Christmas Decoration: Crochet Hearts

At times it feels good to make beautiful things, that are easy and quick to make. You can crotchet a heart like this in a couple of hours.

First, you just need a a piece of wire you can bend into the shape of a heart.

Then you take some left-over tricot and you crotchet a round of single crotchet ("kiinteä silmukka", not sure if the translation is correct, sorry if not).

Once the heart is covered, switch to a thin yarn and make a round of single crotchet (three loops in one tricot loop).

On the second round, make three chains and fix your chains with a single crotchet.

On the third round make one single crochet two chains and one single crotchet to each chain ring.

And - voilá - your heart is done... I got carried away and made a few.
