Here is a quick review of how the tutor crocheted this heart keychain with beads:
- Creating the Heart Shape: You will start by crocheting two identical halves for the heart whose pattern will be provided by the tutor. Join them by stitching 6 sc from each half. Continue crocheting around both parts as if they were a single piece, working evenly into each stitch.
- Shaping and Closing: Work in rounds, including decreases to give the heart its final shape. Alternate between rounds of single crochets and rounds with decreases. Once the shape is near completion, stuff the heart with fiberfill and close the top using slip stitches.
