Bedpost Hanging Basket

*Click through to website for free version of this pattern.* I designed this basket to keep my glasses (and phone for those late night, menopause induced bouts of sleeplessness when I simply MUST play one more round of Toy Blast) within easy reach. The basket simply slips over the bedpost to keep all my essentials handy. I've since made others to hang on the stairwell to gather little things that need to be brought upstairs and one for the coat rack for keys and sunglasses. They're the perfect size for all those little bits and pieces that would go missing otherwise. The basket whips up very quickly, in less than an hour so it makes a fast and easy project for anytime!
