (my way is super easy to learn!) – or – chain 3, and work your first stitch into the 1st chain, or join the chain and work into the center.

Work the following stitches into the center of the magic ring or circle you created:

• Str
• Tr 2
• Dc 4
• Tr 1
• Dc 4
• Tr 3
• Ch 2

Join with sl st into the center of the magic ring and pull the ring closed.

(16 Sts – including the ch-2)

Round 4:

Count back six sc to the right from the center of the heart V (sl st does not count). Attach C2 in BLO of that stitch.
