Note:
– Pattern for the base is working continuously in the round.
– Use stitch marker to mark first stitch in a round.
– Pattern for the side of basket is using knit stitch single crochet, it’s almost the same with single crochet, but we put the hook between the leg of each stitch (please watch the video for detail instruction).

How much t-shirt yarn is needed for each basket? The pattern notes 250 meters, but that seems like a lot for one basket. Thanks.
Hi Barbara. I’m sorry, I didn’t really measure the yarn. I think you can use less than that.
Thank you Soo Much for this pattern!! and the video. this is my first project with the Tshirt yarn (I bought a mystery sample pack so I gotta use it now). It worked up nicely and I have made 5 for teacher Valentines gifts.
