- Synthetic fiber for filling
- Keychain ring
- Tapestry needle
Crochet Pattern:
Strap for Keychain Ring
Start:
- Make a slip knot.
Chains:
- Crochet 5 chains.
Turning:
- Turn the work, insert the needle into the first loop from behind and make a slip stitch.
Finish:
- Make a chain, then cut the thread leaving a tail. Use a needle to neaten the ends.
Heart Base:
Magic Ring:
- Create a magic ring.
Row 1:
- Make 6 single crochets inside the magic ring, then close the ring.
Row 2:
- In each stitch, make 2 single crochets (doubling each stitch).
For Row 3:
- Single crochet in the first stitch, two single crochets (increase) in the next stitch. Repeat around.
Row 4:
- One single crochet in the next two stitches, then an increase. Repeat around.
Row 5 & 6:
- Make 24 double crochets in each row, placing a marker in the first stitch.
Merging Half Circles:
- Repeat the steps to create another half, but do not cut the yarn. Begin to join the two pieces by aligning stitches and crocheting through both layers to close the heart shape with 21 double crochets across.
Finishing the Shape:
Rows 8 & 9:
- Continue with 42 double crochets each, marking the beginning of each row.
Shape Adjustments:
- Continue decreasing and managing stitches to taper the heart's bottom until closed.
Fill:
- Add synthetic fiber to fill the heart.
Final Decrease and Close:
- Use the tapestry needle and remaining yarn tail to weave through the last stitches and pull tightly to close.
Attaching the Keychain:
Attach the Strap:
- Insert the earlier prepared strap into the designated place near the top of the heart and secure it firmly.
Finishing Touches:
- Use excess thread to make any necessary stitch adjustments, ensuring the filling is in place and the keychain loop is secure.
Final Inspection:
- Ensure there are no loose threads or holes.
- Optional: Decorate or add additional elements as desired.
