Crochet Christmas pudding!

Even your knitting and crocheting can have a bit of Christmas spirit if you make this cute crochet workbasket to store all your notions in. You could also use the basket as an alternative to a traditional stocking, filling it with little gifts and hanging it at the foot of a child's bed, or you could fill it with wrapped chocolates as a more seasonal alternative to handing around a tin. “By using lighter weight yarn and a smaller hook, you could make this pud any size - even small enough for a Christmas tree decoration,” says designer Brigitte Read.
