This basket is good for collecting small items on your desktop or in drawers — or for holding a small batch of wrapped chocolates.

This crochet pattern also includes a simple bunny appliqué, which can be tied to the side of the basket. Detailed steps are included with the pattern.

The side of the basket is made sturdier with a special stitch, which is detailed in the step-by-step guiding images and in an accompanying video demonstration.

Also, in the PDF’s References section, you can find tips and introductions for the crochet techniques used in the pattern.

Different color combinations and arrangements give the basket a different style. Two suggested styles are included in the pattern.
