These nesting baskets are so handy! Keep one by the front door for your keys and pocket change, a couple in the bathroom for soaps and cotton balls, and some on your desk for stationery and crochet notions. Where else can you think of to use them?

The pattern includes instructions for 4, 5, and 6” diameter baskets. You’ll need about 60 (95, 140) yards of the main color and less than 10 yards of the contrast color.

The yarn is held doubled when crocheting these baskets. Not only does this help make the basket stiff and rigid, it also means you can use a large hook and stitch these baskets very quickly!
