The document provides instructions for crocheting a heart shape using single crochet stitches and chains. It describes working the heart in rounds, starting with a square shape and then adding two semicircles on either side. Detailed instructions are given for working the edges around the entire heart shape with single crochets and chain stitches. The finished heart can be dipped in sugared water or drink to stiffen it before drying flat. Diagrams illustrate the stitch patterns.

HEART:

You first work a square in the round, starting from the middle of the square. Then you work a
semi-circle back and forth along one side of the square. Then another semi-circle along the
other side of the square, i.e. beside the first semi-circle.

Work 4 chain stitches with hook size 3 mm / C and Safran and form them to a ring with 1 slip
stitch in first chain stitch (= middle of square). Continue in the round according to diagram A.1 -
REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! When A.1 has been completed (do not cut strand)
work a semi-circle back and forth according to diagram A.2 along the first side of A.1. When
A.2 has been completed, cut and fasten strand.
Then work a semi-circle according to A.2 in the same way along the next side of A.1 - see star
in diagram (start from right side). When A.2 has been completed, you have finished in the
middle of the 2 semi-circles - do not cut strand!
Now work an edge around the whole heart as follows:
Work 1 single crochet around first chain stitch, * 2 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around next
chain stitch *, work from *-* along the whole semi-circle, then along the side of the square as
follows: Work 1 single crochet around corner-space, 2 chain stitches, * 1 single crochet around
next chain-space, 2 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around same chain-space, 2 chain stitches
*, work from *-* along both sides of square, then work along the other semi-circle as follows:
Work 1 single crochet around first chain stitch, * 2 chain stitches, 1 single crochet around next
chain stitch *, repeat from *-* along the whole semi-circle, finish with 30 chain stitches (= loop)
and fasten with 1 slip stitch in first single crochet at beginning of round. Cut and fasten strand.
So the heart hangs nicely and is a bit stiff, you can dip it in sugared water or colorless fizzy
drink and lay flat to dry.
