How To Crochet Heart With No Magic Ring

   • Two strands of yarn (doubled): Makes a medium-sized heart.
2. Crochet Hook: Size 6 hook for bulky yarn. Adjust hook size based on yarn choice.

Step-by-Step Heart Crochet Pattern:

Foundation:

1. Make a Slip Knot:
   • Create a loop with your yarn, hold on to it.
   • Insert the hook into the loop, grab the yarn, and pull tight to form a slip knot.
2. Chain 5:
   • Yarn over, pull through the loop to make your first chain.
   • Repeat until you have 5 chains in total: 1-2-3-4-5.
3. Form a Circle:
   • Make a slip stitch into the first chain:
     • Insert the hook into the first chain.
     • Yarn over, pull through, then pull through the loop on the hook.
