I am glad to welcome you dear masters!

My name is Anna, and I am glad to present you my


pattern.

This pattern is property of Anna Vasilyeva. All rights


reserved. I tried my best to make the description as easy
and understandable as possible. I count on your honesty,
respect for my work and mentioning me as the author
when publishing your work.
Distribution, sale and publication of the pattern (full or
partial) are prohibited.
You can use the toy made according to this pattern at
your own discretion.

In this pattern I used Sport weight/4ply yarn YarnArt


Jeans (50g/160m), but you are welcome to use any other
similar yarn weight and yarn colors.
Note: I crochet very tightly, the size of the finished box may depend on this. Also, the yarn
will determine whether your box can keep its shape. If you have very soft and thin yarn, then
even though the box is two threads, it may not hold its shape and look completely different
from my photos.
I recommend using yarn that has a fairly good twist. A yarn with a composition of 55%
cotton, 45% acrylic (YarnArt Jeans) or another similar composition is ideal.
In the process of crocheting, the pieces of the box must be ironed so that they do not twist
and are even.

Bow Size:
- height 6 cm (2.36’’);
- horizontal width 13.5 cm (5.31’’);
- vertical width 12 cm (4.72’’).

The crocheting is not complicated, the main thing is to carefully follow the description and
the result will surely please you.

The box will be a good gift, both on Valentine's Day and on other holidays. It can be a
wonderful box for storing jewelry or anything else.

Description.
The box consists of two parts: a cover and a bottom.
In turn, the bottom and the cover also consist of two parts of different colors: pink
(inside the box) and dark pink (outside the box).
All pieces are crocheted according to the same description, however, there are a little
more rounds in the bottom on the sides, fewer rounds in the cover.

All pieces must be ironed. Read the description carefully, it will indicate at what point it
needs to be done.
Also note that at the end of crocheting (when your pieces are ready) you will need to
give the bottom and cover the correct heart shape with your hands. Everything will be in
the description. Please read carefully.

Bottom.
Consists of two parts of different colors.

Before connecting both parts, spread the cover and bottom with your hands so that both
hearts are similar in shape.

Turn the box towards us with the upper part of the heart.

You need to find the middle and mark it with a contrasting thread. Look at the next photo.
