This is the “Ombre Mini Handled Basket” crochet pattern. This adorable (and tiny!) basket is the perfect stash busting project! Make one to display your favorite tiny treasures, put a mason jar in for an adorable bud vase, or make a whole set for your highball glasses.

This pattern was created when a customer asked me to make tiny baskets to use as cozies for her highball glasses. She loves an evening cocktail, but her hands would get cold. These make the most adorable cozies (coozies, koozies, however you like to spell them!), and will also fit a regular-mouth mason jar.

Some other fun uses for these baskets:

• Talenti gelato cozy (thanks to fabulous pattern tester @mixed_kreations for coming up with this amazing idea!)

• Q-tip holder in your bathroom

• Jewelry display

• Mason-jar bud vase

• Embroidery thread storage that doubles as a colorful display in your craft room

• Entry table key holder

Difficulty Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate
** I include pro-tips for creating a seamless basket as well as suggestions for basic techniques if you’re not ready to try the more advanced stitches.**
