Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Make Two Hearts (Red & White)

Heart Base (Make 2: one red, one white)

Round 1:

Create a magic ring (wrap yarn twice around finger, insert hook, pull thread through, chain 1 to secure).
Crochet 10 sc into ring.
Pull and secure with two threads so ring closes neatly.
Join with a slip stitch to the first sc (10 sts).

Round 2:

Chain 1.
2 sc in each stitch around (increase in every stitch).
Join with slip stitch. (20 sts)

Rounds 3–6:

Chain 1.
1 sc in each stitch around.
Join with slip stitch each round. (20 sts per round)
Repeat until you have 6 rounds in total.

Make one heart in red, one in white, using same method.

2. Join Hearts & Start Split Rows

Joining:

Place both hearts flat, align stitches.
Insert hook through matching stitches, pull white loop through red loop (chain to join), pull red thread gently to secure.
Chain 1 to start the joining round.
Begin the seventh round, working sc around white side first (left), then switch to red side.
Use stitch markers if desired.

Round 7:

Crochet 1 sc in each stitch around the combined heart shape, working first on white side, then switching to red when you reach color change.
When you reach last white stitch, change color smoothly by pulling red through.
Finish round on red side, change color back to white.
(Total: 40 sc – 20 each color)

Round 8:

Repeat as above: 20 sc each color, switch colors at appropriate point.

3. Decrease & Shape Hearts (Rounds 9–17)

Start shaping the tip of each heart:
Use this decrease sequence on each color section (follow instructions for color change and switching sides).
