Cute Padded 3d Love Hearts

Hi all, this moth I'm showing you how to do these cute padded 3d love hearts they are pretty basic and it’s all done using the single crochet stitch which will be abbreviated to SC.

Items needed are: 4mm Crochet hook, do wool in any colour, scissors, a yarn needle and some padding or cotton wool.

You start by chaining 3 then slip stitch into chain one to form a loop then chain 1.

Round 1. SC 9 in to the centre of the loop, we will be working in continual rounds with no slip stitch to join.

Round 2. Now e will be doing 2 SC in each of the 9 stitches to give us a stitch count of 18 it should look something like this

Round 3 Single crochet in each stitch for 18 stitches.

Round 4. 1 SC in every stitch for a count of 18 then skip the next stitch then slip stitch in to the next stitch to even it off, you will see it's starting to curve which is what we want, now snip the yarn and make a 2nd one but on round 4 instead of a stitch count of 18 stop at 13 as we will be joining the 2 together there, at the moment they may look like a pair of nipples especially if you have used pink like me but they won't for long hahaha.
