My neighbour asked me to make her a basket for her vegetables, and I decided to design my own style (a basket that HOLDS stuff).
So I made her the ecru one, and a lot of people fell in love with the design and shape.

The smaller basket is a quick and really fun project: you hold 2 strands of yarn together.

But then I got asked if I could make a couple different sizes. So I went back to my paper, with my calculator and pen, and came up with 2 other sizes. The large IS a larger project……. For these baskets I used a yarn that was in a bag without label (one of those really huge skeins that Walmart sometimes sells……. ). I think it is similar to a Red Heart yarn…… again: I held 2 strands together.

Measurements: Small Basket about 10.5” high x 8.5” wide, Medium Basket about 12” high x 9.5” wide, Large Basket about 13.5” high x 10.5” wide

IF you are only looking to make a smaller, cute basket (it IS not that small!!), then I would suggest going to this page: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hanging-teardrop...
BUT if you want to make 3 different sizes, stay here.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send me a message.
I just can’t wait to see your finished projects!!!
