This catchall crochet basket is sure to add a sense of whimsy to your home. Worked in Lily Sugar’n Cream, the body is crocheted holding 2 strands together as one to create sturdy sides with colorful contrast trim and integrated handles. Each appliqué is made separately and sewn together in finishing. Practice single crochet, half double crochet, appliqués, sewing, and more! Add as many toadstools as you like for extra cottage core charm.
