Cuore portachiavi

https://happyamigurumi.blogspot.com/2016/02/preparations-for-valentines-day-crochet.html 

Materials:

2,5 crochet hook
Yarn: Katia Bamboo, DK/8ply
yarn needle
stuffing

Abbreaviations used:

"magic ring": crochet over an adjustable loop wih 6 single crochet, then pulling on the yarn tail until there is no hole left
"Neat finish"- one method to finish a toy piece in amigurumi. See the photos below.

Sc - single crochet
Inc - Increase
Invdec - invisible decrease

1) 6 sc into magic ring (6)
2) 6 x Inc (12)
3-4) sc all around (12)
fasten off

make another one:


1) 6 sc into magic ring (6)
2) 6 x Inc (12)
3-4) sc all around (12), don´t fasten off, you will join two parts together

Make the joining into next stitch of the end of the first part

You´ll have a new beginning of the row: hide the yarn tail by doing so: do you stitches over the yarn tail, by doing so, you don´t have to hide the yarn afterwards.

1) Make 12 sc on the first part and then 12 sc on the other part of the heart (24): NB! under both loops, there will be a little hole between two parts, we´ll come back later to close it up.

I use a yarn as a stitch marker of a new row.

2) 5 sc, Invdec, 10 sc, Invdec, 5 sc

3) 4 sc, Invdec, 9 sc, Invdec, 5 sc

4) 4 sc, Invdec, 8 sc, Invdec, 4 sc, stuff

5) 4 sc, Invdec, 7 sc, Invdec, 3 sc

6) 3 sc, Invdec, 6 sc, Invdec, 3 sc, from now on, try to stuff after every new row

7) 3 sc, Invdec, 5 sc, Invdec, 2 sc

8) 2 sc, Invdec, 4 sc, Invdec, 2 sc

Two rows before the finishing up:

9) 2 sc, Invdec, 3 sc, Invdec, 1 sc

10) 1 sc, Invdec, 1 sl.st. leave a lengh of yarn for "neat finish" and closing up the hole. For a "neat finish" : pick up all the sc left, one by one with the yarn needle and pull them together to have a neat and proper finish.

And also close up the hole:

Well done, your cute little heart is ready!
