Super Sturdy Crochet Basket with Handles
"The Super Sturdy Crochet Basket with Handles is a free crochet pattern that will stand up all on its own! With a hard base, thick yarn, and convenient handles, you’ll want to make one for each room of the home - or as packaging for your next special gift! This free chunky crochet basket pattern is made with Bernat Maker Big. This jumbo yarn has a great feel and combined with a smaller hook, it creates a very stiff fabric! I got this basket base from Hooked For Life. There they have both wooden and aluminum bases to choose from! And while I left mine plain, they are paintable for a custom look too. I think you could great really creative with Mod Podge on these too! However, instructions are included for a crocheted base if preferred."
