The pattern does not contain crochet lessons, so you need to have basic crochet skills.

wonderful box for storing jewelry or anything else.

List of Materials.
1. Sport weight/4ply yarn YarnArt Jeans (50g/160m):
- for the box – pink #36, dark pink #42, white #01.
- for letters – white #01, red #90.
50g yarn ball of pink and dark pink colors will be enough, white and red need less.
The indicated materials are my recommendation, a list of what I used to create the box. You
can use any materials you like, but you should understand that changing the materials entails
changing the result.
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.
Crochet the first (inner) part in pink.
