I <heart> your heart! I had wanted to do the knitted one in K.1. but um, I'd rather crochet it! You're the best! I'm going to make one for my dad for his "1st" birthday. (1st anniversary of his quadruple heart bypass surgery and a new lease on life). Thanks a million!

OK here is my version:

I used one strand of red heart and a "h" hook.

 

 

Earlier today I was cutting out felt hearts for my 7 yr olds class, when I was done I told hubby I was going to crochet a heart. He told me there was no way that I could crochet a "real" heart. Of course I said watch me!! :hook . He was totally amazed at how real it looked. He has claimed it as his own and it is going to work with him tomorrow (he is a building inspector for our city) He plans on telling his boss that he needs a heart....because he is heartless :lol .

 

Thanks for a fun evening!!!!

Can someone post a photo of the back? I have no idea what to do with the vena cava. :) Obviously, I need to brush up on my anatomy! I'm done I just have to stuff and sew!
