Valentines day hearts

Happy Valentines day!

Since its the day of luuurve I thought I'd put up a simple pattern that I worked out especially for you beautiful lot, because I love ya ;)

So this is for a simple crochet heart, there are lots of lovely lacey patterns out there, and I'll probably want to revisit them at some date but this is done in rows of single crochet because it can be a wooly Valentines day card :)

Row 1: chain two, sl st in first chain, turn
2: 3 s in st from previous row, turn
3: 2 in first s, 1 in the next s, 2 in the last s
continue making 2 st in the first and last of the row until you have 11 st, it will take another 3 rows.

7-9 straight st, no increases.
10: (Gets a little tricky now) st 5, turn
11: st tog, st 1, turn
12: st tog, bind off.

then joint your wool to the the other end of the row and repeat the last 3 steps :)

This was my first attempt, it looked a little bit blocky so I tried again.



But I really liked the results the second time! Although I still think it needs a little bit of perfecting. 

I hope you all have a lovely day!
