Versatile Crochet Basket

Let's face it. We all have a skein or two (or three...or more) of yarn that's sitting in our yarn stash and collecting dust. What can you do with it? If it's super bulky yarn, then you can make the Versatile Crochet Basket. This crochet pattern is easy to make and can be used to store a number of items. Store candy and eggs this Easter in the basket, keep your latest crochet projects all in one place, or even use this basket to stash your library books or favorite magazines. You can likely crochet this basket within an afternoon, making this pattern ideal if you are looking for a last-minute gift idea.
