This beautiful basket of Wash+Filt-it! yarn requires patience and a good knowledge of crochet. The basket is begun at the top and first worked with rounds of filet pattern. Then the plaid pattern is crocheted into the filet base. The bottom and handles are made separately. All pieces are first felted in the washing machine, then sewn together. does take time and effort but the resulting basket is definitely worth it – an eye-catching accessory for every home.
