I have used Aldi Chunky yarn for my baskets. When I have compared this yarn to other brands I have noticed that it actually seems to be more like Super Chunky. If you are going to use a different brand then please use Super Chunky if you would like your baskets to turn out the same size as mine.

I have used a 10mm Hook.

The larger basket is approx. 8.5inches wide by 6 inches tall. The smaller basket is 7inches wide by 5 inches tall. One ball of Aldi Chunky yarn (400g – 200m) makes both of these baskets and you will still have some left over to make a smaller basket if required.
