A set of 3 storage baskets that are perfect for sorting and storing your bits and bobs. Each is worked in-the-round using a double-ended Tunisian Crochet Hook, and feature colourful and textured stitches. The base of each basket is made first then the sides are created. The largest size has handles for ease of use, and all 3 baskets nest into each other for when they are needing to be stored away.

The smallest size is the perfect size for tools and notions, the medium size is just right for storing away an assortment of yarn, and the largest size is great for keeping all your yarn, tools, pattern and notes together for a project that you are working on.

Photo-tutorials are provided for showing how to make a magic loop and how to work the foundation round.

I used 3 colours of Hoooked Zpagetti, and used up almost the entirety of all 3 spools. You can use any 3 colours you like, and even use up your scraps, as a breakdown is provided of the yardage required for each size for the Forward Pass and Return.
