Here is a super easy, 3-hexagons basket with a playful tassel finish.

I used Cestari 3-ply DK 100% Fine Merino Wool in 179123 Spruce Blue. While this wool is labeled DK weight which usually is a little bit on the thin side for the hexagon looms, this wool created a nice, loft fabric with a beautiful color expression. 39 yards will be enough to weave 3 hexagons on the TexaTURTLE loom.

The trim and tassels are made of a small amount of Brown Sheep Nature Spun Worsted in 730W Natural.

Instructions (use photos to guide you):

• Weave three blue hexagons and sew (whip stitch) them together into a row.
• Close to a round, then sew adjacent sides together to form the bottom of the basket.
• With the wrong side facing towards you, crochet one row of sc along the top: Work about 12 sc along each side, 3 sc in each tip, and sc2tog where the sides of the hexagons meet.
• For each tassel, wrap the yarn about 12 times around three fingers, then tie one end and clip the other to make the tassel.
• Turn right side out, then flip each of the three hexagon tips to the outside to form an even top.
• Secure each tip with a tassel.
• Weave in ends. 

Variation
You could also follow the instructions using the original TURTLE loom, or the TURTLE loom “fine sett” and make a smaller basket to just hold a few treats or to present a very pretty colored egg.
