Cherry baskets or apple baskets
If you lack smart storage for various little things, take a look at these amazing cherry baskets. You can crochet them by following the detailed instructions below, which can be followed by beginners, such as trained crochets. The baskets are crocheted in Mayflower Ribbon Fabric Yarn, which consists of cotton, polyamide and viscose. The pattern can also be used for apple baskets and that guide can be found under the cherry pattern. The smart baskets can be used in the bathroom, kitchen, hallway or children's room.
