Join thread to next ch 3 (6) ( from start ch) and crochet 9 (18) rows of sc. Cut thread. Notice that if you crochet with unequal stitches here, you do not have to cut, but can continue when the other half have been made.
Crochet one more pjece in red, the same way.
Plait the hearts together and crochet one row of sc over both ends, in same color ( one more row on the 9 (18) row). = 9 (18) sc. Make the bow. Sc 2 tog in beginning and ending of each row. When there are 3 (4) sc left, crochet together. Cut thread.
You can make bigger or smaller heart.
The stitches must be devided with 3. Ch 1 = 1 row.
That says::
3 x ch 4 (ch 13 as start) there must be 12 rows.
3 x ch 5 (ch 16 as start) there must be 15 rows.
3 x ch 6 (ch 19 as start) there must be 18 rows.
3 x ch 7 (ch 22 as start) there must be 21 rows.
If you want a heart with 4 plaits, the stitches must be devided to 4 stitches.
