Crochet Pattern Steps:

Start:

• Begin with a slip knot.

Foundation chain:

• Chain 11.

Row 1 (single crochet across):

• Increase by chaining one for height (this chain does not count towards your 11 stitches).
• Turn your work to start the next row. Perform a single crochet in each of the chains from the previous row (11 single crochets total).

Rows 2 and onwards (introducing color change):

• Before you start each new row, chain one for height.
• Introduce a new color yarn for the heart pattern as described in the specific row instructions below. Utilize the invisible color change technique when switching colors.

Creating the Heart:

Row 2:

• Start with 5 white stitches, change to pink for 1 stitch (the middle of the heart), and then back to white for the rest of the row.

For Row 3:

• 4 white, 3 pink (expanding the heart), finish with white.

Row 4:

• Begin to shape the heart with 3 white, 5 pink, and 3 white stitches.

Row 5-8:

• Continue following the pattern to expand and then decrease the heart size, aligning with the pixel heart design.

Finishing Rows:

• After completing the heart pattern, continue with a few more rows of single crochet (or as desired for your project) before finishing off.
• Cut yarn and weave in ends for a neat finish.

Additional Tips:

• Remember to perform color changes invisibly to maintain a seamless look.
• You can practice making multiple squares and sewing them together for larger projects.
