Materials You’ll Need

To create this heart-shaped cutie, you only need a few basic materials:

  • Red yarn (for the heart body)
  • Cream or beige yarn (for the arms and legs)
  • Yellow yarn (for the beanie)
  • Crochet hook (size suitable for your yarn, usually 2.0–2.5 mm)
  • Safety eyes or black yarn for embroidery
  • Fiberfill stuffing
  • Yarn needle and scissors
  • Keychain ring and jump ring

You can also add a little bell or a tag with your name or brand (like AmyLiva Handmade) to give it a personal touch.

Step-by-Step Pattern Overview

This is not the full pattern, but here’s a brief overview of the process:

1. 

Crochet the Heart Body

Work two identical heart halves using red yarn. Join them together while stuffing as you go. You’ll use increases and decreases to shape the top curves and the pointed bottom.

2. 

Make the Limbs

Create two short arms and two legs using beige or cream yarn. A few rounds of single crochet with a little stuffing will do the trick.

3. 

Add the Face

Use safety eyes or embroider eyes with black yarn. Add a curved stitched smile to bring life to your little heart.

4. 

Create the Hat

Crochet a small round beanie using yellow yarn. This gives your heart a warm, playful vibe.

5. 

Assemble and Attach

Sew on the arms, legs, and hat securely. Then attach your finished heart to a keyring with a metal jump ring.
