Red and blue acrylic, a little dark blue, yellow and pink yarn, artificial eyes - 4 pcs. (or white cotton for knitting), thick wire (better in isolation), filler (sintepuh, cotton wool), a piece of the cover of a polyethylene segregator (or thick cardboard), a button.
The heart itself without handles and legs: height 10 cm, width 11 cm, thickness 5.5 cm. Heart with legs - 14 cm.

1. Heart
We chain a chain of 3 CG in a ring. We knit in a circle.
Similarly we knit the second hemisphere. The thread at the end of the 8th row is not cut.
We connect both parts (see photo №1 - №2). We transfer 5 SPN loops, grasping the loops simultaneously in two halves (see photos # 3 and # 4).
Next, we knit on the front side in a circle, tying both halves together as one whole (see photo No. 8).
9th row: RLS
We press the hemispheres to each other ("flatten" them), mark the color points with the colored thread (see photo # 9). These are places of deductions.
10-22 series: RLS, at each extreme point we make 1 reduction.
Next, to give the heart volume, we make 4 adjustments in a row. For this purpose, let's mark the middle thread with a colored thread on each side (see photo # 14). Total in each row 2 side markings (marked with a red thread) and 2 in the middle of the row (marked with a white thread) = 4 additions.
When there is a small hole, we fill the heart with a filler (see photo # 16).
We continue the adjustments. At the very end of the allowance, you can knit in a row: you decide which version of the "tail" you like best - more or less pointed.
2. "Pens" and "legs"
Take a thick wire, better insulated. Cut into 2 hearts 4 segments about 28 cm. We insert the wire into the hearts at the level of the legs and handles. In order for the wire to pass easily through a tightly stuffed heart, pre-pierce the holes - moves with a thick knitting needle (see photo).
3. "Feet" - boots
We dial a chain of 7 EI. Then we knit in a circle.
1 row: RLS, at the extreme points of the chain - 4 RLS
2-3 ranks: RLS, at the extreme points - near 2 increments
4-7 ranks: RLS (see photo No. 18)
We cut out from a dense material (a cardboard, a plastic cover) "insole" on the size of a leg. We put the insole into the boot (see photo # 19 - # 20).
8-9 row: the contracting decrease (see photo No. 21).
When the hole becomes small, we insert the shoes into the wire frame (see photo # 22). We fill the shoes on top with sintered cotton or cotton wool (see photo # 23).
Next, we cut the losses, until we almost completely close the hole. There should be several loops (see photo # 24).
Further on a circle, we climb the RLS along the wire to the heart (see photo # 25).
4. "Handles"
We dial a chain of 4 EAs. We knit in a circle.
1-2 series: RLS, at the extreme points of the chain - 3 RLS
3-5 ranks: RLS (see photo # 27)
We put the handle in the wire frame (see photo # 28).
6 row: Decrease
Further along the circle, we climb the RLS along the wire to the heart (see photo # 29).
Just like the legs, we also sew the handles to the heart.
5. Decoration
Eyes can be used ready, I like to knit everything. Embroidered on a white knitted basis with a dark thread of the pupil. We embroider a mouth, a nose, cilia at the girl and an eyebrow at the boy.
The boy is embroidered with shoelaces on his shoes. We knit a small cap (option - a bowler, a cylinder). You can sew a bow tie under the mouth - "butterfly".
We sew parts of the button on the hands of the boy and girl so that the hearts can hold hands.
A girl from a yellow acrylic is made a hairdress, we collect hair in a "tail", we add a flower, on boots we sew lacing and bows.
