Large Basket

Increased base to 108 instead of 72. I did 5 rows of each color (15 rows of SC + 15 rows of spike stitch total). Did an extra row of HDC through third loop at the top, then SC through third loop of that row. It created more of a defined rim at the top.

Reinforced basket base according to this tutorial: https://sweeteverlyb.com/crochet-basket/

Small Basket

Followed pattern for the large basket, which I still think is pretty small.
