This crochet planter basket pattern is a simple project that can quickly add some style to your home decor. It works up really fast in a size 5 chunky yarn and fits nicely around a standard 6″ pot.

Though I styled this planter basket for Christmas, it would really work during any season. You can use it as a quick dress-up for seasonal items like the tree in the photo, a poinsettia, or mums in the fall. Or, you could use it all year long for your permanent house plants.

The pattern is easy enough to whip up more than one and get all your plants covered, or even use a basket or two for other storage. It is a nice size and stands up well by itself with this thick yarn.
