Looking for a fun and functional way to add color and texture to your home? The Wheat Stitch Nesting Baskets are the perfect solution! This set of four beautifully designed baskets showcases the elegant wheat stitch, creating a unique, eye-catching texture. Made with bulky weight yarn, these baskets have a sturdy, durable fabric that holds its shape while keeping your space stylishly organized. Whether you’re storing craft supplies, toys, or everyday essentials, these baskets bring both charm and practicality to any room.

The basket begins with a circular base, crocheted in the round and set aside. The body is worked flat and then joined to form the basket’s shape. Next, the body is slip-stitched to the base for a seamless connection. Finally, the basket is completed with a top trim and sturdy handles.

A video tutorial is included with the pattern.
