Baskets and more baskets! Is there ever any such thing as too many baskets? Well, if you happen to think that’s just unimaginable you now have another fabulous crochet pattern to add to your project list and this one uses macrame cord! How cool is that?! After all there’s no reason to make in-roads into your yarn stash when you can just crochet more baskets to store all that yarn that magically seems to increase all on its own!

Seriously, this is a fabulous basket. It’s not only got handles, but it’s also very roomy, with a diameter and a height of 14 inches it will serve you well for your storage needs. Baskets also make great gifts, too! And if you sell your crafts for profit, you could have a winner on your hands!
