Crochet a cute love letter Amigurumi for your Valentine! Use this love letter to embellish St. Valentine’s Day cards and granny squares, or to make romantic garlands, decorations, or magnets for your fridge.
I first made this crochet love letter to decorate one of the squares of my Valentine’s Day Granny Square collection, but also crocheted one more to hang around the house for Valentine’s Day.
Crocheting the envelope is super easy. You basically only need to make a single crochet square and fold it into an envelope. Then, seal the envelope with a small heart and insert our love message inside!
