With the holidays getting closer, you can start thinking about what kind of gifts you’ll give to the special people in your life. I don’t know about you guys, but I always love DIYing the gifts I give (and I also love getting DIY gifts from my family and friends too)! Today we have gathered five crochet patterns you can try at home and that will be amazing gifts for any occasion!

This owl basket is really cool and it’s one of the most useful things to crochet. I mean, not only is it a decorative piece, but it’s also an object you can use to put away your stuff! Whether it’s for a home office, for your living room, laundry room, or even the bathroom - it’ll be cool anywhere in your home!
