Step 1: make a granny square for a pocket
After 3 rows, we will repeat the steps to make the same square for the pocket.
If you want to make the square bigger, add more rows using the same pattern – 3 dc, ch 2 , 3 dc into each of the corners, ch 1 and 3 dc into each of the 2-ch side spaces.

Finish off:

Make 1 ch more, cut the yarn and pull the end out. Pull the yarn to tighten the knot. Weave in the ends using yarn or tapestry needle.
If you want your square to look even neater, I recommend that you block it. You can use anything you have at home, such as a foam mat and some toothpicks.

Making a pocket:

To make the pocket, fold the first square and hand sew it to the heart base.
Advice: when folding a pocket, roll it just a bit off center and try to align the holes of the squares to make the nicest transition between the two.
To sew on the pocket, you can use the same yarn as you made it out of. Tease out one or two strands to have a thinner yarn for sewing it on.
Making a hanger:
With the same color of yarn as the pocket, make a sp st. Insert the hook into the top of the square, make ch 10 and sp st it back. Weave in the ends of yarns.
