The Totally Textured Crochet Basket combines three of my favorite hobbies! Crochet, decorating my home, and taking care of my plant babies. With so much time spent at home this year, it’s no surprise to learn that sales of indoor plants are on the rise! Plants, just like crochet, are a form of therapy and have shown to boost your mood, increase relaxation, and attentiveness.
Plants get us away from the screens, and allow us to nurture something that not only filters toxins in the air, but really adds life to your surroundings!
I think it’s only fair that we thank our foliaged friends by making them a cozy little sweater to keep them happy during the winter months. (Not a plant person? Use these cute baskets for storage!).
