Crochet Yarn Basket, with a pocket!

Image
I have been storing all my yarn on a spare shelf in my room, but it tends to spread out . . .  a lot. I needed are more compact way to store it, so I thought a basket would be a great idea! I could have bought one and fixed my problem right away, but why do that when I could buy MORE yarn to clutter my shelf and crochet myself a basket? So I did.  I also crocheted an inside pocket, which I sectioned off for my hooks, scissors, needles and stitch markers (the latter two in their own little containers too so they don't go missing). Now all my crochet things are tidily stored in one space! The basket is 28cm/11inches wide and 18.5cm/7.25inches high. The inner pocket is 20cm/8inches wide and 13 cm/5inches high.  Materials: Yarn: Chunky yarn, approx. 500g/8.8oz or 250m/272yards. I used Hobbi Ribbon yarn, 2 skeins  Hook:  5.5 mm Needle             Abbreviations (US Terms): ch = chain hdc = half double crochet sl st = slip s...
