Edge: Ch 1. Work 3 SC in each space around the heart (this includes around the ch-3 spaces and the DC stitches). When you reach the pointed bottom of the heart, make 6 SC into the center ring to create a smooth, rounded edge.

At the top of the heart, where the two bumps are, work HDC, DC, HDC into the next three DC stitches of the first bump. Repeat the same for the second bump to maintain symmetry. To emphasize the dent at the center between the two bumps, make a slip stitch into the space beneath the original SC, pulling slightly to create a deeper indentation.

Finally, slip stitch to the first SC to join and fasten off.
