How to crochet a hanging fruit basket

I have an incredibly fun and functional project to share with you today.

Hanging Baskets make a lovely addition to any home and can be used in so many ways- from holding plants, stationary, bathroom supplies and more! They work up quickly and the only other materials you need is a hook to hang them up, or even a dowel as seen below. These would look great hung up in a kids room as small toy storage and colourful yarn would really make them pop! Durable yarns like cotton or t-shirt yarn would work well here as you want something sturdy to be able to hang heavier items and able to be cleaned. Although these are hanging basket patterns, the finished product could easily be used as a simple basket for any surface or as a pot cover. I hope you enjoy this round up of hanging basket patterns and have fun gifting them or making for yourself!

Each O'Go makes one complete basket. In the tutorial provided, I share advice about changing the base of the basket to regular single crochet instead of the split single crochet as it's harder to see right at the beginning. Once more of the project is done, the split single crochet is easier to accomplish. Split Single Crochet provides a knitted compact look. It's commonly used for fair isle or intarsia concepts in yarn crafts. There's no doubt, it's a beautiful stitch but ensure you give yourself some slack on your mental state if you find it hard, like I do, to get started. Once I am on my way, no problem.

How to crochet a hanging fruit basket

We love the idea of using fruits and vegetables as decorations. We also found the perfect way to display them: in hanging fruit baskets. Use a metal basket and an antique hanging scale like grandma used to have if you want a little bit of rustic beauty in your kitchen. You can use rope and a hook to hang the fruit basket from the ceiling anywhere you want. To make it, you need jute, leather, a metal loop and a hot glue gun. First, start forming a tight jute circle and use the sewing machine for this part. Then cut 3 strips of leather and attach them to the jute circle. Take three long strips of jute, run them through the leather loops and then through the metal loop.
