Making Your Crochet Heart Bag Pattern

Materials Required:

• 4.5-millimetre crochet hook
• 100% Acrylic yarn

Step by step Pattern

The base of the Heart:

1. Start by making a slip knot.
2. Chain eight (ch 8).
3. Double crochet (dc) into the third chain from the hook and the next chain.
4. In the next two chains, insert three double crochets (3 dc) in the same chain, and repeat this once more for a total of two times (3 dc x2).
5. Double crochet into the next chain.
6. In the last chain, insert four double crochets (4 dc).
7. Rotate the piece to work on the opposite side.
8. In the chain space where you just inserted four DCs, add three more double crochets (3 DCs).
9. Double-crochet the next four chains together (DC 4 together).
10. Insert six double crochets in the last chain of the opposite side (6 dc).

Constructing The Heart:

Round 1:

• After creating the base, slip stitch to the first DC to complete the round.

Round 2:

1. Start the round at the same place with a slip stitch.
2. Two half-double crochets in the same place (2 hdc).
3. Half double crochet in the next four stitches (1 hdc x4).
4. Insert three double crochets in the next stitch (3 dc).
5. One half double crochet in the next four stitches (1 hdc).
6. Two half-double crochets in the next two stitches (2 hdc x2).
7. Three half-double crochets in the next two stitches (3 hdc x2).
8. Insert two half-double crochets in one stitch and one single crochet in the next stitch.
9. Then, single crochet two stitches together (sc2tog).
10. Another single crochet is in the next stitch, and then two half-double crochets are in the same stitch.
11. Repeat the last step for the other side.

Continue building the heart by following a similar increase pattern for each round.

Round 3, 4, and so on:

• Repeat the technique of increasing where needed to continue shaping the heart and making it bigger.

Making The Heart Pieces:

1. Work from rounds 1 to 12 for a full-size heart piece.
2. For a smaller heart, do rounds 6 to 9.
3. Make two identical heart pieces.

Making The Side/Strap Piece:

1. Begin with a slip knot.
2. Chain the width of the desired piece using a multiple of your chosen stitches (e.g., ch 3 or ch 4).
3. Use half double crochet or your stitch of choice across the rows until the piece is the desired length (for the strap as well).

Joining Side Pieces:

• At the end of the desired length, join two ends with slip stitches.

Assembly:

1. Attach the strap piece to the heart pieces at the marked locations using slip stitches or your preferred joining method.
2. Ensure you leave an opening at the top for the bag.

Finishing Touches:

• Weave in all the ends, and you can choose to add ribbons or decorations as desired.

Making a Heart Keychain (Optional):

1. Follow a similar process as the heart pieces but on a smaller scale.
2. Add wings or other embellishments.
3. Attach a key ring to the top of the heart keychain using a crocheted chain.
