Personally, I would love to receive something handmade like this filled with goodies. My baskets are filled with various things around the home, from holding my Beauty essentials, to my crochet hooks. You could use one as a super pretty plant pot, organise the kids toys or keep together all of your baby items in a nursery. Keep reading as I have a bonus video and more inspiration further down.
What Will I Learn?
As part of this blog post, there is a written pattern available you can find the link further down. Please note this isn’t my design, this was originally a collaboration however I have a video tutorial to help guide you step by step. In addition to showing you how crochet the nesting basket step by step, I’ll be walking you through the written pattern, so if you want to improve your pattern reading skills this is perfect for you!
The yarn I used for this project is Lily Sugar ‘n Cream in the shade Potpourri. I love the quality of this yarn, especially the Pink, Purple and Teal flecks of colour. These baskets are created using 2 strands of yarn together, which creates a much sturdier basket.
