Cutie Utility Crochet Basket 🧺 Free Pattern & Easy Step-by-Step Tutorial - Ombre Crochet Basket

So to make the Cutie Utility Basket, we are going to be using Red Heart Super Saver. This is a great low cost, sturdy yarn that is great for baskets. For this particular basket, I'm going to be making kind of a gradient from red to gray. So for the base, I'm going to use this kind of maroon, which is called Claret. I think the red is just red, cherry red. This is dusty gray, so it's going to be a little bit different yardage for each section. The base, because we're making the bottom of the basket, we're going to need extra of this one, so we need 275 yards of the base color, we need 150 of the middle color, and then about 120 yards of the top color, so keep that in mind when you're picking out your colors. Make sure you have enough in each one and don't just grab you know if it's like a Vanna's Choice which is one of the baskets that's in the picture of the pattern that one you would have to grab a couple of skeins for the base. So one thing that you'll notice in the pattern is and as we start working we're going to be working with three strands of the yarn throughout the entire project so not necessarily just three strands of this or three strands of that it's going to be Mixing and matching to create that ombre effect. So obviously we can't just Use the yarn as is so in the special instructions It says to wind two center pull balls of each of the colors I love using my yarn winder if you don't have one of these I'll link it in the description because this makes life so much easier, but I also have a link I'm going to link. For how to wind it Manually by hand into a center pull ball, so I will share the link for that video as well And then the other thing is when you're winding it like what how do you know once you've gotten to the amount that you need? Well, that's where this guy also comes in that's super handy This is a yarn counter so it gets wound around this wheel and then as you wind I have it upside down as you wind It's going to tell you how many yards you've wound so that if you know what the yard is yardage is on your skein you can kind of stop halfway and then cut it and start another one so with the basket you are going to need a J hook so that seems really small especially when they're telling you to use a five millimeter just for one strand of yarn we're going to be using three strands at once that is because The smaller the hook, the tighter the stitch and the stiffer the basket. By using that tighter smaller hook you're going to get a nice stiff basket that can stand up on its own even when nothing is in it. If you have maybe hand pain or it's just too difficult to use this small of a hook, feel free to up the size your basket will be a little bit bigger and a little bit floppier but it will work so i'm going to get started with the project the link for the actual pattern is in the description i'll be giving little tips and tricks throughout so be sure to watch through the whole video so that you don't miss out on any of those little tidbits so let's get started But first, don't forget to hit the like, subscribe, and notification bell so you don't miss out when I release these patterns. Okay, I'm ready to start my basket. I've got three strands of my CA or my clorette that I'm using. My first... Suggestion, tip, whatever. I say wind into two center-pull balls. You can always do three and then just work from the center of each one. I am just very lazy, and two is faster than three, so that's why I have done two, but that is always an option. So for round one, and every single stitch we're doing are all single crochet, so super simple. It's just... What we're doing with the yarn is what's going to give it the look. So we are going to start with a magic adjustable loop. So when you're doing one, you're just going to grab your yarn. You have your tail facing you and your working yarn away and just flip it over. And then you're going to reach through to your working yarn and pull up that loop. So you have kind of a pretzel going on or a little knot. And then we're going to do six single crochets into this magic adjustable loop. You can start with a chain one or you can go right into the single crochet, whatever you prefer. It works both ways. I went ahead and did a chain one, not a single crochet, but we're going to single crochet six times. And you'll see that with the small hook it will take a little bit to get used- I'm doing a half double pay no attention- with the Smaller hook, it will take a little bit to get used to pulling all of those through, like I just had a little issue right there. So my advice, take it slow until you get used to it. I'm rushing because I'm on video. But one thing to get through all those loops easily, another tip, is to turn your hook down and face it towards the stitches. That gets you right in the middle of kind of the V's of those stitches. And pulls through. So again, we're going to pull up and pull through by facing down. Now some hooks will work better than others. This is a Furls hook. It works fairly well. I'm going to grab another one of my favorite hooks and see if it works a little bit better with these three strands. Okay, so this is my Tulip Etimo hook. I love these guys as well. The metal is very slick and it goes through