Merge Humps

We join the two humps together and single crochet around as follows:
Round 4: Hold the first hump piece with the last stitch of that round facing you. Make a single crochet into the first stitch of that round, keep the long fastened off yarn and the marker yarn hanging free on the outside of your work, between the joining point of the two humps. We will use this marker yarn as marker. Make 7 more single crochets on the first hump.
Let’s make a single crochet into the next empty stitch on the first hump and continue to work single crochet stitches in every stitch around the second hump. (16 stitches and both pieces are joined together).
There will be a small hole between the 2 humps which you will stitch closed later, we will use the hanging yarn between the two humps for this aim.
Round 5: Sc in all stitches; (16).
Let’s sew the gap between humps by using the hanging yarn from the first hump with a tapestry needle!
Round 6: [Sc, dec] x 5, sc; (11). Let’s start stuffing!

Let’s sew one piece of the sew-on snap fastener on the heart and sew the other piece of the snap fastener on the lock part. Let’s bury the yarn ends in the work.
