Cuffed Basket
These baskets are fun to knit, and then you can store your treasures in something you made, which makes them even more special. There are two sizes to choose from: small or large. Remember, small-size directions are written first; large-size directions are in the parentheses, unless written out separately.
You will knit most of the stitches for this basket, but every once in a while you will put in a purl stitch, so you’ll need to do a little counting. At the end, you turn your basket inside out, so the purl side is on the outside.
