🌟 Crocheting a Classic Christmas Heart! 🌟
Here's a sneak peek of my crocheted Christmas heart, made from crocheted strips and stiffened to keep its shape using a mix of wood glue and warm water. It’s currently pinned in place while drying, and I'm still fine-tuning the pattern.
I’d love to create a version worked in one continuous piece, but keeping it beginner-friendly is so important for this project! 🎄
I hope you all have a joyful December filled with cozy crochet moments. Share your ideas and inspiration for future crochet projects in the comments – I’d love to hear them! 💬✨
