  To make the heart lobes:

  Fasten off.
  Left lobe:
  Rejoin yarn A to the stitch on the left of the middle stitch on row 31.

  Row 45: sc (UKdc)2tog, sc (UKdc)2tog (2 sts).
  Fasten off and weave in all loose ends.
  Making up
  With WS together, join yarn B immediately to the right of the bottom point of the heart, ch 1 and sc (UKdc) through both hearts evenly up the side and round the right lobe to the centre. Start stuffing the heart at this point, and add more when you are halfway round to the bottom point so it is quite taut. For the centre dip between the heart lobes, make 3 sc (UKdc) so you do not lose the shape, then continue to sc (UKdc) around. At the bottom point of the heart, in the middle stitch, work 1 sc (UKdc), 1hdc (UKhtr), 1 sc (UKdc) to accentuate the point, then ss into initial chain. Fasten off and weave in the loose end. Attach yarn B to the middle of the lobes, ch 20 to form a hanging chain, join to middle lobes and fasten off. Weave in loose ends.
