Crocheted Square Basket

 I thought I’d have a try at crocheting a square basket and managed to find a few different 
tutorials on YouTube.

I decided to use one designed by Sabrina Melodieuse which can be found HERE

I had some yarn left over from when I made the set of three baskets recently, which
you can see HERE and HERE

Sabrina’s tutorial was an easy one to follow, her English is excellent.
Here’s how the square basket compares alongside the smaller one of the set of three.

The yarn I used is Yarnspirations  Lily - Sugar’n Cream in the colour Pot Pourri
which I purchased from Amazon.

A Crocheted Set of Baskets

 Following on from my post in January where I made a crocheted basket,
  I have now completed the set of them.
All the details of how they are made, including the pattern and yarn can
be found HERE

I’ve really enjoyed making these, and am pleased to say that there’s still quite a bit of
yarn left on the cone for me to try and make something different.

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.
