Getting ready for Christmas - Hearts

I've found a few patterns for hearts on the net and kept messing them all up so made up my own pattern based on what I'd learned.

Hearts - the chain 1 at the end of each row does not count for anything and is just to keep it neat.

Chain 3, dc in to last chain from hook.  ch1 turn (2)

2dc into first st. 2dc into 2nd st. ch1 turn (4)

2dc into first st. dc, dc, 2dc into last st. ch1 turn (6)

2dc into first st, dc, dc, dc, dc, 2 dc into last st. Ch1 turn (8)

Skip first st, ss into 2nd st, 5tr into next st, ss, ss, 5tr into next st, ss, ss. Ch1 do not turn.

DC round the edge of the heart, make sure to do 3dc into the point and 2 dc into the top stitches of the heart's bumps. SS into the space between the two lumps. Voila! Simples eh?
