Who doesn’t need a cute little decorative basket for storing little items? This little whimsical basket is double-layered, so it holds its shape very well - even if you fill it with heavier objects.

I made mine with sock-weight yarn and a crochet hook size 3.0 mm / US size C. The diameter is approx 8 cm / 3 inches and the height is approx 5 cm / 2 inches. The size might vary with heavier yarn and bigger hooks.

The pattern is written in US terminology. My reviewers tell me my patterns are easy to read and follow (thank you :)) but I am happy to help if you find yourself getting stuck while creating your basket.

Supplies: To make the little basket, you will need two colours of yarn (less than a skein each) and a hook to match.

You will need these stitches to follow the pattern

Magic circle
Chain
Single crochet
Increase
Back-loop only
Front-loop only
Slip stitch

I sincerely hope you will enjoy creating this basket. It is great for decorative storage and makes for a cute present too.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
