A Free Crochet Pattern
As you can see from the picture above I was meaning to have this pattern out before Christmas, my design schedule changed when I made the
Etching Scarf Pattern. I think this date will be better anyway.
Easter is only a couple of months away. Do you like to make Easter baskets for your loved ones? I have made a few different ones. I made a really sturdy
one with fabric strips and I have made a
coil basket with thread and t-shirt yarn.
I really like this basket, because it looks so much like a woven basket. The tunisian seed stitch is the perfect look for a woven basket. I paired the basket with the attached i-cord edging to give it a modern streamlined look.
If this pattern looks a little hard for you. Don't forget that I have a practice pattern available for this basket. the
A Trisket A Tasket Dishcloth will help you go through all the stitches need to make the basket.
This basket is easy to adjust in size. If you want a bigger basket I would suggest switching to a Tunisian hook. The math for making it bigger would be the width of stitches plus 20. So if you want a basket that is 30 stitches wide, You will want to make the pattern 50 rows tall. Do you see what I am saying? I'm sure that it will make more sense when you read through the pattern.
