Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends.

Optional: Adding a Keychain Attach the Keychain Ring: If you're making a keychain, attach the keychain ring to the top of the heart using the yarn tail. Secure it tightly by making a few knots and weaving in the ends. Tips: Color Changes: For a more colorful heart, you can change yarn colors at different rounds.
