How to assemble the heart garland

1. Arrange Your Hearts: If you made hearts in different colors, arrange them on a flat surface in the order you want them to appear in the garland.
2. Choose a Color for the Cord: Pick a yarn color for the chain that will link the hearts together.
3. Starting Chain: Begin by making chains until you reach the desired length for the first hanging loop. (In this example, 20 chains were used.)
4. Attaching the Hearts: Start with the heart on the right side of your arrangement (if using different colors; otherwise, the order doesn’t matter). Attach the heart by working a single crochet at the top of the heart (in this example, a stitch on the increase was used).
5. Create the Spacing Chain: Chain 8 (or the desired length), then attach the left side of the heart with a single crochet to keep it symmetrical.
6. Continue Linking Hearts: Chain the same number of stitches as in step 5, then add the next heart following the same steps.
7. Finish the Garland: When all hearts are attached, chain the same number as in step 3 to create the second hanging loop.

And that’s it—your crochet heart garland is ready to hang and bring a touch of handmade love to your space!
