These baskets offer the perfect hanging storage for yarn, WIPs, and all sorts of household items.

Crocheted with waistcoat stitch, the fabric is denser than usual to create structure. You don’t have to add the hanging ring, the baskets will stand up on their own, making the perfect project bag or plant pot.

Three sizes and six seaside themed motifs to chose from.
