 Crochet Storage Basket
A really useful, quick to crochet up storage basket. Using chunky yarn the final basket measures 30 cm (12″ across) so it’s nice and roomy. This pattern is for sale at $3.95 (around £2.50). Just ” target=”_blank”>click here to purchase via paypal. |
A very popular pattern. It’s fairly challenging – especially at the construction stage, but with a bit of patience a beginner shouldn’t have too much trouble with this one. |

This is an incredibly simple and quick pattern to make an extremely useful small flat flower which is great to use for embellishments. |
|
My first every pattern, and not surprisingly, it’s very straightforward! It’s very quick to crochet, and has a very small amount of construction work, so it’s great for quick, last-minute gifts. |
My most popular pattern. You will need to concentrate to get the knack of this one, but once you do you will find making these lovely flowers somewhat addictive. |
A very funky granny square pattern. I can guarantee that you’ll find it really useful. |
Hello I love the frothy flower pattern but cannot see what kind of yarn you used. can you let me know?
Hi there Linda, the yarn I used for the frothy flower is Debbie Bliss’s Cotton Cashmere – it needs a 4mm hook. But you could use any suitable yarn with an appropriate size hook. Hope this is the information you need.
What do you allow people to do with their finished crochet items? Just wondering……
Thanks!
i think all off you stuaff is very good
I’m a complete crochet novice. Any advice on books or patterns to get me started? The ones I’ve looked at so far remind me of Higher maths, a period in my life best forgotten!
I like Stitch and Bitch Crochet – the Happy Hooker (terrible title but there you go!) – but that is written with USA terms which means that it can get a bit confusing if you then buy UK patterns. Altho’ it does help to know UK and USA terms because so many free patterns on the web are in USA terms. I have to say that there’s no substitute for getting someone to show you – there’s some great films on youtube if you don’t have a tame crochet expert to hand!!
Thanks for the advice. I have that book waiting in my Amazon basket at the moment (waiting on Christmas vouchers : ) ) but Ill have a look on you tube too.
Hey,
What about putting your owl into the crochet me calendar? He’s fabulous.
