The  Lemon Framhouse Crochet Basket with a Hard Liner. You can stuff it with crocheted lemons. There is also coordinating Lemon Farmhouse Towel Topper. I think the mini bean stitch looks like little lemons in a row, when you use lemon yellow yarn.

Reviews from Fellow Crocheters

Here’s what others have said about this pattern:

• gis60 (5 stars): “This pattern has very detailed instructions and explains very clearly how to make the stitches. There is even a visual to help you. Very cute item.”
• Sharon (5 stars): “Received pattern instantly. I love the vintage design of the basket. It is so elegant.”
• Oase: “This basket is so pretty. I used all 3 yarns together to create the bottom of the basket, then just used the blue and green to make the lace. Since my basket came out so tall, I folded the upper part of the basket down to where the lace meets the bottom of the basket. Perfect size to add the 3 washcloths and a great baby shower gift.”

Stitch Guide 

CLUSTER = insert hook in st, draw up a loop, 2 loops on hook, YO insert hook in same st, draw up a loop,  4 loops on hook, YO pull through all 4 loops on hook, CLUSTER made

SP = Space  

BLO = Back Loop Only  

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. 

The Cluster stitch is unique, as each row of stitches has a right and left tilt to it. It is easy to use the CH 1  space to execute the cluster, but it will not give you the right, left tilt. The Pic below is showing where to  insert your hook, for the next row of clusters. Pic 1: Notice the arrows are pointing to the “V” where you  insert your hook to execute the cluster stitch. You are executing the cluster directly into the cluster st. 

Pic. 2 shows the cluster stitch that was made, and it will tilt, when you execute the next Cluster stitch.
