Soft but sturdy little container using only 100 yards of bulky tape yarn and can be accomplished in just one day!
Makes a quick, inexpensive, and impressive gift. I know! I’ve gifted a bunch of them.

The basket is approximately 5” x 7” and is worked in the round, starting at the base. Some experience working in the round and a good understanding of stitch structure will help the project go faster, but I’ve included detail photos to assist with the pattern stitch.

Gauge is unimportant, but if you choose a lighter yarn, you may want to add a round or two to the base.

There are many delightful tape and ribbon yarns that might work well for this project, but anything very stretchy or lightweight should be avoided.

Supplies:
1 ball Fibranatura Denims - Bulky weight, 100g/109yds, %70 cotton/%30 wool.
