Materials:
Worsted Weight yarn (Red and White)
Crochet hook, size G/6
Gauge: 4 dc = 1 inch
Finished size: 7 " x 7 "
Special Notes: Always work over unused red yarn when you are working with the white, but do not work over unused white yarn when you are working with the red yarn. This "carries" the red yarn where you need it and it keeps the white yarn near the heart part, so you'll have it there when you make the heart part.
