Krissys Over The Mountain Crochet

Large Square Nesting Basket

This large square basket was super quick to make as you hold two strands of worsted weight yarn while creating the basket. It is the perfect size for gift giving. It is 29.5″ around, 8″ x 7.5″ across the bottom and 4″ high. Pair it up with the small nesting basket to present to someone as a gift, after you have filled it with goodies.

A large square basket with drop over lace for you to make in a quick crochet minute. Perfect for gift giving.

Making toilet paper covers and baskets with a drop over lace edge is fun. My favorite is the Victorian Lace basket and all of the accessories that go with it. I also love the ever fun, Welcome Home Pineapple basket, made out of cotton and uses a mini bean stitch? One more thing, there is another basket “Pretty Pink Lace Toilet Paper Cover” with the same drop over lace, that is perfect for holding toilet paper or tissues, and stuff needed when convalescing from an illness.

This beautiful toilet paper basket can hold a box of tissues or any item that you wish, then gift it to a friend or loved one.

nxt = Next   *  * = Repeat between the stars the number of times stated; 

x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;

in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch to complete stitch or sequence of stitches stated.

      You are so welcome! I had a lot of fun designing the nesting baskets. I am working on adding different drop over lace options. Did you know that you can add a photo here in the comment section? It would be great to have a photo of your basket. 🙂
