Day 13 Advent Calendar

The pattern for Day 13 is featured on the DROPS Christmas Workshop 2011.
I used the pattern as it is, but used a single thread of Dk as before and crocheted the centre in white only and I did 3dc in the final row at the point and made 15ch for the loop

HEART:
Work 2 ch with crochet hook size 4 mm and 1 thread of each colour. Crochet 3 dc in 2nd ch from hook. Turn piece. Continue as follows:
ROW 1 (= WS): 1 ch, 1 dc in first dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in the last dc = 5 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 2 (= RS): 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the first 2 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 2 dc = 7 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 3: 1 ch, 1 dc in each of first 3 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of last 3 dc = 9 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 4: 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the first 4 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 4 dc = 11 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 5: 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the first 5 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 5 dc = 13 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 6: 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the first 6 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 6 dc = 15 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 7: 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the first 7 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 7 dc = 17 dc. Turn piece.
ROW 8: 1 ch, 1 dc in each of the first 8 dc, 3 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 8 dc = 19 dc.
Now continue in the round with 2 threads red.
ROUND 9: 1 ch, 1 dc in the last dc on row 8, 1 ch, * 1 dtr in the outermost st on row 4, 1 ch,* repeat from *-* a total of 5 times, 1 dc in ch from the very beg of the heart, 1 ch, * 1 dtr in the outermost on the other side of row 4, 1 ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 5 times, 1 dc in the first dc from row 8.
ROUND 10: 1 ch, 1 dc in the same st in which you crochet 1 dc at the end of previous round, then 1 dc in each of the next 8 dc from row 8, 3 dc in next dc, then 1 dc in each of the next 9 dc and finish with 1 sl st in dc from beg of round.
ROUND 11: Crochet 1 ch, 1 dc in ch from previous round, * 1 dc in dtr, 2 dc in ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 4 times, 1 dc in dtr, 1 dc in ch, 1 sl st in dc, 26 ch, 1 sl st in the same dc, 1 dc in ch, * 1 dc in dtr, 2 dc in ch *, repeat from *-* a total of 4 times, 1 dc in dtr, 1 dc in ch and finish with 1 sl st in dc from beg of round 10.
Cut and fasten thread.
