The hanging basket
I wanted to hang some cool funny nest-like baskets on my daughter’s room, something to bring more joy and originality than having cute frames or pictures.
As usual I dug into Pinterests’ suggestions and got myself a handful of ideas. Got a glimpse of how I could make one, by looking at how the stitches open and close to give the basket the desired size and opening and gave a shot at crocheting one.
The first one got a bit too small but still cute enough to use it, and then I made a much larger one to fit Totoro in it. It looks really nice! But I wish I had done it in red to give a bit more of contrast and simplicity, instead of the messy mix of colours. Well, anyway, it’s done and it looks really good. If I decide to take it away from the room, I can hang it on the balcony wall with a nice vase of flowers in it, and make the red one instead.
Here are some hints on how I made it.
And this is how they look like now! Don’t you agree that it would look nice in red? :)
