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.
