Notes

3 baskets made using 3 strands of yarn from Mikki plus a 4th strand from stash. The only difference between the three is the 4th strand -- I changed it for each basket. The first 4th strand was turquoise, the next was orange, and the last was sage. With just one strand change, they look complete different from one another.

4th basket made with all teals provided by Mikki. Two appear to be #5 weight and one was #4.

Each basket made with

  • 3 rounds of hdc for bottom to 30 sts joining at the end of each round.
  • 1 round of bpsc - not joined (i.e., Jayda in Stitches technique from this basket HERE at about 12m13s.)
  • 5 unjoined rounds of sc to reach height.

As in all previous projects, I did not do the fold over rounds.

4.5” across x 2.5” deep

Much thicker than the cotton baskets HERE and HERE.

I took a photo of the leftover yarns Mikki gave me but none of the yarns used from my stash. She’s wanting me to make more and charge $15. Alex definitely wants one. I prefer how they look and the stitch definition when they’re made with cotton vs. acrylic.
