Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before starting your project, make sure you have the following materials ready:

• Yarn (any color of your choice)
• Crochet hook (size varies depending on yarn)
• Scissors
• Yarn needle (for weaving in ends)
• Stitch marker (optional)

You can find recommended yarn and tools through the links provided in the video description.

Step 2: Create the First Cap

1. Start with a slip knot.
2. Chain a designated number of stitches for the base of the heart.
3. Make your first cap by following these steps:
   • Crochet into the first chain to form a loop.
   • Work in the round to create the cap using your preferred stitch (like single crochet).
4. Continue until you reach the desired size for the first cap.

Step 3: Form the Second Cap

1. Repeat the same process as you did for the first cap:
   • Chain the same number of stitches.
   • Create a loop and work in the round.
2. Ensure that the two caps are of equal size to form a symmetrical heart shape.

Step 4: Work Through the Rounds

1. Start Round 4 by joining your two caps together.
2. Continue crocheting through the subsequent rounds:
   • For each round, follow the specific stitch count and pattern as indicated in the video.
   • Keep track of your stitches, ensuring they match the pattern to avoid any discrepancies.

Step 5: Complete the Rounds

1. Follow through Rounds 5 to 9:
   • Refer to the video for stitch counts and specific instructions for each round.
   • Use a stitch marker to help keep track of your rounds if needed.
2. Make adjustments as necessary to maintain the form of the heart.

Step 6: Finish Your Heart

1. Once you have completed all rounds, finish off your work:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving.
   • Pull the yarn through the last loop to secure.
2. Use the yarn needle to weave in any loose ends.
