A crochet hanging basket can add to the charm of your studio or your kid’s nursery all while giving you a little extra storage space for your lightweight items. Use them to store towels, small stuffed toys or even hold plastic bags in your kitchen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since this crochet hanging basket pattern is designed using the plush and bulky Bernat blanket yarn all it takes is one strand to get a sturdy basket. No hassle of holding the strands together and hurting your hands. This is a very quick and easy pattern. When you get tired of working those Afghans this project could be the perfect break. I hope you enjoy the free crochet pattern.
