I created this basket after being inspired by an Etsy search for car trash bags. This is the first time I’ve written a pattern. If you find any errors or have any questions, please let me know.

The basket is crocheted in the round starting with a magic ring. The pattern uses single crochet, half double crochet and reverse single crochet stitches. The pattern expects the user to have a basic understanding of increasing a circle.

The pattern uses 18 gauge wire to help firm up the basket edge and form the handle. Cardboard is used to add structure to the basket and a place to wrap a plastic bag over.
