You want to know what a fun, easy, quick project is in the dead heat of summer?
Baskets!
I’ve never published basket patterns before now, and I’ll tell you why. It’s because I did not like making them. I’d made one back in the day (which still graces my dining room), but I didn’t enjoy the process because my hands just ached all the way through. Using crazy thick yarn with an unnaturally tiny hook is a recipe for wrist issues, and so the idea of ever making a basket again was not really an option for me.
Until I decided there had to be a better way!
And once I figured out how to make beautiful baskets without killing my hands, I went a little crazy and ended up designing 4 patterns. I think you’ll love this method — not only does it save you the pain, but it produces professional-grade baskets that are significantly sturdier than any crocheted baskets I’ve seen, and it all comes down to the addition of one thing – plastic canvas! (Seems obvious now, right?)
As usual, my patterns are 100% free on the blog; but if you prefer the ad-free PDF versions, you can grab the All Access Pass, which includes all four of these patterns and every single other pattern in my library!
So, scroll down, click the basket that strikes your fancy, and get ready to make a piece of beautiful decor that will last for years to come.
