Heart Ring - Super Easy
Instructions have been updated on February 18, 2014.
My good friend, Dedri, pointed out that part of the pattern was not clear.
She was absolutely right.
I have added a couple more pictures and changed a line or two.
I hope that it is clearer now.
Thanks Dedri!

Below the pattern instructions,
you will find a step by step Photo Tutorial by Dedri.
She took pictures of the entire process.
I cannot believe that she found the time.

She has some really remarkable patterns:
I
needed a quick and easy Valentine for my mother’s gift basket at work.
I
wanted to make it as easy as possible.

one works up very fast (5 minutes).
The yarn stretches a bit so it can fit different size fingers.
It could also be used as a dangle for a key chain.

Pattern Notes:
- Unless
instructed, work in both loops
of each stitch.
- Work
over the beginning yarn end to eliminate weaving it in.
- Be
sure to close the Magic ring center.
After completing a couple stitches, another tug on the beg yarn-end
should keep the center closed.
- You
can vary the thickness of the yarn a bit, and also the hook size.
If
you want a larger heart on your finger, use a larger hook.
Be
sure to measure the chain length to fit the finger.
The
yarn can stretch a bit, so a tad smaller may be okay.
Also,
the rings can be sized to fit any finger, including thumb (or toes).
