All-Purpose Striped Basket

This All-Purpose Striped Basket can be used for so many different things around the house. You could use this free crochet pattern as a toy basket for kids or pets, laundry basket for dirty clothes, or even a picnic basket during the warmer months. The colored stripes are a nice design element that can be customized to suit your own personal color preferences. Fabric lining (with or without fusible webbing) is optional, but it does make it sturdy enough for it to stand up on its own. Another option is to use starch as a stiffener.
