Give all those little things around your home a prettier place to live.

The Gather Basket is a sturdy, textured crochet basket made for yarn, books, towels, fruit, craft supplies, or anything else that needs a home. The finished basket measures about 8 inches tall with a 22-inch circumference, giving you useful storage without taking over the room.

You’ll build the basket panel by panel, add ribbing around the top, crochet a separate base, then bring it all together for a polished finish.

Skill level: Advanced
Approx. time: 5–6 hours
Finished size: 8 in / 20 cm high
You’ll practice: Front and back loop crochet, textured stitch patterns, seaming, ribbing, working a separate base, and assembly.

It’s practical enough to use every day and pretty enough to leave out where everyone can see it.