very easily, so I'm going to just give it a try. with that one and see if i'm having a little bit better success getting through one two three four and see if i like that a little bit better Better than the Furls, and it looks like I'm having still the same issue. There we go. All right, here is my sixth one. So I think I'm going to stick with this hook actually, and you'll see the head is just slightly different. This one has more of kind of that inward thing, and I think it's getting caught a little bit when I'm pulling through on the regular loops. This one's a little bit more in line, and it's not catching as much. So don't be afraid, another tip, don't be afraid to try different hooks. If one's giving you a little bit of an issue, I love the Furls, they're so light, they're so pretty, but sometimes you gotta switch and I'm going for the utilitarian Tulip so that I can make this easier and faster. I will link both of these in the description though in case you like them and want to go check them out. Okay so As you're working, you can, if you're making your magic adjustable loop and you're not sure how many stitches you've made, work backwards. You're looking for those Vs that you've made at the top of your stitch. So each V is one stitch. So here's my first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. So I have six total. So I'm ready to close this up. So I'm going to grab that tail and it should be looped around. It shouldn't be hanging out like this. It should be looped inside of your circle, and then you're going to pull that tight. And that's going to close up that circle for you. Now we are not going to join our round, and that is so that we don't have a seam on the basket. We're going to work in spirals, and that'll just make it look more seamless any way that you put it wherever you're putting it. You don't have to hide the seam in the back. So to do that, we're going to work into the first single crochet. So you can see it's kind of far away. It's a little far away. So you're going to do a little bit of gymnastics to get over there. But again if you're having trouble going where is that first stitch, look at your Vs. Turn your project sideways and look for the Vs on the top of your stitches and that's where you're going to work in. So I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. So I'm going to work in all the way over here. So I'm going to insert under both loops. Now remember, these stitches are going to be tight because we're using three in such a small hook, but switch up if you need to. Then we're going to go ahead and do our first single crochet of round two. So I'm kind of pulling everything tight so it comes over to where I'm at, and that will help close that circle down as well. But I'm going to do my first single crochet of round two, and then I'm going to place a stitch marker. So have. I love these split ring ones. They're just so simple to slide on and off. I'm not a super fan of the locking ones because you have to lock it and unlock it. This stays on. I've never had these fall out. So these are my favorite. I'll link those as well in case you don't have those and you might want to try them. So this stitch is going to get pulled a little. Don't worry, as you work around it's going to be looking normal like everything else, but for round two we're now going to increase every stitch. So we're going to do two single crochets in every stitch. So that's where I worked my last single crochet, so I'm going back in there. I always go under both loops for the stitch, and then I'm going to do another single crochet. Then I'm going to do I'm going to do my next. Stitch, I'm gonna do two in there. Make sure you get some good slack. And we're gonna continue that in all six stitches and that's gonna give us 12 stitches at the end of the round. And you'll notice as you're working, these stitches are super sturdy, super tight. This is what gives your basket that structure to stand without any problem. So I've got two more. With that stitch marker it's a little easier to see where the stitches end and start but again you can always count if you're getting lost, you're not sure how many you've made, you can always stop and I work backwards. It's just easier for me. I work from where I just made a stitch and then I count backwards and make sure that I have the right amount of stitches which is 12 is what I want for this one. Okay, so now we're ready for round three, so I'm going to pull my stitch marker out and always keep it handy so that I can put it where I can grab it easy. Always keep it handy because you want to put it back in right away so that you don't lose anything. So I'm going to do my first single crochet of round three, put my stitch marker in, and then look at my pattern. Then that way it kind of reminds you, do your single crochet, look at your pattern, put that stitch marker in so you don't forget. Because if you just start looking at your pattern and start going, you might forget to put that in. And since this is single crochet for everything, you know you're always going to single crochet at the beginning of each round. Okay, so for round three, we're going to still be increasing. We're going to increase a ton for the base, but we're going to... Spread it out. So we can't just increase non-stop in one section because that will make