Free crochet heart keychain pattern: a Broken Heart Keychain amigurumi, about 7 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. It is a small red heart with a stitched zigzag crack down the middle, big teary eyes, pink cheeks and a silver loop on top for a key ring. You need about 35 m of yarn: 25 m red, 5 m silver and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 1 hour. Hang it on keys or a bag as a funny break-up or heartbreak gift, or as a tiny tree ornament. You can spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.
