Bao, also known as Baozi, is a popular steamed dish from Asia. This Bao Tray and Pin Cushion crochet pattern was inspired by a bao sitting in its steamer, as the dish is often served in a restaurant.

Using this tray for yarn needles, stitch markers, and other craft accessories adds functionality to this no-sew crochet pattern. Combining two crocheted layers to make the bottom and side gives the tray a sturdier feel. I hope you can experience how versatile crochet is while making this piece.
