- Work 3 treble crochets (tr) into the ring
- Work 3 double crochets (dc) into the ring

- Chain 2 and slip stitch into the center of the ring to close the heart shape
- Tighten and Finish
- Pull the magic ring tight to close the center.
- Fasten off and weave in your ends with a yarn needle.
- Accent Color
- Join accent color to the center of the heart with a SLST. SC in each stitch around. When you get to the bottom of the heart (TR stitch) SC in the stitch then CH1. Continue SC in each stitch back around to the top of the heart. Join with a SLST in the center of the heart to finish. Fasten off yarn and weave in ends or leave a loop to hang as garland.
