Hey sparkles

I wanted to show you my WIP basket I made last week. It was surprisingly quick and easy to make using a free pattern I found on Pinterest.

I decided to give mine extra rigidity by crocheting in a thin washing line cable which I must say has worked a treat!

I worked with 4 different colour strands of yarn and an 8mm crochet hook, and most of the basket was done using the half double crochet stitch. Four strands was a bit fiddly at first but I soon got the hang of it and was wizzing through.

We are currently plastering and decorating our new living room and the colour theme is purple, so this is going to be perfect for sitting by the fireplace with my WIP and crocheting away a cosy sunday afternoon.

Have you made a crochet basket before? I would love to see your photos!
