Why You'll Love This Boho Book Nook Hanging Basket Pattern

I absolutely love how this pattern brings together beauty and functionality in such an elegant way! The mini bean stitches create gorgeous texture that catches the light beautifully, while the mesh sections add that perfect boho touch. What I find most satisfying is how the three-piece construction eliminates tedious seaming - you simply work each piece and assemble with dowel rods. The finished piece transforms any wall into a stylish display area that's both practical and eye-catching.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with this pattern by changing up the colors to match different room aesthetics! Try using natural cotton in cream or beige for a minimalist Scandinavian look, or go bold with deep jewel tones like emerald or burgundy for a more dramatic boho vibe. You could even work the pocket in one color and the mesh sections in a contrasting shade for added visual interest.

Another fun variation I enjoy is adjusting the length by adding more pattern repeats - though keep in mind it could lose some strength as you add weight and length. For a more rustic feel, try using a slightly thicker yarn or hemp cord. The texture possibilities are endless when you play with different yarn weights and fibers!

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not checking gauge properly - this can affect how the piece fits around dowel rods ✗ Forgetting to count rows for tube construction - even vs odd rows matter for seaming alignment ✗ Working too tightly on mini bean stitches - they need room to create proper texture definition ✗ Misaligning the slip stitch seams during assembly - always keep seams facing inward for clean finish

FAQs

Can I customize the size of this hanging basket?

Yes! You can foundation single crochet any odd number to fit longer dowel rods, then continue with the pattern as written. If you add stitches to the pocket foundation row, increase the foundation row of the arms by 1-2 stitches as well for support.

What if my gauge is off and the piece doesn't fit around the dowel rod?

Check your gauge after row 2 - the piece should measure 9 inches long. If it's longer, switch to a smaller hook. If it's wider than 9 inches, it may not stay on the dowel rod unless you size up the dowel rod.

Do I need to work around the dowel rod while crocheting?

No, you don't have to work around the dowel rod while crocheting. The tubes are created by joining ends together, then slipped onto rods during final assembly.

Why does the pattern mention even vs odd rows for tube construction?

The number of rows affects which side your unused loops are on for seaming. If you use an even number of rows, work the designated row in front loops only instead of back loops to keep unused loops on the correct side.
