CHUNKY CROCHET BASKETS PATTERN

I really love chunky crochet projects! I came up with the idea to make these chunky baskets when I was searching through my yarn stash! I have sooooo many small yarn balls, all remainders from previous projects! I thought these would look nice and neatly organized in a basket which I could also carry around with me when working!

I made two baskets in two sizes, a smaller measuring 5 inches (13 cm) in diameter and a larger measuring 6.5 inches (17 cm)! What I also liked is that you store the smaller in the larger when not in use! I used bright and vibrant colors for the basket but you could make them in any color you prefer!
