Notes

Crochet Tips:

1. Use invisible join for color changes from round 3 onwards.
2. Take your time with the color changes, especially in rounds 3-5. Keeping your tension consistent will help maintain the shape of your heart.
3. When changing colors, leave longer tails than you think you'll need. This makes weaving in ends easier and more secure.
