Square Napkin Basket | Free Crochet Pattern

A beautiful square napkin basket is such a help at family gatherings, and is a delight when it coordinates with your seaside or farmhouse decor. It’s the perfect compliment to the Seaside Reflections Placemats… Table Runner… Mug Rug… & Round Basket, as they all use the same stitches. A change of color and the square napkin basket can easily be made to match a holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving. 

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

 

Crochet this square napkin basket and then make a stiff removable liner

    I really like this napkin basket! I like all you crochet items. So, I’m assuming it’s approximately 4×4? It looks rather large, but sounds small. Regardless I like it and will use it in some fashion.

    All of your baskets are so versatile and besides, who doesn’t need a napkin basket? We all do! I have a metal one that I am thinking this would fit nicely into.

      Thank you, and I agree…we all need a napkin basket. I think your wire basket would be a perfect insert! Great idea!

    I love how the liner looks classy and provides the necessary stability to hold its shape without being flimsy.
