The Design

“Small handmade gifts make big impressions.”

A gift that's crocheted? So meaningful in the eyes of your host or hostess. It looks like you went to so much trouble! Here's an easy, relatively quick gift idea using a quintessential cross-season yarn, allhemp6. It's from Hemp for Knitting—but for crochet projects that need structure, like our Crocheted Baskets, it's perfect!
