This round crochet basket features soft sage green, terracotta and cream stripes with a sturdy built-in handle. Firm yet flexible, it is perfect for storing towels, blankets, toys or bathroom essentials.
Description
This medium-sized storage basket is crocheted in a dense, textured stitch that gives it excellent structure. The body is worked in sage green with a terracotta mid-band and a cream top edge that forms a comfortable handle. The round shape stands securely on its own and is ideal for holding folded towels, as shown, or other everyday items. Soft to the touch yet strong enough for regular use, it adds a warm handmade accent to any bathroom, bedroom or living space.
