Crocheted Valentine's Box

I can't believe I didn't blog about this!  A Pinterest project that is not a recipe! :)

I had a lot of fun making this Valentine's Chocolate Box.  It was a pretty simple pattern to follow and it was fun making the chocolates unique.  I made it for Montessori work for the toddlers to celebrate Valentine's day.  They enjoyed practicing in and out with the pieces and since it was crocheted we didn't have to worry about it being put in mouths or ripped.  Since I wanted it to be washable, I didn't put in the cardboard.  I also made the lid a single layer.

Original Pin     Pattern From: Fave Crafts

I thought there needed to be an oval chocolate so I made a pattern for one.  I've never written a pattern like this before.  I wrote it while making the first oval then followed it to make the second and it worked out.  Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture but you can see it in the box.
