A quick and easy basket with puff stitch detail, designed to use up some of my yarn stash (and fabric stash as I chose to line it). Neither tension nor yarn are critical - it takes less than 100g of a standard dk yarn and I have used a 3mm hook in order to achieve a slightly tighter stitch to make the finished basket more sturdy. It was lined with less than 0.25m fabric I had left over from a different project.

I plan on making a few of these, not only to make room in my cupboard for more yarn but I am going to fill them with nice toiletries and give them as gifts over the festive season.

The instructions are written in UK crochet terminology.

Enjoy!
