Dash Basket: A New Crochet Pattern


Reader

I have a new pattern for you today. Ever since I made the Winthrop Basket, I get lots of comments about it being too hard to make. I have been wanting to make another option that uses the same yarn, and size, but easier stitches.

The Dash Basket is the end result of my brain storming. It is a mostly single crochet project with just a little bit of texture that is easy to accomplish. I'm using Lion Brand Rewind yarn for this basket, just like with the Winthrop Basket. I love using this tape yarn for baskets. It makes the baskets indestructible, and easy to clean. I have them all over my house. I have one in the bathroom that keeps all the hair accessories together. I have a few in my yarn cupboard to keep projects together. I will use them as gift bags and of course they make great Easter Baskets!


Where to get this pattern

This pattern will be in my Ravelry Store. As always, if you would like to purchase through another option like Etsy, or love crafts just let me know and I can get a listing up for you.


Some of you might be saying "Hey, I thought a knitting pattern would be next." I hear you. I have just had a lot of bad ideas lately when it comes to knitting. I thought they were great in my head, but when I made the sample, they just didn't work. And I want to make sure I am only putting designs out that are worth making. I promise there is new stuff coming.

Restful Hat In my quest for using up the yarn I have. I decided to use up some mini skeins. I also added a lace weight mohair, and the result was the softest 2 tone hat that I have thoroughly enjoyed wearing this...

Reader It doesn't seem possible that the cold weather is just around the corner. I wanted to get this pattern out to you early so you could have it finished before you really needed it. This is a stranded knit pattern with a chart and instructions to make this beautiful cowl. This time I decided to make it with a DK weight yarn for the extra squish and warmth and I'm so glad that I did. It uses 200 grams of yarn. Unfortunately it uses 110 grams of the background color so you need 3 skeins...
