Hanging Storage Baskets Crochet Pattern
If you’re like me, organization is key. My problem is that I always have little odds and ends, and nowhere to put them. That’s why these crochet baskets are a lifesaver for me.
These hanging storage baskets hang on the wall so they don’t take up space on your floor.
They’re just big enough for some yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks. You could organize your projects and yarn stash with these. It’s a rounded basket with handle and can be made in any color.
This crochet basket is very minimalist in style.
If you don’t know how to make a basket dont worry. This crochet basket pattern is made up entirely of single crochet.
The berroco comfort yarn used is extra soft. Because it’s an acrylic nylon blend, it has a slight stretch, perfect for storing items in this yarnbasket.
Make a set of these as a housewarming gift. Or, in the spirit of Marie Kondo, get your life organized with a set of your own.
