Candy Conversation Hearts Keychains for Valentine’s Day

One of my design goals for 2019 is to create a new amigurumi design for each month of the year to add to the2018手编娃娃系列问世。These small, relatively simple designs are fun to make and are an easy way to enjoy a pop of color. Plus, all of them make great keychains, bag charms or small favors for children’s classrooms. January’s design is looking ahead to Valentine’s Day with these Candy Conversation Hearts Keychains.

Making a conversation heart keychain means you’ll learn how to make a heart applique as well, since the construction of the amigurumi is to stitch 2 heart appliques together to create a 3-dimensional object. Of course, this heart applique may be slightly different the others you see online, since this one needs to be tightly worked so that stuffing can’t come out from between the stitches.

关于这个项目最难的部分是的话，这是谈话心脏的精髓刺绣。如果你是在刺绣技术熟练，也许这不是一样为你的问题，但如果你有麻烦绣上其他手编娃娃微笑，绣字增加了一个额外的挑战。我发现，通过这一挑战，以获得最好的办法是去缓慢，温柔地对待自己，不用担心，如果它看起来并不完美。即使是真正的对话心中往往有自己的字母歪或弄脏。下面是关于加入你的信再提一些建议：

• Stick to short and simple phrases, preferably with letters using straight lines.
• Use yarn that is approximately half as thick (in plys) as the yarn you used for the heart itself. Or choose a brightly colored embroidery thread.
• 选择带尖点细针，可容纳您使用的纱线。
• Work your stitches into the middle of the crochet stitches and not into the spaces in between stitches. This will hold each embroidery stitch better.
• While you can work long straight straight stitches for straight letter edges, I find it’s neater to work short stitches, whether for straight lines or curves, to create a more consistent look.
• 使用心脏中心作为指导。四字母词应该对中心两侧2个字母。

There’s no perfect way to embroider the letters on, as it’s not the same as sewing onto a piece of cloth tightened in a hoop, or even into an even field of crochet stitches. Remember that you’re working into an uneven surface, so it might be helpful to hold the heart as taut as possible when sewing the letters on. One last tip – *embroider the letters before stuffing the heart. You’ll want to be able to see the back of your stitches.

一旦你通过刺绣搞定，剩下的就是像任何其他手编娃娃。在连接心脏的下半部您的安全眼睛，缝上之间，略低于眼睛的快速的笑容。这种设计附加的眼睛是类似薄荷糖手编娃娃或者Camera amigurumi。

• 法尔胜关闭，编织在所有的两端，确保安全的魔圈。
• Repeat Rounds 1-5 to make a 2nd heart. Leave a long tail at the end of the 2nd heart for sewing the two sides together.
• On the first heart, embroider a short conversation heart saying. Examples include “U ROCK”, “LOVE U”, “BFF”, and “XOXO”.
• On the second heart, attach safety eyes and embroider a small smile.
• Use a stitch marker to join the 2 hearts together at the top center stitch. Line up the stitches back to where the long tail is at the bottom of the heart. Use the long tail to mattress stitch the two sides of the heart together. When you reach the top 3 stitches of the heart, skip the center stitch on both sides and pull tight to create a small divot at the top of the heart. Continue with the mattress stitch down the other side of the heart, stopping to stuff the heart. Stuff lightly to retain shape. Use mattress stitch to close up the amigurumi, fasten off and weave in ends.
• 使用大型挂毯针球链的钥匙扣开拓在心脏的顶部的小孔，和饲料。
