Step 4: Row 4

Chain 3 (counts as dc), turn.
Skip first stitch. Work 6 dc across.
Chain 2, chain 3 (picot) to create heart peak:

Chain 5, turn.
Chain 4 (counts as first dc), place 6 dc to reach 7 dc total.
Chain 3, skip 2 stitches, place 1 sc in 3rd stitch.

Chain 1, sc in same space.
Work sc evenly across every stitch, placing 2 sc in each chain space.

Chain 1, turn, and work sc into back bump of each chain across.

Repeat strap on opposite side with the same length and join.

Step 11: Finishing

Weave in all loose yarn ends neatly.
