Using up small bits of yarn or coarse yarn not suitable for prayers shawls or blankets.
Continuous rounds of single crochet, holding 3 strands at a time of worsted weight; crochet in back loops only where bottom and sides meet, and also partway up the side to make an easy fold to form a basket out of a tote.

Except at the very bottom, I used brown throughout as one of the strands, then switched to tan when the brown ran out, for some color continuity.

Bottom includes some half-double crochet stitches to make a slightly oval shape, instead of a circle.
