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 circle piece, then add some hearts to it or leave a message for your loved ones.

Stitches used in this tutorial are so simple and easy, like single crochet stitches, half double crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, and some crochet techniques like increasing.

You can use it as a Valentine’s gift, make romantic garlands, decorations, or magnets for your fridge, surprise a friend or the one you love with a handmade envelope to tuck away a special note or gift.
