The video tutorial on how to add the liner to the square Nautical basket is below.

I will walk you through the step by step process of cutting the cardboard and fabric. Then I will show you how easy it is to cover the cardboard and assemble theme into a square liner. The last step is place it inside your squae crocheted basket.


 

A beautiful square napkin basket is such a help at family gatherings.

It’s the perfect compliment to the Nautical 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.

During that event I created an ebook / bundle that includes the Cotton Baby Blue blanket. The blanket by itself is a great selling crochet pattern for me. Being able to purchase this bundle that includes all of the Nautical crochet patterns along with the Baby blanket is a bargain. The bundle can be purchased at RAVELRY or ETSY.

    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.

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