Crowning Touch Crochet Basket
Crowning Touch Crochet Basket
"This pattern is called the Crowning Touch Crochet Basket Pattern because of the scalloped edge, which is very easy to achieve. Make this basket in a variety of colors for your home decor. The photo shows one of the two crochet basket patterns included. This pattern is worked in a circular fashion. The top has a beautiful scalloped edge, which is very easy to create. Using a chunky yarn, this pattern works up in an afternoon. Actually, I made three in fall colors. They are just beautiful throughout the house and also help keep clutter at bay."
NotesWhen you are using your crochet basket; they are reversible. You can achieve a slightly different look depending on which side is showing.
