Schematic:
Two rounded lobes at the top joined together, then decreasing in rounds to a point at the bottom to form a classic heart shape.

Join and Shape the Heart

Now, you should have two rounded pieces, each with 18 stitches.

Hold both pieces side by side.
Starting in the next stitch of your working lobe, sc in each of the 18 sts of the first lobe, then continue to sc in all 18 sts of the second lobe (36 total).

Use the long yarn tail of the first lobe to secure and weave in as you crochet around, so there are no holes at the join.
Mark the first stitch of this round with your stitch marker.

Begin Stuffing: Start adding stuffing little by little.

Use the end of a pencil or the back of your hook to push stuffing up into the lobes for a nicely rounded shape.

Round 16: 6 dec (6)
- As you crochet this round, finish stuffing the heart so it is firm and even.
Finish Off: Cut a long yarn tail, thread the yarn needle, and weave the end through the front loops of the last 6 stitches. Pull taut to close the hole.
Final Touches: Add a bit more stuffing if needed before closing completely. Weave in and hide the yarn end inside the heart.
