A Crocheted Basket

 I have been enjoying my new hobby of crocheting, especially through the
lockdowns we have been having. It keeps me busy and my mind occupied.

Here is my latest make...

It’s a crocheted set of baskets which I saw on Bella Coco’s blog HERE
There’s a YouTube tutorial HERE which is easy to follow.

Sarah-Jayne’s tutorial follows a free pattern from Yarnspirations
which can be downloaded HERE

I chose to use the same shade yarn as Sarah-Jane which is made by
Yarnspirations and is called Lily - Sugar’n Cream in the colour Pot Pourri 
and made the middle size of the set of three.

It’s 100% cotton and the pattern for the baskets is worked with 2 strands
and a 5mm crochet hook.

I ordered the yarn on Amazon and it arrived in four weeks from the U.S. 

I love the pattern that makes the base.

I needed some practice with the top edging, as it’s a crab stitch which is 

worked in reverse, but after a few re-winds of the video, I got there in the end.

I thought I could use it in my craft room to hold some of my sewing tools...

or maybe use it as a plant pot holder.

There is enough yarn on the cone to make all three size baskets, so
I'll definitely be making more.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
