A wee one. Saw some on Pinterest and thought I would give it a go. Didn't have a pattern so I just winged it. Will try a larger one when I get some more yarn

Wow you are a Whizz Linda and its gorgeous. Handy for keeping all your hooks etc in one place too.

That is absolutely cool!!
How tick is the yarn? Makes me want to get my hooks out!!

Just winged it, EH?? If I did that it would be lopsided and big enough for a to feed from!!!

Yours is lovely, though. Clever girl!!!

Great looking basket!

For having no pattern and just winging it, WOW!

It was quite thick. One of those huge balls of the Red Heart stuff that I got from WalMart a few years ago, Had just a little left over from a lap blanket I made. Used a #5 hook. It was good because it gave the basket body enough to not collapse.

And I was stratigic in taking the pic, No one could see the join, need to work on that, not too neat and I think I added a stitch or two in the process. It kind of bows out a little..
