• Use bright, contrasting colors for a bold effect.
• If you are new to magic rings, start with a chain-4 ring for ease.
• Count your stitches carefully on heart rows for a symmetrical result.
• Block your granny square gently to make the heart motif pop.

Tip

For sharper corners and a neater square, always chain 3 in each corner space and use consistent tension!
