I bought a Dollar Tree Wire Basket Oval Bowl - measurements - 7.87x6.85x4.13 in.
I like using these bowls / baskets as yarn bowls / projects. Can use any yarn fiber, color and stitch of my choice and not spend what a yarn bowl costs.
Bottom of Basket I used this video for reference:

Ch 13
Round 1 :
6dc in 3rd chain from hook (corner), dc to last stitch- 7dc in last stitch to make corner. Dc on opposite side of previous dc stitch to end round. Sl st.
Note : Ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch.
Round 2 :
Ch 2, 2dc in same stitch, 2dc in the next 5 sts to increase corner, Dc across sides, 2dc in the 7 corner stitches, dc across previous sides, slip stitch.
Round 3 :
Ch 2, 1 dc in same stitch, 2dc next st repeat ** for 19 sts for corner, dc across sides, sl st
Round 4 :
Ch 2, dc in blo around.
Round 5 :

Sides of Basket I did the Waffle Stitch but you can use most stitches for this idea like diamond stitch to Extended Moss Stitch.
Waffle -
Round A (RS) :
Ch 2, fpdc in same st to hide ch 2, dc next 2 sts, Fpdc, dc next 2 sts, sl st, turn.
Round B (WS) :
Ch 2, FPdc around the next 2 sts (dc sts previous round), dc top of fpdc previous round, sl st, turn.
Repeat Rounds A & B until you reach height of Basket. For mine it was 9 rounds. I single crochet in each st / hole of Basket to attach cozy to basket.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
