Quick to crochet and infinitely useful, the Lyla Baskets have two different variations to choose from—go for a small round basket or a two-tone handled one that can double as a project bag! Both are crocheted in the round from the bottom up in Vernazza, a versatile cotton and linen yarn wrapped in colorful viscose.
