541 Glacial Project Basket - Crochet Pattern for Home in Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky

The swirling layers, shape, and depth of this project basket remind me of the Glacial Potholes here in Shelburne Falls. The Glacial Project Basket from Valley Yarns is crocheted using three strands of Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky held together, which means this project comes together fast. The color changing ombre effect keeps your attention and becomes a subtle flow of tones once felted. Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky is a superbly soft wool and alpaca blend made of a single ply. The pattern is in written form only.
