Valentine's Day ideas + 1M views

Hi, I'm sure you already have my Valentine's Day heart mug rug pattern, and today I'm here to share my other ideas with you! Later in the email you will find two Valentine's Day things that can be done very quickly and then I will show you something cool with a mug rug as the main character. You may have already seen some of my ideas on my reels. But now I'm sending you everything collected in one place! 💝 

I also wanted to tell you that the roll with my viral “hot pot trivet” hit 1 million views yesterday. I am extremely grateful and happy that you want to share your crochet journey with me. All I can say is thank you for your support. HUGE THANK YOU! 💗 

To celebrate this million of views, I have a 15% discount on my both crochet patterns for you. If you don't have one yet and are considering it, now is the perfect time. Use code CELEBRATE1M at the checkout of my etsy shop. Valid until 11th February.

Without further ado, here are my ideas for quick Valentine's Day gifts or decorations for your home:

1. Easy Valentine's Day keychain ❤️ (But hearts are great not only on Valentine's Day!)
You can watch a video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C27A2jmLFSh/

You will need: some cord or yarn and a key ring clasp, crochet hook, scissors and plastic needle.

I used a 5mm braided cotton cord and a 10mm crochet hook to make my keychain. The heart is 9 cm at its widest point. You can also make it using 3mm braided cotton cord or 3 strands of DK yarn and a 6.5mm or 7mm crochet hook. Then the heart will be about 6 cm wide. Or just try with what you have at home - e.g. chunky yarn will be great!

 And here we go (US terms):
- Start with the magic ring and chain 2
- Into the magic ring: 3x treble crochet, 3x double crochet, 1x treble crochet, 3x double crochet, 3x treble crochet
- Chain 2, slip stitch into the magic ring
- Tighten the magic ring
- cut the cord and tie both ends together
- pull the tails through the middle
- attach the key ring clasp,
- wave in ends and cut tails

And Ta-dah! It's ready!

2. Valentine's Day wall hanging decor 💟 
You can watch a video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C3Agpb0tiiw/

You will need: some cord in two colors, small wooden dowel (or you can do without), crochet hook and scissors.

And here is what to do (US terms):
- Make a classic granny square, make single crochets in a different color or leave it as is
- Attach a dowel - wrap the cord around it, passing it through the top of the granny square double crochets (or single crochets) and make a hanger
- Add pieces of cord at the bottom (or not)
- Make and add a heart from a keychain tutorial

And Ta-dah! It's ready!

3. Make wall hanging decor with heart mug rug. Use the wooden dowel or not. I don't think I need to say more 🥰 

If you make something based on my inspirations, be sure to tell me about it! If you post it on Instagram - tag me @igacrochet or tag #igacrochet

Happy crocheting 😊
