Product Description
This holiday show some love to our Mother Earth with this plarn heart applique. The word ‘Plarn’ means Plastic Yarn! I have used soft, thin polythene grocery bags for making this heart. However, you can also recycle any soft plastic bags for making plarn out of it.
Plastic can be harmful to the environment. However, I like to see the glass half full rather than half empty. Plastic can also be recycled for creating art and crafts. This project is my initiative into reuse of plastic. I want to inspire others as well to use it for making useful things than just throwing it in the landfills. Let us all help the environment a little at a time.

Plarn Heart Applique Crochet Pattern
Project Overview
The Plarn Heart Applique is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern designed by Mamta Motiyani. This pattern provides instructions for creating decorative heart appliques using plarn (plastic yarn), a sustainable material made from recycled plastic bags. Heart appliques are versatile embellishments that can be attached to various crochet projects, garments, or accessories to add a charming, dimensional detail.
Craft and Technique
This project uses crochet as its primary construction method. Crochet is a fiber craft that uses a single hook to create interlocking loops of yarn or plarn. The technique is ideal for beginners because it is forgiving and allows for easy corrections. The applique format means you will create a finished heart shape separately, which can then be sewn or crocheted onto another project, making it a flexible embellishment option.
Materials and Supplies
- Plarn (Plastic Yarn): The primary material for this project. Plarn is created from recycled plastic bags and offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional yarn while providing durability and unique texture.
- Crochet Hook: Required for working with the plarn. The specific hook size is detailed in the pattern materials section.
- Yarn Weight: Worsted weight yarn or plarn is used, which is a medium-weight fiber suitable for creating defined stitches and clear stitch definition.
Skill Level
This pattern is rated as beginner difficulty, making it an excellent choice for those new to crochet or looking for a quick, manageable project. Beginners will develop foundational crochet skills while creating a practical, decorative element.
Pattern Details
The pattern includes a comprehensive table of contents covering introduction, skill level assessment, complete materials list, suggested yarn options, gauge information, and hook specifications. This structured approach helps crafters prepare adequately before beginning their project.
