No Magic Ring Mini Crochet Heart Applique | Free Pattern & Tutorial
Crochet a mini heart applique without using a magic ring! This is a very quick and simple pattern that you can make in just a few minutes.
This is a pattern that I came up with a few years ago. The tutorial for it is very outdated and I noticed that I still get some comments with questions. So, I decided to make a new one that’s slower and clearer. Hopefully, this written pattern can also help with the clarity!
