LID BASKET
CROCHET PATTERN
Skill Level: Beginner One day Project
What You Will Need:
Yarn: Ribbon yarn (160g) or T-Shirt Yarn *See Notes*
Hook: 8.0 mm
Notions: Measuring Tape, Yarn Needle, Scissors, Stitch Markers
Notes:
Yarn:
I used two strands of ribbon yarn to get the thickness needed for an
8.0mm crochet hook. You can use any yarn like T-shirt yarn to make this
project.
T-shirt yarn will give you a more defined stitch compared to ribbon yarn.
Center sc Stitch:
For the basket base (Round 6-11) I use the center single crochet stitch also
know as the waistcoat stitch. You can use a standard single crochet stitch
if you wanted to.
Size: Finished size measure approx. 4.5 inches wide by 4 inches high.
