Following each round, the numbers in parentheses are the stitch count of that row. Stitches used in this pattern are listed below, this pattern is for everyone of all skill levels and takes roughly 60-90 minutes to complete. After the yarn is cut and tied off, the designer tucks ends into the middle of the heart during assembly, leaving only one end to weave in at the end. This project can be made with #3 weight yarn and a 2.75mm hook for a smaller size.

— Assembly :
Info :
This is assembled right sides out, the project will not be turned inside out to stuff so the seams will be seen on the finished piece. Remember to tuck the loose ends into the project as you close it, so you don't have to weave them in. There is a total of 60 sc on each side of the edging attached to each heart panel.
Step 1 :
Starting at the 'V' of the heart between the two rounded top edges, hold the edging behind the heart and enter the hook through the stitch in the heart and the first sc from the edging to pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook to complete the sc through both layers. Working up the heart, sc through the heart and edging 5 times to reach the top row of the heart. (Total of 6 sc completed at the end of this step.)
Step 2 :
Sc 5 through the heart and edging, on the edging count 19 stitches and place a stitch marker through the stitch in the edging and the tip of the heart. This will hold it together and help with spacing when stitching along the side.
Step 3 :
Evenly space the next 18 sc between both layers along the edge of the heart down toward the tip, sc through the marked stitch and tip of the heart. In the same stitch, sc 2 more times for a total of 3 stitches of the edging attached through one stitch in the tip of the heart. (Total of 31 stitches completed so far in assembly.)
Step 4 :
Continue 18 sc up the other side of the of the heart until you reach the top row of the heart. (Total of 49 stitches completed so far in assembly.)
Step 5 :
Sc 5 across the top of the heart and the edging, then 6 sc evenly spaced to reach the middle, with the final stitch landing next to the first of this round in the 'V'. (Total of 60 stitches completed in assembly, 1 stitch remains on edging.) Slip stitch to first stitch in the round, ch 1.
Step 6 :
Flip the project over so you are on the 'inside' of the heart. Going through the last stitch in the edging and the first stitch completed in the edging, slip stitch the 2 short ends together using 4 slip stitches. This will create a heart with a fully connected rim, similar to a tiny box.
Step 7 :
Position the other heart panel over the project, repeat the same process as the first side (use diagram as visual aid for stitch placement); join through the front of the heart panel to the edging and sc the two pieces together, space 5 sc evenly until the top of the heart row is reached. (6 sc so far this side of assembly)
Step 8 :
5 sc in the top row of the heart, use a stitch marker to connect the point of the heart to the edging, evenly space 18 sc to the point, in the point sc 3, 18 sc evenly spaced to the top row of the heart, 5 sc. (55 sc so far this side of assembly)
Step 9 :
Stuff the heart with poly-fil or other stuffing, 6 sc evenly spaced to close, slip stitch to first stitch in the edging, cut yarn and tie off. Weave in the end to finish.
Info :
Optional: Using red yarn, sew a message to one side of the heart. You could also use felt and attach it with fabric adhesive or a felting needle.
