This Simple Knit Tray Will Have You Thinking Spring

, by . 1 Comment

knit a tray in super bulky yarnI love having knit things in my home where I can use them all the time. It’s a reminder that what I do is useful, for one thing, but it also lets people know when they come to my home (if they didn’t already know) that making and using homemade things is important to me.

I don’t have any of the brilliantly colored Isaac Mizrahi yarn that Made by ChrissieD used for her Knitted Tray (alas, the nearest Michael’s is an hour away), but I think I may need one of these trays, anyway.

It uses exactly one skein of yarn (which is only 79 yards, so I’m sure I’ve got some super bulky in my stash that would work, and you probably do, too) and its worked in a square and for shallow rectangles for the sides, so it’s a super simple and quick knit, too.

Do use use knitting (or crochet, or sewing) to make baskets, trays or other storage vessels in your home? I’d love to hear about them!
