Handmade Moses Baskets for Newborns

Every basket here is crocheted by hand from certified cotton cord and set on a solid birch rocking stand. It arrives as one finished sleeping place — basket, orthopaedic mattress, stand and covers in a single box — and it ships from our own workshop in Ukraine to the USA, Europe and beyond.

Is a handmade moses basket a real bed, or just a carrier?

Ours is a bed. Inside there is a firm orthopaedic mattress, not a soft pad, and the basket sits on a stand at adult-bed height rather than on the floor. You will also see it called a bassinet, a crib basket or simply a first bed — same object, different words.

What it is not is a travel carrier. It is light enough to move between rooms by the handles, but it is built for sleep at home during the months when a full cot is too big.

Two sizes, and nothing in between

  • Standard 70×40 cm — the straight-from-hospital size, comfortable to around 5–6 months.
  • Comfort 80×40 cm — the same basket with more room, comfortable to around 7–8 months.

The stand is identical for both, and the assembled height is 72 cm — level with an adult mattress, so the basket can stand against your own bed for night feeds. We deliberately make no size between the two: a few weeks of difference is not worth a harder decision.

What comes in the box

Hand-crocheted basket, orthopaedic mattress, birch rocking stand with stoppers, a small horse pendant, gift packaging and textile storage covers. Nothing needs to be bought separately to start using it.

The one thing you choose on your own is bedding: muslin sets are cut to size, and Standard and Comfort take different patterns.

Materials you can check

The cord is Oeko-Tex certified cotton. The stand is solid birch, hand-sanded and left completely unfinished — no lacquer, no paint, so the wood keeps its own colour and smell. The mattress is pressed linen, registered with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine as a medical-purpose product and covered by a state patent; we send the documents on request.

Basket colours are Natural, Sand and Beige — three quiet unbleached shades chosen to sit calmly in a nursery.

Lead time and delivery

Each basket is crocheted to order, so production takes 14 working days. Within Ukraine delivery follows in 1–2 days by Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta or Meest Express, free of charge; international orders ship worldwide, with delivery paid separately. Exchange and return are guaranteed for 14 days. Made in Ukraine, in our own workshop.
