Crochet home decor is one of my favourite ways to add a cozy touch to any space, which is why making crochet pot covers for all my plants was on my to-do list. This season, I’ve discovered the wonderful crochet bobble stitch, and it has become my new favourite. This stitch is not only distinctive and interesting, but it’s also incredibly sturdy, which makes it perfect for crocheting baskets.
If you’re looking for a way to add a homemade touch to your home, try incorporating crochet bobble stitch baskets into your decor. Not only are these baskets both practical and stylish, but they’re also fun to make and provide a unique touch to any space. Start exploring this delightful stitch and get creating today!
After making several Bobble Trees, I was inspired to make a crochet plant basket pattern for my mini Christmas tree and 6″ poinsettias.
I love decorating my home with poinsettias for the Holiday Season and ended up purchasing an 8″ and 10″ poinsettia as well.
Inevitably I had to make 2 larger bobble stitch crochet plant baskets to accommodate them. I added handles to the baskets to make lifting easier.
These bobble stitch crochet plant baskets make the perfect housewarming or Holiday Gift. They are perfect to use as a basket, or you can cover any of your plant pots. I designed the crochet baskets to fit over a 4, 6, 8 and 10″ pot.
I had a big yellow pot I wanted to cover, and my large bobble stitch crochet basket fit it perfectly.
