Crochet Heart Basket

This is but a wee little post.  I couldn't post earlier because these were going to be surprises for my sisters-in-law, and I didn't want to let the secret out before they found them in their Christmas stockings : )  Here is my dear friend, knitting buddy, and volunteer hand model posing with the very first one I made:

I used a Q hook (15 mm) and t-shirt yarn which made for very sturdy baskets but also sore wrists!  There was a nice tutorial that I found online, and the only adjustment I needed to make was to pull each stitch quite tight so as to keep a clear heart shape as I built up the walls.  

Bye for now,
