4 strands held together, 9 colors. Quite tight tension needed to create a basket with enough density to keep the sides standing up. I love this pattern!!!

One thing I struggled with, though, is the very obvious diagonal seam. I ended up selling this one at a reduced price because of the seam (and I included a link to the original pattern on the tag, of course!) I’ve come up with a great way to hide the seam, although it takes a little bit more time. I’ll post another pattern when I finish the 2 baskets I’m working on with the new technique.
