Foxy Stash Basket


This afternoon I finished crocheting this cute little stash basket. The pattern is a free download from Yarnspirations web site. Search for Foxy Stash Basket and it'll come up. 

The pattern calls for Sugar & Cream yarn but I couldn't find the colors I wanted locally so substituted Red Heart Super Saver yarn. The pattern listed finished size as 11" x 12". I suspect that height includes the ears. Mine finished at 10" x 11" including the ears. A size bigger crochet hook would make it a bit bigger. 

This will be a gift but I think that this project would go over well at a bazaar. I wouldn't mind having one myself.  Sounds like some more foxes are yet to be made. 

The basket stands pretty well on its own but a plastic container, pot or can placed inside would better hold what one wants to store in it. Depends on what it gets used for.
