- Start with a magic ring.
- Chain 1, make 10 single crochet (sc) stitches into the ring.
- Pull the ring tightly closed.
- Row 2:

- Row 3:
- Sc in each stitch around, maintaining 20 stitches.
- Rows 4 to 6:
- Repeat Row 3.
Joining the Two Hearts:
- Remove the stitch markers and position the two hearts together.
- Join by pulling a loop from one heart through a loop of the other heart, alternating colors.
Row 7:
- Continue sc around the perimeter of the hearts, making sure to smoothly transition between the two colors at the joins.
Row 8:
- Begin with 2 sc, then make an invisible decrease.
- Sc in the next 12 stitches.
- Make another invisible decrease and complete the round changing colors as needed.
Row 9:

- Sc in next 10 stitches.

Row 10:

- Sc in the next 8 stitches, followed by an invisible decrease, and continue the pattern.
Arms (Make 2, one in each color):
- Chain 13 (for blue) or 12 (for yellow).
- Start from the second chain from the hook, make a slip stitch back down the chain, forming fingers by chain 2 and slip stitch in each, then join the digits with slip stitches.
Attach the arms between Rows 7 and 8 on each side.
Finishing Rows 11-16:
- Continue decreasing each row to close the heart at the top, changing colors as you go.
