Since Valentine’s Day is just a short time away, I thought it would be nice to do something a little festive (even though I’m not really into V-day this year). I didn’t want to deprive Kaylee of all of the love and hearts so I whipped up this adorable little heart basket for her, fully equipped with her favorite treats (Goldfish of course). You can fill it with candy or treats, add a little card, and you have a cute and easy Valentine for your little Valentine.

What is a magic circle? I’d like to make the little baskets for my grandchildren for Valentine’s day bout do not understand how to start it.
Hi Janet! The magic circle/magic ring/adjustable loop is an alternate way to start crocheting in the round. You can find a great photo tutorial here: http://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2014/11/how-to-make-a-magic-ring.html and a great video tutorial here: http://www.mooglyblog.com/the-magic-circle/
