Crochet Moses baskets feel a lot more personal than standard Moses baskets as they are handmade, often from natural cotton yarn which allows for air circulation while your baby sleeps. They also feature practical handles so that you can move the basket, making it great for portability.

The beauty of a crochet Moses basket is that they are completely unique as they are made to order and they can also come in a beautiful array of colours.

The cotton used for crocheting is 9mm thick cord, giving it a more sturdy feel, and it has to be Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, to testify that no harmful chemicals are used to create the cotton cords.
