Abbreviations (US terms)
- Single crochet - sc
- Chain - ch
- Slip stitch - sl st
Notes
- Yarn Options: Although you could use new skeins to make the crochet heart keychain pattern, scrap yarn works well since the hearts are small and require very little yarn.
- Yarn Weight: I used worsted weight yarn for this pattern, but any type of yarn will do! Just keep in mind that if you use size 5 yarn or larger, the size of the heart will also increase, resulting in a larger keychain.
- Size: The crochet heart keychain is no bigger than 2.5 inches.
Instructions
This pattern is made in rows.
- Ch x7.
- Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a sc. Then sc for the rest of the row. (6)
- Ch x1 and turn. Do not work in the turning chain, its just there to help you turn to the next row.
- Row 2-3: Sc in every stitch from the previous row. (6) Then ch x1 and turn.
- Row 4: Sc x3, then ch x1 and turn (3).
- This row is where we start making the second side of the heart, you do not want to go completely across, only half across.
- Row 5-6: Repeat row 4 (3). Fasten off and weave in the end.
- Make another heart, but do not fasten off the yarn on the second heart.
Finishing:
- Crochet the edges together, you want to take the yarn you didn’t fasten off and start where you left off by creating single crochet stitches along the outside of the hearts. Make sure to grab both sides of the heart when you are creating your stitches so you won't have any holes.
- When you get to the top indent of the heart you want to make a sl st.
- When you get to the bottom portion of the heart where the tip is you want to make a sc, ch, then sc in one stitch space.
- Before crocheting the heart closed, stuff very lightly.
- Sl st to the beginning, then fasten off and weave in the ends!
- Add a keyring to one side of the heart by inserting it through a stitch.
- And now you know how to crochet a heart keychain!
