(click for bigger) I finished up my tissue box picnic basket last night. I told you I would! I think it turned out pretty darn good. I didn’t feel like making the cherry because I would have to sew it on and I have no thread to do that with. I have to learn to loosen up a little when I crochet. I tend to make the stitches too tight so I had to add an extra row or two for the bottom of the picnic basket.
(click for bigger) this is a side view so you can see the pattern of the basket. I used black yarn but the light from my lamp makes it look brown. That pattern is done by alternating 2 front post double crochet with 2 back post double crochet. A single double crochet stitch is done at 3 of the corners. The 4th corner is done by joining the row to the top of the chain 3 beginning stitch of each row.
No I didn’t get the pattern from A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.. I got the pattern from Annie’s Attic. I joined the club and get a bunch of patterns each month for roughly $6.00 a month. It’s a pretty good deal. I got 8 patterns in my 1st shipment this month.
