The Hibiscus Baskets are a couple of quick makes with a lacy floral motif. These cute little baskets work up fast, and are an adorable addition to a picnic table or your work desk! The possibilities are endless!

Small basket: 3” diameter, 3.75” tall
Gauge: 11 rows and 9 sts of sc in 2”
4mm hook
1 ball each color, Pastel Pink and Fuscia

Large Basket: 5” diameter, 4” tall
Gauge: 5 rows and 4 sts of sc in 2”
9mm hook
2 balls Cornflower, 1 ball White

Both of these baskets use worsted yarn. You can use any worsted yarn, in two colors, tho I suggest using cotton so that the flowers block well. I used Premier Home Cotton (see below for colors and amounts for each basket). This cotton is economical, and it worked up well into these adorable baskets. For the large basket, I worked with worsted yarn held triple. Because of this, it worked up like a bulky yarn, and the large basket was made in no time! That makes it perfect for a last-minute gift, or home décor item. 

These baskets work up quick. Starting in the center base of the basket, you work out and up, and the lace is worked directly on it. There’s no seaming, and you work in continuous rounds until the very end! 

How many will you make?
