Crochet Basket

Recently I have been noticing that there have been some crochet containers and boxes popping up in the shops. For example these, these or these, which are all a bit boring and quite expensive. So when I have a gap in my new bookcase to fill, and could do with some kind of basket to put my current project in, what more can I do but make my own basket?!

So I went to my inspiration finder (Pinterest) and found a gorgeous basket pattern. I love the colours with the ombre effect! But I decided to go for a simple black and white colour scheme. I used Patons Fab Big yarns and size 10 crochet hook for my basket. It is brilliant! I am hooked and I am going to make lots of them, maybe even a big one to put me in! Woo!





What would you keep in your basket? X

  1. Looks fab Zoe - great to hook something stylish to fit a space and fulfill a purpose!
    Think I would keep my current project in one too!
    There are loads of knitted and crocheted home items around...handmade to your own specifications is much cooler though!

    1. Thankyou very much, I am already making some more. I have such great comments from friends and family visiting my home, saying that I fill it nicely. That is because I do make my own things mostly! Hope you enjoy making your own! x
