This fun crochet heart applique is very versatile! The pattern includes the main heart motif instructions, including my alterations for how to turn it into a keychain, zipper pull, wristlet embellishment, bookmark, and wall hanging. I have also included a video tutorial, as there are a few advanced techniques used to make it look more seamless.

I have also included some Valentine gift tags that you are welcome to print off and add to your project for either gifting or to include in your packaging when you sell your finished items at craft fairs.

Supplies needed for the main project (which is the boho keychain):
Any size 4 worsted weight yarn, approx. 20-25 yards of main heart color, and approx. 10-15 yards in accent color.
3.75 mm hook
Scissors, yarn needle, tape measure
Small piece of cardboard 4 inches wide (optional; for making tassel)
2 15 mm wooden beads (optional; see pattern notes)
Small amount of polyfil stuffing
