Double chain 8 in the third stitch in.

Single stitch in the 6th stitch in (your middle stitch)

Double chain 8 in the third stitch from end 

Slip stitch into last chain on your previous row

Cut off access, tie off and weave in your ends

The Headband:

Depending how wide and how long you need/want it, you can adjust the number of stitches. 

I chained 6, turned, and chained a single stitch in the second in from hook all the way across.

Single stitch in each of the 5, chaining one and turning each time until you reach your desired length. Slip stitch in each stitch WITH BOTH ENDS once you have reached your desired length joining them together, cut off access, tie off and weave in ends. Sew the heart onto the headband. 

*you can also use a double stitch to give it a little more stretch*

Playing around with different size hooks, and varying weight of warn can give different size hearts. Making one with even a half of size bigger can give you the "layered" heart look with the white and pink together demonstrated below.
