This roomy basket is a perfect display piece to hold several projects or ample yarn stash, or a functional bag for a beach day or farmer’s market haul. There is plenty of room for whatever you choose. This bag is crocheted from the bottom up in the round with a band of bold colorwork, a reinforced hem, and sturdy, twisted handles.
