Basket with curly tassels. Easy crochet tutorial pattern instant download -- Olga Andrew Designs Pattern 092.

This is a step-by-step tutorial pattern for a hand crocheted basket with curly tassels – an excellent gift for any occasion for your mum, grandma, sister or friend, a beautiful home accessory and could be very useful for storing and organising small items in the home.

The pattern can be made up with any yarn. The instructions have been tested on several types of yarn and thread. If you use a different yarn brand or type, use an average hook size between the smallest and largest on the yarn label. Variations and experimentations are unlimited!

The pattern includes detailed photos with instructions how to make it -- useful for beginners.
This pattern uses only basic stitches, so beginners should have no problem with it. It is written in English using Standard US crochet terminology (with UK crochet terminology if necessary).

Skill level: easy (you only need basic crochet skills).

Materials you will need:
1) crochet yarn (I used Premium Acrylic DK yarn): about 90 g for basket (chocolate-brown) and about 20 g for fringe (beige);
2) crochet hooks (I used hook size 7 mm and 5 mm);
3) optional: beads (I used 35 medium sized wooden beads with wide hole for decorating the fringe), hook size about 1.5 mm for picking up the beads.

The approximate diameter of the crocheted basket is about 12.5 cm (about 4.9 inches). The height is about 9.5 cm (about 3.7 inches).
The size of basket may vary depending on the type of yarn, hook size and how tightly you crochet.
