Row 1

Work 6 single crochet stitches into the center ring. (6 sts)

Row 2

Make 1 single crochet on top of each stitch around. Continue working in continuous rounds without joining.

Repeat the same step by making one single crochet on top of each stitch for all rows. Maintain even tension to achieve a neat pipe-like structure.

Continue until the tube reaches the required length. In this project, approximately 50+ rows were worked.

Shaping the Outer Heart

Chain 1 and fasten off, leaving a long tail. Insert an 18-gauge wire inside the tube. Fold the tube in half and twist the top part slightly to secure the shape.

Using a tapestry needle, stitch the first and last rows together securely. Repeat stitching back and forth for strength. Tie a knot and hide the yarn tail.

Shape the heart by bending the wire gently. Trim excess wire at the bottom and twist the remaining wire to form a hook.

Attaching the 3D Heart

• Repeat around

Row 12:

Repeat Row 11.

Repeat same decrease pattern to reduce the crown opening.

Row 14 (Final Crown Row – Half Double Crochet):

Use HDC and HDC invisible decreases all the way around to tighten the opening at the top.
