Realistic Heart
"While it may look complicated, this heart is actually very easy to make. It uses only a few basic crochet techniques to create the various shapes that make up the heart, and then some of the veins/arteries are embroidered on at the end. It’s about as accurate to a real human heart as I could get it, following models and images of the heart from different angles. All the steps will be furthered explained in the PDF. "
