These cute little baskets work up super quickly, thanks to the super bulky Tuff Puff yarn. The pattern includes instructions for all three baskets plus the little bonus dish. I was able to make all four items using three balls of Tuff Puff yarn and a size N (9mm) crochet hook - though I did use up every little bit of yarn when I finished the bonus dish, so you may want to grab an extra ball in case our gauges don’t match exactly! The colors I used were White, Ivy, and Silver.

Basket sizes:
Large - 6.5” wide, 3.5” tall
Medium - 6.5” wide, 2” tall
Small - 4.5” wide, 3.5” tall
Bonus dish - 4.5” wide, 2” tall

These baskets only use ch and double crochet, and I’ve linked tutorials in the pattern in case you’re unfamiliar with working in the back loop only, invisible joins, or magic ring.

For size comparison, I included photos with each basket holding (or in the case of the bonus dish, spilling) the same quantity of shape blocks).
