Water Lily Ombre Crochet Basket with Handles - Medium

Description

This lovely multi-purpose ombre basket with handles is the perfect spot to keep your own yarn from rolling across the floor, display guest washcloths in the bathroom, keep a stack of polaroids on the coffee table, or give your kitten a comfy new nap spot in the sun. So many ways to use this basket! And cats just love curling up in them! The colors remind me of a water lily with its lovely green floating leaf topped by purple petals. One of the really amazing aspects of this basket is that I've discovered a way to eliminate the seam. Almost all crochet baskets have a very obvious diagonal seam, but not this one! It takes much longer to create, but to me, those little details are so important. It sparks so much joy for me to turn this basket around and around, and no seam can be found. The basket ships flat, and is easily reshaped by smoothing with your hands. --->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->---> Size is approximately 9" in diameter and 6.5" tall. The photo with the mug is for scale (mug not included). Made of sturdy 100% acrylic yarn that helps the basket keep its shape. Color monitor representations may vary. I create all of my baskets and other objects in my pet and smoke-free home studio. --->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->--->---> Ready to ship. Shipping to the U.S. is via USPS Priority (2-3 days). International shipping time may vary depending on location. Original pattern by Liz @ crochetincolor.blogspot.com.au
