...Imagine a cute little girl in a dress (or costume) carrying this basket full of small treats🍬
I had a few old balls of bulky weight acrylic yarn in my stash, so I decided to use them to make something.
It started as a little orange pumpkin, but I wasn't satisfied and pulled it apart about halfway through. These days, my small crochet projects tend to end up as baskets, and they did again. I turned that little pumpkin into decorative pom poms on the side of the basket, then also decided to add a handle.
I used fall-themed colors for this project, but you can use other colors for any season. You can crochet this basket for Halloween, Christmas, and even Easter, depending on the color you use. Since the basket has a handle, it would also work great as a cute little gift basket.
