Bring texture and a delicate pop of pastel pink into your home with this handmade crochet basket. I carefully crochet each basket here in Port Stephens, using 5mm braided cotton cord that is made using recycled cotton fibres from textile industry waste; combining sustainability and purposefulness in one.
This versatile basket holds its shape beautifully, holding your keys or jewellery, small household essentials or special trinkets that you don't want to lose. I love styling my baskets on my creating table but you might choose your office desk, in your entryway or on an open shelf to keep your space organised. It's up to you.
Thoughtful and practical, this basket also makes a beautiful gift, ideal for housewarmings, birthdays and would look gorgeous in a room where delicate pinks are the theme. A crochet basket is ideal for anyone who appreciates handcrafted, sustainable pieces with a story behind them.

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.
