Free Pattern Friday: Hanako Crochet Baskets

Who doesn't love baskets? Crochet up a Hanako Basket this weekend!

The pattern is more a recipe than a pattern and is customizable to any circumference and height you want.

The pattern calls for Hanako, a DK weight cotton/linen blend that is perfect for warm weather crocheting. 

You only need to know how to single crochet so this project is suitable for beginners. To crochet a basket with sturdier sides, work the sides until they are twice as tall as desired and fold to the inside. Add purchased handles (or crochet some handles) and turn a basket into a summer bag. Oh - the possibilities! 

Can't wait to get started?  Snag the pattern here and the yarn here. 

Happy hooking!
