Pattern Notes:

1. For the large lid, the loops to loop around the button: the design called for a ch 10. Instead I used Foundation Single Crochet of 10
2. For the large lid, I used ‘Aloe’(green) for the center chain, the sc row attached to the center chain and rows 1,2 (on both sides). The erst were in ‘Stonewash’(Blue)
3. The body of the basket needed to be taller - So instead of 20 rounds, I did 25 rounds.
4. I used two colors for the body as well. The bottom of the bag, plus side rows 1-7 were in ‘Stonewash’ (blue). Rows 8 to 18 were in Aloe(green). Rows 19 to 25 were in Stonewash (Blue)

I wanted the basket bag to be tall enough to hold feeding bottles - however I did not make it tall enough. for this purposes, i wish I had crocheted 5 more rows - bringing the number of rows on the basket side to 30.
