The pattern shows how to start with a small loop of yarn and work in continuous rounds so the heart slowly grows into its familiar form, making the process feel steady and even.
As you add each row, the shape becomes more defined, and you can see instantly how the curves at the top and the slight point at the bottom take shape.
The tutorial stays relaxed and clear, so you don’t have to worry about complicated steps — it’s mostly basic stitches that connect smoothly as you go.
By the end, you have a tiny handmade piece that’s light yet sturdy enough to tag onto something you use daily. Finishing it gives a real sense of satisfaction as the simple loops of yarn turn into something charming and practical all at once.
Materials
Yarn: Chenille (Velvet) yarn. In the final product, red is used for the Valentine's theme, though a beige color is used for demonstration to make the stitches clearer.
Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook.
Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill (synthetic cotton).
Hardware: A metal keychain ring and a decorative ribbon for the finishing touch.
Tools: Scissors and a tapestry needle.
Special Features
Velvet Texture: The use of chenille yarn gives the heart a luxury, high-end feel that is soft to the touch.
Dual-Part Construction: The heart begins as two separate "domes" that are joined together to form the lobes of the heart.
Seamless Join: The tutorial shows how to transition from individual pieces to a single body without bulky seams.
Level of Difficulty
Beginner. The pattern relies on basic amigurumi techniques like the magic ring, single crochet (sc), increases (V), and decreases (A). The most technical part is the joining of the two lobes, which is explained simply.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In this tutorial, Tutor demonstrates how to make a charming Amigurumi Heart Keychain. This project is specifically highlighted as an ideal handmade gift for Valentine's Day, featuring a plush, soft texture and a classic heart shape that is quick to assemble.
Tutor’s Suggestions
Visibility: Velvet yarn can be tricky to see. The tutor suggests feeling for the stitches if they are hard to see visually, or practicing with standard yarn first.
Gift Customization: Add a small ribbon or bow to the top of the heart to make it look like a professional store-bought gift.
Uses
Valentine's Gifts: A sweet, handmade token for a partner or friend.
Bag Charm: A soft accessory for backpacks or purses.
Conclusion
The Velvet Heart Keychain is a satisfyingly fast project that produces a professional-looking result with very few materials. Its rounded, symmetrical shape makes it a classic piece of amigurumi that is as fun to give as it is to make.
Tip: When joining the two domes, use the yarn tail from the first dome to sew up any tiny hole that might appear at the "V" junction between the lobes. This ensures the stuffing doesn't peek through the center of the heart.
