Learn how to crochet a beautiful layered heart bag charm with this easy step-by-step free pattern. Perfect for decorating straw bags, totes, and backpacks!
To build this project, you will need medium weight cotton or amigurumi yarn scraps. The combination of blue and white yarn works beautifully. You will also need a 2.0 mm crochet hook, or any size that perfectly matches your yarn thickness and personal tension. For the decorative accents, prepare a few beautiful pearl beads and a soft cotton fringe or tassel to give it that iconic boho look. Finally, you will need a sturdy silver key ring or a lobster clasp to secure the charm, along with a blunt yarn needle for weaving in ends, a bead threader, and sharp scissors.
We begin the project by forming a magic ring and chaining two to establish our foundation. To build the first rounded side of the heart, work three double crochets followed by three half double crochets directly into the ring. To create the sharp point at the bottom, chain one, make one double crochet, and chain one again. Mirror the exact sequence on the other side with three half double crochets and three double crochets, then slip stitch into the center and pull the magic ring tight to close.
To give the heart its distinct layered look, switch cleanly to your contrast yarn color like white. Attach the new yarn and work a series of neat slip stitches all the way around the outer edges of the heart. This simple technique frames the shape perfectly and creates a beautiful, clean finish.
Once your crochet piece is ready, thread your yarn needle to slide on the beautiful pearl beads right above the top center of the heart. Attach the silver key ring securely at the very top. Finally, attach a soft cotton fringe or handmade tassel to the bottom point of the heart to complete the ultimate aesthetic bohemian charm.
