Magic Circle and Rounds

Total Stitches:

Subsequent Rounds to Shape the Heart
Increase Rounds:
- Continue increasing by placing additional sc between increases each round.
- For every subsequent round, increase the number of sc between increases incrementally (e.g., two sc between increases for Round 3, three for Round 4, etc.).
- Continue this pattern until reaching the desired size of the heart base.
Working the Sides and Closing
Rounds for Side Shaping:
- Begin each round with an increase followed by several sc stitches according to the pattern set by previous rounds.
Closing the Rounds:
- Towards the end of shaping each heart side, begin decreasing the number of stitches:
- Replace two adjacent sc stitches with a single sc decrease (sc two stitches together).
Assembly and Details
Eyes and Stuffing:
- Place safety eyes or embroider eyes following personal preference.
- Begin stuffing with polyester fiberfill before completely closing the heart.
Tail:
- Crochet a chain for the tail and attach it at the backside of the heart.
Main:
- Crochet a main with a second color and attach along the top curve of the heart by stitching.
Ears:
- Crochet small triangles for ears and attach them at the top, between the main and the front side.
Embroidery Details:

Final Assembly:

Finishing Up:
