Crocheted baskets are a great addition to your home décor! Designer Corrina Ferguson has created a beautiful set of stacking baskets, that you can make in any color to match your style. With simple stitches and color changes, these accessories are easy to make and are adjustable to make in a size that works for you.

These baskets can be made in any yarn you prefer, just adjust the hook size to match the yarn (consult the yarn label for hook size), if you use thinner yarn your baskets will be smaller, unless you increase the size of the basket base – which will require more yarn.
