Crocheted baskets are practical and they are quick to make, so they are also a fantastic gift idea. Just work spiral rounds of single crochet, using a size 8 mm hook. Add the final round in a contrasting color and you’re done! These special baskets of Cotton Jersey yarn are oval in shape so they don’t take up too much room. The elastic cotton tape comes in many colors. While you’re at it, also make a basket for your friend – she’ll be delighted!
