For the Actual crochet heart at the centre of the square. I will refer us back to a previous Large Crochet heart coaster pattern.

Materials:

For making this step-by-step tutorial, I will be using

4.00mm Crochet hook & a Double Knit Yarn.

NOTES:

This crochet heart does not start with a magic ring
we will NOT be using a magic ring to start the heart
To start the crochet heart. You will loosely chain 4 to start and work ALL the first round of stitches into the FIRST chain from the hook.
I find this method the BEST and easier to tighten and fasten off securely.

I am an extremely loose crocheter; you may need to go up a hook size, especially when making the sc in round 3.

Abbreviations

dbltrc = Double Treble Crochet (yarn over 4 times)

trc = treble crochet (yarn over 3 times)
