I prefer working with cotton yarn for these because it’s softer and holds the shape of the tiny heart prettier than acrylic yarn. Since I’m using them for many different things, it’s proving to be much more versatile.

After I got a bunch of them done, I managed to make a crochet mini heart headband out of it by I did a simple crochet chain to connect them.

Moreover, I even attach them to my fluffy crochet cowl.

You could also use a length of ribbon to tie them together to create a garland, but if you’re already crocheting, it’s just as easy to make a chain.
