About This Pattern
With this crochet basket pattern, you can learn how to make a beautiful DIY crochet basket that will be treasured for years to come.
Completing each basket involves two sections, making the basket and then the handle.

Optional instructions are included for a simple finishing border that can be added if you wish to have extra detail on your basket.
Finally, working in the ends will complete the construction process, with this simple technique, you can create beautiful pieces of art that will last for a long time.
Any yarn type can be used for this project like cotton, bamboo, hemp or acrylic.

Material Notes
All you need to know about materials required for this project.
Yarn
Choose a yarn fiber that is strong like cotton, nylon hemp, or even jute.
The suggested yarn weight for this pattern is double knit, for the below-mentioned finished size, but you can easily use a heavier weight for a slightly bigger finished item and a thinner weight if you are looking for a miniature bag.
You will need about 50 to 80m of yarn, depending on how deep you wish to make your basket and how long you decide to adjust your handle.
Crochet Hooks
A 4 mm / G-6 crochet hook is suggested for this basket type if you wish to have a stiffer fabric use a hook size half to one size smaller.
Color Indication
Color choice is completely up to you, the written pattern does indicate where color changes happen but does not specifically initiate a color.

Pattern Instructions
This pattern is written and charted using standard US crochet terminology.
Techniques used:
The pattern starts off with a magic ring and is worked in the round,
in general, chain 1 is required after completing a round, when using the same yarn and color for the next round,
if it is your choice to change color, then in general, you would join with a slip stitch on top of the starting chain stitch after the last stitch is worked for the round.
Working in ends as you go is my best practice, but it's all up to you and your choice when completing a project.
