This was the first crochet project I've done, and I'm so happy with it! It took me about a month because I'm a slow crocheter and I had to learn many new stitches, but it was so worth it. I actually did it all with a double crochet instead of single because I find that stitch easier, and it worked out great. I gave it to my best friend for valentines day, and she loved it! Thank you so much for this tutorial ❤

[@eq3638]

This was my first crochet project and it turned out really well! Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial. Here are some tips for others watching: 1. On the last step completing the envelope, don’t slip stitch it too tight as the book won’t fit nicely after. To help with this I left the book inside as a guide. 2. I wanted to have a latch to hold the flap close so I attached the heart onto the centre of the envelope (not the flap). When making the flap, I stopped a few rows before making the tip. When slip stitching, I did a chain where the tip would’ve been and connected to the other side to form a loop. This technique was shown in her other video “How to crochet a pencil case/pouch of any size” Thanks again for the awesome tutorial!
