Cuoricino (Italian for ‘tiny heart’) is a felted charm that you can knit in one hour! Extremely versatile, you can use it as a bag charm, you can add a key ring to keep all your keys together (perfect as a gift!) or even use it as a Christmas ornament, if you wish! Also, it’s the perfect scrap yarn project. ;)
