Lace Spa Basket






This spa basket from La Maison Bleue has been circulating on Pinterest for awhile now, but I've never seen a pattern for it.  I think it's really lovely and it's actually not that hard to make.  Here is my rendition.

La Maison Bleue

Rows 3 to 16:  Repeat  Row 2.

Sides of Basket

Rows 42 to 48: Repeat row 2. Fasten off.


Sew up the sides of the basket.  Weave in ends.

Row 1: Ch 13, hdc in back bum of 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. (11 hdcs)
Row 2: Ch 2, hdc in same st and in each st across. (11 hdcs)
Rows 3 to 11: Repeat row 2.

Row 19:  Attach yarn in BL of Row 12. Ch 2, hdc in BLO of same st, hdc in BLO of each st to end (11 BLO hdcs)

This is what one insert look like


Middle

Row 2: Ch 2, hdc in same st and in each st across. (11 hdcs)
Rows 3 to 6: Repeat row 2.

Sew middle onto one insert in the middle between the FLO and BLO rows.


Sew the second insert on the the middle piece, in between the FLO and BLO rows.


Use contrasting yarn to mark where you are going to sew down the insert.



Sew the insert onto the sides of the basket, then remove the contrasting thread and sew the insert down to the bottom of the basket.







Basket Edging

Rnd 1: Attach yarn in one corner of the basket.  *Ch 4, sk 2 sts, sl st in next st* repeat until you have gone all the way around the edge of the basket.

  9. I also am having issues printing. I do not need all the pictures and for some reason the green background is not agreeing with my printer. Could you possibly PDF link it here? Or email me ? I am sure you get a lot of personal requests, so I understand if you can't, but here is my email address in case you have the time. DblSouthernGirl@AOL.com Thank you. Cheryl

  15. Pam, it is so good to have a pattern from you. This basket is absolutely lovely. I am going to make it for my own bathroom. I still remember your Harley Davidson Blanket. I learned so much when I was doing that pattern and my son-in-law loves it. He won't use it only keeps it on display. I'll take that.

    Have you done or come across a complete bath set that would go well with this? As in, toilet covers, rugs, tissue covers and toilet paper holders?
    thanks in advance :)

    هناك احتمال محدود للغاية لأن يفكر معظمنا في الحصول على عازل للسقف ما لم يحدث خطأ ما يجبرنا على إعادة التفكير في قرارنا. سيكون وجود عاصفة بَرَد أو هطول أمطار غزيرة أو إعصار صغير ينسف السطح هو السبب الوحيد الذي

    يدفعنا إلى تثبيت تركيبات السقف بدلاً من ديكور المنزل أو الإكسسوارات وإعادة تزيين المنزل.
    شركة عزل اسطح بالرياض
    من المؤكد أنه لا يضيف قيمة جمالية أو يمثل بيانًا فاخرًا ولكنه إضافة عملية وضرورية جدًا للعيش الكريم. إن وجود عازل للسقف يحمي منزلك بأكثر من طريقة ويجعله أيضًا عازلًا للصوت وأكثر مقاومة للتقلبات الخارجية في درجات الحرارة.

    الأنواع الأكثر شيوعًا لعزل الأسقف مصنوعة من الألياف الزجاجية.

    معظم عوازل الأسقف مصنوعة من الألياف الزجاجية الموضوعة بين العوارض الخشبية وتسمح بالاحتفاظ بالدفء أثناء فصل الشتاء البارد داخل المنزل والحفاظ عليه باردًا خلال فصل الصيف الحار. عادة ما يختلف سمك وكثافة الألياف حسب

    الشركة المصنعة ويعتمد سعر الألياف الزجاجية على هاتين الخاصيتين.

    يشكل عازل الألياف الزجاجية حاجزًا أمام الحرارة التي تعمل على سطح منزلك أو تمنع تسرب مياه الأمطار إلى داخل منزلك عن طريق حصر نفسها بين العوارض الخشبية. تحدد سماكة وكثافة مادة الألياف المستخدمة تكلفة العزل وكذلك

    فعاليته. يحمي العزل الجيد للأسقف منزلك ويجعله منيعًا للآثار الضارة للأمطار والعواصف الرعدية ويمنع البلاط المكسور من عواصف البرد.
