Close the Opening:

Adding the Relief Detail

To create the textured ridge around the heart, begin with a slipknot on your hook.
Attach the yarn to any stitch along the edges of the heart.
Work a sequence of (sl st, ch 1) into each stitch around the heart’s edge. This will form a raised, decorative border.
