This little basket is about 3" in diameter on the inside, perfect for tiny things like buttons or change. I made it as a laundry basket for my makeup remover pads. It's just a little bigger than they are, so they stack up in there just right. And unlike the lingerie bag I was using, it stands up and looks cute on my counter.
Filled with a week's worth of makeup remover pads, this would be a perfect stocking-stuffer for a teenager or an adult!

2 strands cotton yarn (I used a Peaches and Cream green twist and Red Heart white)
5.5mm or 6mm hook (whichever is more comfortable for you)

What do you mean when you say two strands of cotton yarn? Are you supposed to tie them together? If so why? Super cute cannot wait to make it.
ReplyDeleteI held two strands together the whole time, so every stitch is double thick. I am going to make it more clear in the instructions.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't understand this: "Turn (so that right side is facing outside of basket), sc in front loop (side on the top) of each dc around". Can you give me a bit more help on this maybe? Much appreciated.
DeleteJust do your scs in one loop only - it doesn't really matter which one. But you want the right side of your work showing on the outside, not hiding on the inside. So make sure it is. If it's not, go the other way so that it does. :)
DeleteDo you do this to make it stand up better? So I'm basically just going in one loop... I think I can do that!
DeleteYes, and yes. :)
DeleteHi! I found your blog via Pinterest. This is the cutest thing ever! I may have to add this to my ever growing list of Christmas presents to make! Thank you for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest thing ever!

ReplyDeleteDoes the chain 3 and chain 1 count as the first stitch?
ReplyDeleteCan this pattern be made in single crochet
