This crochet curved basket - with detachable leather handles - would make a great addition to your family room to hold the remotes or on a side table for items you don't want to misplace again. They have been very popular with caravaners as they are not only decorative but purposeful and can be packed away when not needed.
For this basket I've chosen the gorgeous colour Celeste - a bright light blue - and used 5mm braided cotton cord (made in Australia using reclaimed cotton) to crochet the base and sides. It measures 25cm across and is 9 cm tall - a versatile size. The handles are leather and are attached with chicago screws finished in an antique brass look, and yes you can detach the handles if you want to change it up a bit.
Your basket will come packaged using earth friendly materials to help ensure protection during transit and with a care card to help you look after it once you have it in your home. Your basket is washable (as per care card instructions), you will need to remove the handles first and it will need a little reshaping whilst it is drying.
My crochet baskets are a beautiful option for storing all manner of things in your home, caravan, workspace or treasured place, and they make a great gift. They're great as the beginnings of a gift hamper - just fill with a few other treasures for that special person.
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.
Practicality and style all in one - modern crochet bringing handmade and resourcefulness together.
