Level of Difficulty

Beginner to Intermediate. The pattern uses basic crochet techniques such as single crochet, magic ring, chain stitches, and slip stitches. Some features, like invisible decreases and assembling the parts, may require careful attention but are manageable with patience.

Tutor's Suggestions

• Magic Ring Technique: Wrap yarn securely and pull tightly to close the magic ring for a neat start.
• Consistent Tension: Keep tension even while crocheting to avoid deforming the heart.
• Color Changes: Change yarn at the end of stitches to maintain clean transitions.
• Frequent Stuffing: Add stuffing gradually as the heart takes shape to avoid missing small openings.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create the First Heart Half

1. Use one color of yarn to make a magic ring.
   • Wrap the yarn around two fingers to create an "X."
   • Insert your crochet hook under the bottom strand, pull up the top strand, and twist to form the ring.
2. Crochet 10 single crochets into the magic ring. Pull the tail to close the ring tightly.

3. For the second row, increase stitches by placing 2 single crochets into each of the 10 stitches (total: 20 stitches).
4. For the next 4 rows, crochet 20 single crochets around without increasing.

Make the Second Heart Half

1. Repeat the same process with the second color of yarn to create the second heart half.

Join the Two Halves

1. Hold both hearts together. Insert your hook into one stitch of each half, pull the yarn through, and crochet them together.

2. Continue crocheting stitches around both halves until they form one unit (total: 40 stitches). Make sure to alternate colors while joining.

Shape the Heart

1. Work around both halves, gradually reducing stitches to shape the top curve of the heart:
   • First Row: 2 single crochets, 1 invisible decrease, and then 12 single crochets. Repeat for the opposite side.
   • Second Row: Continue the pattern of 2 single crochets, decreases, and fewer single crochets.
   • Gradually reduce the number of single crochets for each row until the hole at the top closes.

 Add Details

1. Before fully closing the heart:
   • Insert Safety Eyes: Push them through your desired locations and secure them with backing.
   • Add Stuffing: Firmly fill the heart to give it shape.
2. Close the top of the heart by decreasing stitches until the opening is sealed. Use a yarn needle to weave in loose ends.

Make and Attach Arms

1. To create the arms:
   • Chain 13 stitches with one yarn color.
   • In the second chain from the hook, slip stitch. Chain 2, slip stitch into the second chain. Repeat until forming 3 "fingers."
   • Slip stitch back to the base and continue slip-stitching along the chain to finish the arm.
2. Repeat with the other color to make the second arm.
3. Sew the arms onto the hearts. Position one arm from each heart to appear as if they are hugging each other.

Add the Keyring

1. Pull a yarn through the center top of the heart to attach the keyring.
2. Create a chain loop with yarn at the top, secure it, and attach your keyring or back clip for the perfect finish.
