So! I love baskets. And containers. And little tins. And enamel bowls. Sigh.
Lately, I have really been in love with these. Except that they are just a little too boring and white.
I bought some Lily Sugar and Cream a few weeks ago with the plan of teaching Evan how to crochet so he could make washcloths and such as Christmas gifts. He was in to it for about 30 seconds. Now not so much.
So, I decided to take over one of the skeins and created this!
So, no real pattern... Started by chaining 20, then single crocheted until it was square. That formed the bottom. To make the transition to the sides, double crochet all the way around, then front post single crochet in each double crochet. After that, just single crochet around and around until you have a size you like. Occasionally, check the sides... I found that I had to decrease on the corners about every 5th row to keep the corners "crisp".
This basket took me about 3 hours... perfect late night movie project.
