Crochet Baskets Galore

as I predicted, I was unstoppable when I started making the baskets

one, two, three, ready in no time

a little decoration with left over material

and when they were finished I took pictures, and again I was unstoppable, haha

let's hope you enjoy the colors and sunny weather as much as I do

top down, bottom up, frontal, I personally like every angle of the baskets

but, they were ment for yarn storage

are you ready for more pictures and colors ?

each basket is different

the smallest one in mint green is made of single crochet stitches and has handles on the side

the middle sized one in the light peach color is made of single crochet

but I only picked up half of the stitches, hence the circle pattern that goes around it

the peach one has handles too

the largest one in blue is made of double crochet stitches and has no handles

the baskets are soft and flexible but yet very sturdy and strong

a combination that actually makes them perfect for yarn storage, 

because you can squeeze in quite a lot of yarn and reshape the basket to make it fit

perfect !

all right, one more picture of my happy yarn-cake

so much fun to look at !

if you like to make similar baskets yourself, here are my experiences :

three balls of this super sized yarn are the perfect amount for three baskets

the pattern I posted here is the same I used for these baskets, only in different sized circles and stitches

crocheting with hook size 10 or larger requires muscles

or in my case, let's you discover muscles you didn't know you had

you finish fairly fast, which is great fun if you ask me

but I must admit I am not the most patient girl in this world, haha

wishing you lots of sunshine and great fun this weekend !
