Baskets

This article contains links, but I don't get paid for it! I took the pictures, you may use them, but thanks for mentioning my name. 

I do love little baskets! They are so handy to order your little things, or for a little plant or way not as gift basket?! Ideal with the Holidays coming!   But it is so much more fun, making them on your own. I searched for a long time for the perfect yarn, flexible, but also stable (it must stand nice and firmly), in nice colour of course or with a beautiful design.  Finally I used the yarn ‘Zpagetti’ of Hoooked. It is made of high quality recycled cotton. Ideal! You will find the pattern below. Can’t wait to see yours!
