The Modern Nesting Baskets are fun, colorful, and super fun to make. Clean lines and easy stitches are the perfect solution for organizing and all of the little things that seem to make their way everywhere (at least for me!) The basket set includes three sizes (small, medium, and large).
Need a little help? There's a full video tutorial below for each basket too!

Such a cute way to add functional style to your home!
ReplyDeleteThey look so good.
ReplyDeleteI think I will make some myself.
The nesting baskets will make great little gifts! Thank you for all of your patterns and tutorials on YouTube!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how many stitches you should have after each round? I want to be sure I am following what you have and not missing anything.
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you for the amazing patterns and tutorials. I was wondering if you could use any kind of yarn to make these nesting baskets? I am totally addicted to Caron simply soft, but wasn't sure if it would work for these, or just end up flat... Once again thank you for your your time and love you share with us.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the Red Heart Strata Yarn. What do you recommend as a replacement?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful and useful. I'm looking for a really large basket pattern that I can use Joann's new yarn, Big Twist Tubular, skeins are only 40.4 yards but looks like it would make a nice bathroom basket for towels, etc. Do you have a pattern for something like this?
