"I designed the Alex Basket crochet pattern because I’m in love with Home Decor, and truly enjoy finding ways to add punches of crochet into rooms wherever I can!  So, when my friend Stevee mentioned that she needed a pot cover, I knew exactly what I wanted to do!"

"I knew that I wanted these baskets to be built in one piece (no seaming). I initially started with a square base made in the round, like you would build a granny square, but I just wasn’t happy with the way the base puckered. Baskets need a tighter-than-usual hook and yarn combo that simply isn’t compatible with a nice flat worked-in-the-round square. So next, I tried a square worked in rows. Much better! Because of the tightness, the square didn’t lay flat at first, but by the time I finished the basket you never would’ve known."

"Finished, this bag is about 12 inches wide by 12 inches tall (excluding handles) when laid flat. You most definitely can choose other yarns and colors (cotton yarn might actually be a better material choice than acrylic, but acrylic was what I had on hand). You could also make all the mushrooms one color, and not have to worry so much about joining them in the right order."

"I had to get in on some of the fun, so I created this striped ponytail hat crochet pattern. I love that it’s worked in the round and from the top like a traditional crochet hat and that you begin by working around a hair elastic so it can easily fit around your bun and keep its shape."

"This crochet gift card holder will fit the standard sized 3.5″ x 2.5″ rectangular gift card with a small bit of ease to make getting the gift card in and out easier. Gauge will be important to ensuring the best possible fit. It won’t be the end of the world if the gift card holer is a bit bigger than the gift card you’re using but potentially having it turn out smaller could mean you may not be able to get your gift card into it."

This project requires you to be able to create a chain and work in double crochet in the round."

I hope you love and enjoy making this pretty little dishcloth!"
