Introduction:
The Knit Stitch Basket pattern provides easy instructions for crocheting a simple, chic, and functional basket featuring the “knit stitch”! This basket is relatively quick to work up, yet maintains a lovely look. While it is a beginner-friendly crochet pattern with video tutorials and photo references, there are many ways to customize it to give it a unique and special look!
