For this pattern I used about 3/4 of one skein of Hoooked Zpagetti.
The size of hook I used is a 12 mm. one.
Since the basket is very bulky, hook size won’t be so critical. Use a hook you feel comfortable with and which is large enough to crochet Hoooked Zpagetti or any other super bulky yarn.

I used Zpagetti because the material is fun to work with and a bit rough so the knots stay put really nicely.

The size of the basket is about 30 cm in widht and 20 cm in height.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
