The size of my moneybox is about 9.5 x 9 cm. You can draw a heart from the screen using my stencil. We need two such blanks. Use an awl or large needle to punch holes. Leaving some gap intact. See the photo.
I crocheted with alize simli yarn in two strands. I got 78 sc around the perimeter of the workpiece.
1. ch, 78 sc, turn
2. into the back loop 78 sc, ch, turn
3 – 6. 78 sc, ch, turn
7. into the front loop 78 sc, ch, turn
8. 78 sc together with the second plastic part
Now we will make a strip on the remaining empty part. On the edge we do 7 sc. See the photo.