a lopsided circle. We have to space them evenly. So when we do our increases, this first stitch is going to be an increase, which means we're going to do two single crochets in that first stitch. Now we're going to separate each of our increases by one single crochet. So you'll notice that the V's kind of turn up towards you. So don't Go straight here. This is just your back loop. If you turn it sideways, you don't see your V's anymore. All of your V's are kind of coming towards you. So we're going to kind of go in the front and under to get under that V. So we're doing one single crochet in the next stitch. And then we're going to do two. And the stitch after for another increase. We're increasing by six stitches every single round and we're spacing them out by an extra stitch every round. So I just did two, I'm going to do one in the next stitch. Another tip, if you have squeaky yarn that's bugging you a lot, get a little bit of just plain lotion or I learned this trick. It's not a trick, it's whatever. A million years ago, I was watching some hiking or mountain video, whatever it was, and this This person on it said that if you have chapped lips, if you go into the corner of your nose not like inside but on the outside in the corner of your nose that's kind of the greasiest spot this is gross the greasiest spot of your face and you just rub that and you can rub that on your lips and And it will kind of... Help the chap. So it was like, you know, winter time and they were out in the woods. That's my weird story, but I've always remembered it and I've actually used it and it does work and I actually use it for my hook. So you can use some plain lotion, put a little bit on and it'll help keep the squeak down or just go to the inside of your nose and kind of give it a little rub through and then that can help as well. So I am just finished that one single crochet. Now I'm going for two. And then one again on the next stitch. So we do that six times to get all the way around. So if you forget where you're at, just always kind of look at your stitches. You'll see one in a certain stitch and you'll see two coming together kind of as a V in another stitch. Or you can go back to your stitch marker and count. So you have one, two, which would increase as one. one two increase one one two one so you can kind of do that if you lose your place so again we'll the rest of this Round will be two single crochets and one single crochet. So we'll finish that and come back for round four. Okay, here's my last stitch of round three. I should have a total of 18 stitches now because we increased by six. So again, the first stitch of my next round, I'm just going to stop, do one single crochet before I look at anything and put my stitch marker back in. So there's that first stitch done. We know we're increasing still. But this time we're going to separate each increase by two stitches. So that's going to be the pattern going forward. We separate by one this past row, two the next, three, four, until we get to what we need. So I just did my first single crochet, we're going to do another one for our increase, and then we're going to do one in the next stitch and one in the stitch after. So for a total of four stitches, we're on round four, that's kind of how you can help keep track, and then we're going to do increase. So one in the next stitch, two in the same stitch, and then two or one in each of the next two stitches. So this will keep our circle round. So we're going to do two stitches for an increase in one stitch, and then one stitch, one stitch. Two, one, one. So we're going to keep doing that all the way around, and we'll end up with a total of 24 stitches at the end of this round. So go ahead and do that, and then we'll come back for round five. Okay, here's the last stitch of round four. And again, before we start round five and even look at it, we're going to do our first single crochet. Put that stitch marker back. So round five, just like the last two rounds, we're doing increases and spacing them out. So we're going to do another single crochet in that same stitch, and then we're going to space it out by three stitches this time. So it's really a combo of five for round five is what you can think of it. So we're going to do one in the next stitch, another one in the stitch after, and then one more. In the third stitch. So we have a combo of five. We have two single crochets in one stitch and then one single crochet in each of the next three stitches. So we'll end up with 30 stitches. At the end of this round, so keep on going, we're going to do that combo of 5, 6 times for 30 stitches, and then we will keep on going and keep on increasing. Okay, here I am on the last stitch of round 5. Now we're moving on to round 6, our single crochet in there. Now we're going to separate our increases by four stitches, so we'll have a total of six stitches in as our repeat just for round six. So we're going to do another single crochet in that first stitch, then we're going to do one single crochet in the next four stitches. Probably starting to I'm starting to get the gist of how this is going to go. So we won't spend too much time on these rounds going forward just because it's going to be kind of the same thing over and over. So we're going to have two single crochets in the first stitch and