Product Details

This pattern has instructions and photos for making this colorful checkerboard basket using the tapestry method of crochet, sometimes called intarsia. This color work method creates an almost reversible fabric and is perfect for any project where the work will be able to be seen on both sides.

This versatile oval basket is perfect for Easter, Purim, Mothers’ Day, Showers, Weddings, and many occasions.  It makes a great gift basket or a basket to hold a potted plant or an arrangement of flowers.

The deep spring colors were inspired by the beautiful flowers starting to bloom in my South Carolina backyard.  Of course, you don’t have to follow the color scheme shown.  Have fun and create your own color palette for any occasion. 

While listed as intermediate, an advanced beginner with some experience should be able to follow the detailed instructions provided.  If this is your first color work project, a checkerboard pattern is a good way to start.
