It’s almost time to decorate for autumn. With the exception of Christmas, fall is my favorite season to decorate for. All the colors, textures, and smells make it a lovely time of year. With this crochet basket, you can have all three. Use the colors that remind you most of the season. Bobbles give it an interesting texture. Fill it with your favorite decorations, pumpkins, gourds, acorns, leaves. Sneak in a small pumpkin scented candle to complete the ambiance.

It’s made with super bulky yarn for added stability. It works up quick and easy, making it an ideal fall home decor project. You can make up several and spread around your home.