then one single crochet in the next four stitches for a total of six stitches as our repeat. So we'll do that six times and come back for the next round. Okay, one more stitch for round six. Now we have a total of 36 stitches in our round. We're going to keep going into round seven where we're going to increase another six to 42 stitches. So this time we're going to be separating those increases by five stitches for a total of seven stitches in our repeat. So two into that first stitch and then one in the next five stitches. So we're going to do the two Increasing stitches into the next stitch and then one into each of the next five stitches. Five more times for a total of six times to get to those 42 stitches. So keep on going and then we'll come back for round eight. Okay, last stitch of seven. Moving on to eight. Now we're doing an eight stitch repeat. So it's doing that first stitch and putting the stitch marker back so you don't get lost. And then we're gonna do two in the first stitch. And then we're separating those by six stitches. So one single crochet in each of the next six stitches. This is going to give you a total of 48 stitches at the end of this round. We're getting closer. More than halfway there before we can just start working single crochets. That was my total. A little too... So remember, we're going to do two single crochets in our next stitch, and then one single crochet in each of the six stitches after, five more times to get a total of 48. Alrighty, round eight is done, I'm ready for round nine, I'm sure you're getting tired of increasing, but we've got a couple more to go before we can start making the basket, so we're going to, I'm breaking my rule, I just did my increase at the same time. I'm going to put my stitch marker in that first single crochet, so I have two. Now we're separating by seven stitches for a total of nine for our pattern repeat. That's going to give us 54 stitches at the end since we're going to do it six times as usual. You'll see that the base is starting to look like a hexagon. Don't worry, once you start doing the basket, it's going to round out. So it doesn't, um, it's going to look more hexagonal as you go with the increases because we are increasing in six specific areas every single round. But don't worry, it's not going to look like a hexagon once you start making the actual basket. Let's see, probably get one more here. You'll start to like notice too like where you where kind of where it ends so you'll see my increase from the previous round is down here so I I've done this enough that I can eyeball it so I'm sure I probably have nine already so we have one two three four five six seven eight nine and I am going to start doing my increase so just keep on going around get those 54 stitches and then And then we'll have. Three more rounds of increasing and then we'll be ready for basket time. All right, 54 stitches down. We're gonna kind of speed through these next three because I think you get the gist of it. We're going to do two single crochets in our first stitch for round 10, then we're separating by eight stitches for a total of 10 stitches, and then we'll wind up with 60 at the end. So again, two In the first stitch and then eight just regular single crochets and repeat that for a total of six times. So we'll meet up after 60 stitches for round 11 and get through these nice and quick so we can move on to the basket. Okay round 10 is done we're going on to 11 and just like all previous rounds we're going to start with an increase and then we're going to separate our stitches or increases this time by nine total stitches so we have a total of 11 for round 11 so we'll have 66 stitches at the end of this round and then we'll have just one more round of increasing and then we get to start forming the sides of the basket so keep on going you're almost there All right, we're last round of increasing. You can see we have quite a hexagon going. Again, do not worry, that will get remedied as we work the basket. But one more round of increasing and then we'll start seeing something happen. So we're gonna do 12 stitches in our pattern this time for a total of 72 stitches. So we're gonna do two in the beginning and then separate it by By 10 single crochets. total of 12 stitches 6 times around for 72 total so this is your final increase round no more increasing after this go ahead and get this done and then we'll start on our basket okay we are done increasing you're still keeping the stitch marker though because we need to keep track of our rounds so just go ahead and start your first stitch of round 13 One thing to note if you've never worked a basket or a beanie like this where you kind of work the increases and then The regular stitches, it's going to stay flat for a couple of rounds, so don't freak out. It will start to cup up into the basket shape after like three or four rounds. But what we're going to do for rounds 13 through 17 is use just the three strands still of the base color and just single crochet in every stitch around. So we'll be doing 72 stitches around. All the way until the end of round 17, and then we will start changing colors, so these will be nice easy rounds, just keep going, don't forget your stitch marker, and we'll meet up at the end of round 17 to do our first color change. Okay, I've got two more