Little Crochet Basket – Free Crochet Pattern

A few months ago, I received some gorgeous Jersey Be Good Yarn from Wool and the Gang, along with a few other skeins of their yarns. I started several different projects that I wasn’t fond of and ended up ripping them all out. I wanted to do justice to this beautiful yarn and finally came up with this adorable Little Crochet Basket pattern! The yarn is a t-shirt yarn so it’s super bulky and makes for a very sturdy basket. I am currently using it to hold some smaller skeins of yarn but it can be used around the house as well. I hope you enjoy the pattern! Happy Crocheting!

I also received a complimentary skein of the yarn used in this pattern, from Wool and the Gang, to be used in my design. I was not financially compensated to use this products in my post.
