Small Hanging Basket

Small Crochet Hanging Basket - Great Stashbuster!

About

Simple, stash busting project to use up your bits of yarn. Great beginner project or “instant gratification” for a seasoned crocheter. WW cotton and H hook is what I used but any yarn will work.

They ring in at about 3-1/2″. Use command hanging strips and you can put em anywhere! I have one hanging on my lamppost which holds a nail file, nail clippers, pencil, pen, highlighter, my “H” crochet hook, a pair of scissors, and a couple safety pins. Whew! Everything I need for planting my butt for a couple hours of crocheting…hehe.
