Breton Baskets crochet pattern - digital download with printed option

£3.00

Breton Baskets are the perfect size to store all sorts of things from yarn to pegs and citrus fruits to small toys.

They are crocheted in the round using waistcoat stitch to create a knitted look with very defined colour-work motifs or stripes.

The pattern comes in three sizes and you can choose from six different motifs to add colour. Three of the motifs are striped and three are seaside themed with waves, chains and anchors.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent. No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage. I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods. I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
