A tisket, a tasket,
I want to loom a basket!

Now you can loom your own circular basket of any size, using any gauge loom!

The Build A Basket pattern comes with detail instructions to make 4 different baskets: a small-sized basket (10.5” circumference x 3” tall), a medium-sized basket (21.5” circumference x 6 ” tall), a Bean Pot Basket (9” diameter x 3” tall) and a Cat Basket (14.5” diameter x 3” tall). And the pattern includes detailed instructions on how to Build A Basket From Scratch….you decide what loom you want to use and what size basket you want!

The white basket was knit on a 3/4” gauge loom with the following yarns:
2 strands – Lion Brand Cotton Ease, #4 worsted
1 strand – Lily Sugar & Cream, #4 worsted
1 strand – Bernat Softee Chunky, #5 bulky

The little black/white basket was knit on a 1/2” gauge loom using approximately 30 yards of Red Heart Cordial yarn, #5 bulky.

The pattern is suitable for an intermediate loom knitter.