stitches of round 17 and on this last stitch you'll see in the special instructions that it talks about changing your colors during the last stitch of the round before. So that's what we're doing here. We're going to start our single crochet and pull up our loops and then we're going to switch out one of our strands of the CA color and substitute it with a CB. So I am going and you'll notice if you've wound two balls you'll have one that's definitely bigger than the other because you're only using one strand from that one. So I'm going to keep using that one and I'm going to cut off one of these and I'm actually going to cut the one that's on the outside so I can kind of wind that back up a little bit. So I'm just going to cut it, actually I cut that the wrong spot. I wanted to cut it closer to this. Don't be like me. me. Cut your tail the other way. I was going to cut it really close up here, but that was not really what I wanted to go for, so now I need to find that. Give me a second, I'm going to go search that back here and cut it a little shorter so it's not in the way. Okay, I found it. So I'm going to cut that off, and then unwind it. It's probably pretty good and wound up from when you're working. And we're going to drop that one off. So now I just have the two strands from the two balls that I still have. Actually, this one's popping out, so let me wind this up so it's not in the way. Those over there. Get these kind of discombobulated here. Okay, there we go. Have our two. Now we're going to leave a tail for weaving in of the red. And then bring these all together and then we're going to pull those through to start the next round. So now what we're going to do is we're going to single crochet two rows with this color combo and I don't do anything special with it. I don't like try to have one dominate the other or anything like that. I just Go for it and how it lays is how it lays. If you want, you can, you know, if you want maybe the Red extras, you know prominent you can sit there and mess with it, but I want it to be more natural So I'm just going to do it and let it go how it goes So do two rounds we're doing around 18 around 19, and then we're gonna change the color again So do those two and I'll meet you up at round right at the end around 19 so we can start around 20 Okay, two stitches down or two stitches to go And on this last one, we're going to be doing another color change, so we're going to pull up all of the loops like normal, but we're going to drop another one of our darks. So this time I'm going to cut it the right way, and I want to take this one that is getting nice and small and cut that one. Okay so that is this one and I'm going to give it enough to Weave in, and I'll pull that out of there. Okay, now I'm going to grab another red, grab from the middle here, and we're going to add in a second of our color B. Let me detangle everything first. Oh, I took my rings off. Sometimes my hands get cold, and then they shrink, and then the rings are just flinging around, so I took them off so they're not in my way. In case you're wondering why they're sitting over there. So now I'm going to add in my second thread. So I have all three strands now. I have a strand to weave in and then I grab all of those and pull through. So you can see kind of how the red just is throughout. It's nothing that's planned so I'm going to keep on doing that same kind of thing. This is going to give us a little bit more red because of A change in color. So you can really do this in any colors you want. You can be very monochromatic. You can be very, you know, Bright pops of different colors. I have a couple different other options that you'll see in the pictures. So it's really, this is a fun project to really experiment with color. And if you have themed rooms like a nursery, you can do it in the colors of the nursery or, you know, even your bedroom, whatever it may be. It's just, it's a really fun project to play with color. So... With that said, this is going to be three rows with two CB1CA, just single crocheting as usual. So you're going to do, I said rows earlier, I think, you're going to do round 20, 21, and 22. And then we will make some more color changes. So go do those three rounds and we will meet back. Okay, last two stitches and then we're ready to switch to our new color. So again, we'll pull up and leave those all together. And now we're going to go full red or full CB. So I am going to cut the last of the maroon off, pull that out of the mix. Now I am going to grab one of my ends, I think I'll grab, let's see which one have I been using, I think I've been using that one, I'm going to grab this end, and we are going to bring that in with our other two for a total of three reds, or three seabees, remember Remember that tail? It's always fun this first stitch to get through. It kind of locks in good though, like I never really have problems with it coming undone as I'm working because I think all of the different strands are all just locked in. So now we're going to work in just CB or red for a bit. So we're going to do five rounds. So we're going to do rounds. Twenty-three through twenty-seven in the red. So five full rounds and then we'll start switching over to our gray or our CC. So just keep on working these single crochets over and over again and don't forget