This PWYC model offers several pricing tiers, with the hope of making my patterns financially accessible to those who need it, while still being able to value my time and labour. As a low-income knitter, I have been able to learn and grow with my knitting thanks to the generosity of designers offering free or discounted patterns, and I am happy to pay that forward.

This basket every bit as functional as it is cute, but it also gave me the perfect excuse to rediscover how much I enjoy working with plant fibre. I used a cotton/linen blend, but any sturdy wool or acrylic should work fine as a substitute. The interior lining is optional, but it gives the basket more structure and stability, and I love any excuse to add a pop of colour.

I would recommend this as an intermediate pattern: it requires short rows and picking up stitches, but there are picture and video tutorials included to help you through every step of the way!
