• With its ocean-deep hue, this raffia sturdy basket with handles can bring a touch of coastal serenity and modern sophistication to your home. Thoughtfully designed in a medium size, it’s the perfect solution for keeping your essentials organized while adding warmth, beauty and timeless comfort to any room.
• Use it to store cosmetics, nursery items, yarn and crochet hooks, craft supplies, cute toys / blocks pieces or even remote controls on your sofa, this basket is both practical and decorative. You may use it in your kitchen for fruit or vegetables storage! ^^
• This PDF tutorial (37 pages) provides detailed written instructions, special stitches and techniques explanations, tips to adjust the size and a lot of photos to guide and inspire you during this amazing crocheting experience for the best, satisfying results.
• There are 2 color variations for this pattern.
• For this project I used Raffia yarn for making the basket and Nylon yarn for final round and embellishment with 3 rounds of surface stitching and a little flower: Nylon 100% -same as Yarn Bee-Scrub-ology.
• Most bulky 5 yarn, Raffia, Nylon, T-shirt yarn or even 2 strands of medium worsted weight yarn held together will work great for this project, but make sure to check your gauge as recommended so that your basket turns out the size you expect.
Happy Crocheting!~
