Gauge not important, but use a smaller needle than the yarn usually calls for to ensure a tight knit!

With a few more rounds and some other small changes, this is a slightly more involved version of my Nearly No-Sew Heart pattern. Knit in the round, on magic loop, it is easily knit 2-at-a-time. You can see a few notes on that in my blog post here.
