情人节DIY可爱的贺卡做礼物

You could spend five dollars on a Valentine's Day card for the person you love, or you could take the time to make something that is truly special.

If you know a little basic crochet, the rest of this project is fairly easy. If you don't know how to crochet, this is a fairly easy project for learning, or you could make the center heart from paper (or any other medium you want) and follow just the paper steps in the second half.
情人节到了，你要么花5美元买一张好看的情人节卡片，要么就自己动手做一个特别的咯！这是一份非常详尽的贺卡教程！如果你懂得一点针线活的话那这对你来说简直不在话下——当然，一点针线活不懂的你也可以照样轻松学会！恩，甚至你只借鉴这份教程的一部分都可以！好了，让我们开始吧！

 01 Thread and hook

Use a fairly small hook, such as 0 or 00, and thin string or yarn. It doesn't have to be microscopic, just slender enough to look elegant. Use a hook size that is comfortable for your yarn or string.

我们需要的时候小号的钩钩针和细线。打头的方法是上图所示这样的。

 02 Chain six

Make a slip knot and chain six.
接下来的步骤就简单了：用钩钩针从洞中间穿过勾起长端的线，收紧形成一个结和一个新的环，如此重复6次。

 03 Single crochet five back across the row.

Single crochet back across the row (sc5). Chain one as a turning chain (first row).
翻个面在这6个结上面加一层，这样就形成了第一行。

 04 A total of five rows.

Repeat for a total of five rows of single crochet. Don't forget the turning chain between rows. You should now have a small square of crochet, five stitches wide by five rows high.
按照上面的步骤得到5×5的一个形状的方阵

 05 The first semicircle.

Chain one, turn,and double crochet into the center stitch (the third of five) of the previous row. Repeat this chain one and double crochet five more times, for a total of six sets of (ch1, dc) into the same center stitch. This leaves you with a semicircular shape. Slip stitch into the corner of the original square.
将现有的菱形尖端向上，在斜边的大约3/5的位置用上述的同样的方法编制一个半径3/5边长度的半圆，收于顶端。

 06

Approximate location on the second side.

The second semicircle

Make a second semicircle into the middle of the adjacent side, exactly the same as the first: crochet six sets of (ch1, dc). Work into the center of the next side of the square. Since you are now working into the side of your work, there won't be a specific stitch. Just pick a spot in the middle and work into it.
按照上面的方法编制剩下的另一个半圆，形成对称。

 07 Slip stitch.

Slip stitch back into the corner of the original square to join.
细心的将线尾收于半圆和原先菱形的连接处，确认两部分接合完好。

 08 The basic heart.

Block the shape into a heart. Pull gently on the edges until it's fairly flat and even.
轻轻整理整体形状使它看起来像一个心形~

 09
Add a decorative border, if desired, or stop at the basic heart. One easy border is a picot stitch
接下来为了让这个心形更漂漂，我们来给它镶个边~不过这一步嘛锦上添花，如果实在不想做的话就跳过吧~
1.Single crochet.Work this stitch by doing a single crochet (sc).


2.Chain three.

3.Single crochet back into the same spot.

Single crochet again back into the same spot. Slip stitch or single crochet around the edge to the next place where you want a picot.

4.Picots.

Work the picots in locations so that they complement the heart shape and so that they are in about the same place on both sides.

镶边之后的形状就如上所示啦，恩，更华丽了！

 10 Tie off and sew in the ends.
把剩下的线固定好剪掉多余。
