If you love being organised and want to add warmth, texture and colour into your home then one of my handmade crochet baskets, such as this one with handles, may just be what you are after.

I've carefully crocheted this basket using 5mm braided cotton cord resulting in a soft yet structured basket and added two leather handles allowing for greater functionality.

Perfect for styling a coffee table, bedside or hallway table and holding items such as candles, jewellery, remotes, skincare and small essentials, use your basket to help create a sense of calm and order in your home, or pair it with a couple of small baskets to really complete the look.

Crochet baskets make thoughtful gifts for a housewarming or birthday, or for anyone who appreciates handmade. Perfect for people who love natural textures, slow living and unique one of a kind pieces as each basket carries its own subtle variations.

Details:

Your tray

• is 22cm wide and 8.5cm tall

Handmade is Key

I choose to use braided cotton cord, made using waste from the textile industry, for my crochet baskets and trays. I find it provides structure to my crochet and adds a modern aesthetic to the finished product.

Each basket is individually handmade, this means there will be subtle variations making every piece truely unique.
