Notes

I worked through round 8 to 48 stitches (a multiple of 4 stitches for the pattern) and then continued on at round 17 to give me smaller baskets. The one on the left was done with an H/5.0mm hook and the one on the right was done with a G/4.0mm hook.

Finished size with H hook: 5” across.
Finished size with G hook: 4.5” across.
They’re both about 4.75” tall.

Also, the amounts for the basket with the G hook were the same for the Sage and Bronze and .1 oz less for the Copper and Cornmeal. The yarn for the H hook one was:
Lt Sage: 0.8oz/23g/43.7 yds
Bronze: 0.3 oz/8.5g/17.1 yds
Copper: 0.4 oz/11.3g/20.9 yds
Cornmeal: 0.3 oz/8.5g/15.7yds

The yarn for the G hook one was:
Lt Sage: 0.8oz/23g/43.7 yds
Bronze: 0.3 oz/8.5g/17.1 yds
Copper: 0.3 oz/8.5g/17.1 yds
Cornmeal: 0.2 oz/6g/10.9yds

I later decided I needed 2 more baskets (#3 & #4) but I grabbed the Spruce instead of the Lt Sage. I did the same, made one with an H (5mm) hook and one with a G (4.5mm) hook. They basically came out the same as the Lt Sage ones. The yarn for the H hook one was:
Spruce: 0.7oz/20g/36.4 yds
Bronze: 0.4 oz/11.3g/21.5 yds
Copper: 0.3 oz/8.5g/16.2 yds
Cornmeal: 0.3 oz/8.5g/16.4yds

The yarn for the G hook one was:
Spruce: 0.7oz/20g/36.4 yds
Bronze: 0.3 oz/8.5g/16.2 yds
Copper: 0.3 oz/8.5g/16.2 yds
Cornmeal: 0.3 oz/8.5g/16.4yds

Also, I decided to do a crab stitch edging on the Spruce ones where on the Sage ones, I did the twisted single crochet. The last photo shows the difference between the two (sage on the left, spruce on the right).
