Simple and easy almost perfect Crochet heart

There are sooooo many crochet heart patterns out there, some are easy , so are hard and some make no sense. This is a quick one I came up with after searching and not finding what I wanted!

Supplies needed: Yarn ( any ) and the hook that is suggested to use for that yarn
ROUND 1

I'm using a size H and 4ply Caron Simply Soft

Chain 6, 2hdc in 2nd ch from the hook, 1 hdc in next ch ( 3rd from hook) 5hdc in next ch.

Hdc in next ch. 3hdc in last chain

So right now you should have what looks like an upside down "V", this will be the bottom of the heart!

Now we will continue around the other side or back side of the chain.

HDC in next ch, sl st in next chain, hdc in next 3 chs. Sl st in first hdc. This ends round one.

Round 2

ch 1, 2hdc in next 2 stitches,

1 Hdc in the next 4 stitches, 5hdc in the next stitch * this should make the point of the bottom of the heart see photo below

1HDC in the next 4 stitches, 2 hdc in the next stitches,Sl St in the next 2stitchs, 1 Hdc in the next stitch, Sl St in the 1st hdc of the round!
