Red Heart Crochet Kit
There’s a crochet pattern that has gone viral lately. Have you seen the Bear Eyeglass Holder pattern? It inspired me to create one for Valentine’s Day for your little ones. It only takes an hour or two to crochet, so there’s plenty of time to make a couple before Valentine’s Day. They can have so many uses – trinket tray, eyeglass holder, key dish, and more.
