Difficulty: Beginner / Easy

Make this cute soft basket for gifts, toy storage, Easter baskets for babies, toddlers and older kids too. Keep all kinds of blocks and small building projects in one place and for easy portability. Great as a small toy tote and even as a cheery planter basket for sitting on a table or hanging. It’s so simple and easy to whip up with single crochet and half double crochet.

Try making different faces with different color eyes and facial features. You could customize each basket for each person you give it to. Try the basket in different colors too. Or as a favorite character. Add some hair for even a more detailed basket. The customization is almost endless. I know you will get a lot of use out of this basket.

Plus, it also folds neatly when not in use and can also be hung.

Use as a party centerpiece or as a re-usable gift basket.
