Cut yarn, leaving an 8 inch tail. Thread tail onto yarn needle. Push needle down through the center top of heart and out the center of the heart back. Give it a little tug to pull the center of your heart a little more of a heart shape. Anchor the tugged yarn by weaving the yarn in and then finish off! If you want, you can take a little piece of yarn and make a little bow on the top of your heart.
