Orange Flower and Chickpea Sewing Studio have put their act together to bring you a really fun project to create this weekend. It's fast, useful and super affordable. The basket is adorable as is,but also could just be waiting to be adorned to fit your decor. The pattern can be modified even by a true beginner (like me) because it is just so simple. You can make it as big or small as you wish. The diaper basket took two me skeins of Sugar'n Cream ( about $3 for two) with a G size hook, but two more are WIP's, a little one for baby socks and another with finer yarn. Karin's basket is crocheted with heavy cotton yarn and an I size hook.
Disclaimer: once you make one, you will be hooked!

Working fine now, thank you so much

Thanks for the pattern. I make my own baskets and never really learned how. Maybe this will help with those wonky areas on some baskets that seem to....bulge out in one direction.

I am in the process of making the basket and absolutely think it is a great and easy project. It will be a wonderful gift for the baby shower this week. THANKS!

I made one of these this weekend. I used a G Hook which made it a good size for the clothespins I wanted to use it for. It turned out really well. :)

That is such a cute basket! I can't wait to make one :D Thanks for sharing the pattern!!

Thanks for the pattern! I made a shorter version and it is now a home for my camera, cell phone, and other small things when I'm home. Really easy! Although I might recommend a smaller hook than I used or a sturdier yarn than ww just to help it stand up a little more. Definitely works and looks nice as is, though!

I really really love this, but has anyone made a picnic basket like this??
Posted by: Micha | June 25, 2009 at 01:39 PM
What a wonderful pattern! Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing it with us. of course, looking at this beautiful little "organizer" or "gift basket" I now wonder if a square or rectangular one could be made to look just as lovely? I am not a designer, just a dreamer (and a crocheter of course!). Thanks again, bless your heart!

Every man's work, whether it be literature of music of pictures or architecture of anything else, is always a portrait of himself.Do you understand?

I love the concept! It's simple and cute. The color can match almost every design and color that I can think of. The accents of the basket are also refreshing to the eyes.
