I remember when I was a kid I thought it was strange that my mom had so many baskets. How are all these baskets? Why do we need these? Why are the baskets on the walls? On the floor? Everywhere? Although I was a little confused like a kid, now I definitely understand the appeal of a good basket. Actually, I can definitely say that I am something like a women’s basket.
There is a lot of stuff, and baskets are the perfect solution to hide this mess. I also love the texture baskets bring to space! Beautiful natural fibers and shabby details. Sure, most of my knitted baskets are around my house but most of them are small. Today I’m sharing my latest model basket, and this time it’s a nice big crochet basket. The finished basket is about 14 inches in diameter and 14 inches in height, making it ideal for storing extra blankets or stuffed animals in the nursery.
I used a large macrame cord to make a basket of many funny colors so you can change the basket to fit any room in your home. I made my basket in three colors, but you can completely make it in one color. Ready to crochet?
