Crochet heart (pattern)

Hello!
How is Blogland today?
A long time ago I made some crochet hearts that was a prize in a giveaway. (here)
Although I was happyish with the pattern, it still had an annoying hole, that I covered/hid with a bead.
The hole has now gone! YAY!!!

So here's the pattern!
All UK terms. 3.5mm hook.

Ch 3 and join to form a ring.
Ch 3.
Now work 3dtr, 3tr into ring. 
Ch 1.

Then 3tr, 3dtr into ring ch 3
slst into ring.

(Finish here if you would like a tiny heart, or you can change colour.)
Round 2
Ch3 
In the first dtr work 2dc

                             
In the next dtr, work 3dc.
Work 1dc in the next 4 sts 
1dc in 1ch sp

slst into first ch 
1dc in 1 ch sp.
Now work 1dc in next 4 sts.
3dc in next st
2dc in next st.

slst into center hole.
snip off yarn and pull through.
Pull really tight, 
Now turn heart over and knot the 2 tails together tight.
This gives the shape.
All done!

  4. Thank you so much for sharing your heart pattern with us Hayley! I agree with amjaylou; your pattern is one of the best heart patterns I have seen. It is a perfectly shaped heart! I'm looking forward to making quite a few of them.
