For Easter or anytime you’d like to present a gift of goodies, these cheery baskets are sure to please. The basket cover is simply crocheted onto a plastic bleach bottle. Both designs are crocheted using worsted weight yarn and a size H (5.00 mm) hook. The small basket is attached to the bottom of a 1-gallon plastic bleach bottle with holes punched along the top edge; the large basket uses a 1½-gallon bottle. Each handle is made by wrapping yarn around a narrow strip cut from the bottle.
