The Americana Basket Pattern creates a handy little crochet basket that can be used for many things.  It is approximately 4” square by 3.5” high. 
I originally designed it to hold forks and spoons at a Memorial Day or July Fourth picnic, but realized it could be used for many other items.  Place your essential oils, small product supplies, lotions, a plant, tea bags or other small items in the Americana Crochet Basket. Now you have a handcrafted basket and patriotic décor for your table, window sill, counter or end table!
