Assembly & finishing
Join and shape the lobes
After the joined rim is complete, use Lobe A’s long tail to tack the two facing inner sidewalls together with three small whipstitches near the cleft. Keep both open rims clear and do not pull the seam so tightly that the lobes flatten. Weave in the remaining Lobe A tail.
Stuff and close the heart
At the Heart body · Rnd 8 checkpoint, add small amounts of stuffing through the lower opening, distributing it into both lobes and the tapered body. Complete Heart body · Rnd 9, then draw the tail through the four remaining front loops and pull the opening closed. Weave the tail securely into the body.
Attach the loop and key ring
Fold the 12-stitch strip in half to make a loop. Place its two ends side by side at the cleft between the lobes, with the loop projecting above the heart. Use the long tail to sew both ends firmly to the body over several stitches, passing through the body fabric more than once. Weave in the tail. Thread the split key ring through the crocheted loop.
Care & finishing
Care
Spot clean the crocheted heart gently and let it air dry fully. Avoid soaking the attached metal key ring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the finished size measured?
No. Approximately 4 cm excluding the loop is an unmeasured design target. The actual size depends on yarn, hook, tension, and stuffing, and this draft has not been physically tested.
Can I use another yarn color?
Yes. Pink is an authored color choice for this draft; another color can be used without changing the stitch counts.
Does this pattern require sewing?
Yes. Tack the two lobes together near the cleft and sew both ends of the hanging loop securely to the heart.
How much yarn and stuffing will I need?
The amounts have not been measured. The design uses a small amount of DK yarn for two lobes, the body, and the loop, plus a small amount of polyester fiberfill.