that stitch marker and then we'll come back at the end of round twenty-seven to start switching Switching colors again. Okay, here we are on the last stitch and we're gonna start switching colors. This is the end of round 27, so we're gonna pull up the single crochets if we're about to work it, and we're gonna drop off one of our reds. Cut that guy out, and then we're going to bring in CC, or in my case, gray. So we're gonna run that along, make sure you have nice long tails to weave in. Tails always go into the right. Finish off that stitch. Okay, now we are going to do two rounds with the one cc or one gray before we start changing colors again. So keep on going around for another two rounds with the one strand of your third color, and then we will meet up to switch out some more colors. Okay, here we are at the end of round 29, and I actually need to... Back up because I want to change colors at the end of this round so I'm going to start up then I'm going to drop one of my reds because it's time to add in another gray so I'm going to cut that just move so my scissors I need to go find them there's some regular nail scissors okay then we're going to add in our gray so again leave the tail long enough for you to weave that in easily lay it over with your other strands that you've got going on and then we're going to finish that stitch. Now we are going to do three rounds with two of the grays and one of the reds so two cc's and one cb. So we're going to do three rounds around and then we'll come back and change our color again. So just keep on single crocheting until you get to the end of round 32. Okay here I am at the end of round 32 and now it's time to go all gray. So I'm going to start my stitch, I'm going to cut my red, I found some scissors, and then I'm going to bring in the outside gray here, put that in, And then we're going to go ahead and do two more rounds of single crocheting, but in all gray, so that way we can get to where we have the handles. So we're going to go ahead and do two more rounds. Always remember your stitch marker so you don't lose your place. And then we're going to come back. and work on creating the handles for the basket so go ahead and do round 33 and 34 and then i'll meet you right there at the end. okay here i am at the end of round 34 so now for round 35 we are going to start making the handles so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to single crochet 13 stitches so i'm going to place my stitch marker first so So that's one. And here is our 13th stitch. The reason we're doing this is to kind of make our seam, which isn't really a seam, but if you look closely you can see the offset of the colors. So we're turning the handles on the sides here, so that way this is the back. So next we're going to make a handle. So the first portion of the handle is chaining 10, and we're going fairly tight because we're going to work around the chains on the next round so don't make them too loose. So 10 chains and one thing to note you can skip handles you can make them bigger smaller whatever you like change your chains to make it bigger smaller or just omit the chains and keep on working the rest of the basket and just single crochets if you want no handle. Now we're We're going to skip the next 10 stitches. Move my basket around here and then we're gonna single crochet 26 stitches. So we're gonna go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I'm going to single crochet into that 11th stitch and then we're gonna do 25 more single crochets. So 26 in all and that'll get us to the other side to make the other Now I was about to say other half of the handle, no, the other handle. So keep on going for 26 stitches and then we'll make the second handle. Alright, I've got 25 and 26. So now I'm ready to make my second handle, which should be right on the opposite end of the first one. So again, we're going to chain 10 nice and tight. 10 and then we're gonna skip 10 stitches again one two three four five six seven eight nine ten and then we should have 13 stitches left so we're gonna single crochet in the next one and then single crochet 12 more stitches to our marker. Okay, here I am at the end of round 35, we only got two more rounds to go, we're almost done. So for round 36, I am going to be doing another 13 single crochets to get to my chain 10, and then we're gonna work the handle. Okay, here I am at my handle. Let me move this basket around. It's very stiff, so I have to undo it and then redo it. So I've got 10 chains. I'm going to work 10 single crochets all the way around the chain. So I'm going to reach through the big hole, pull up the loop, and do my single crochet. Try to keep like your loops close together because with this being that big you know you could have really wide stitches which is going to make them look funky. So just make sure that you're bringing all of your loops close together when you're making your single crochet. Don't worry if Everything is kind of scrunched to one side when you make the ten and you still have like some room here. You'll be able to kind of pull them and make them all even if you have that issue. They can move since they are around the entire chain, so don't worry too much about that. So here I am at six, seven. I'm kind of purposely trying to make it over there. DNA. Hold on. Got to shred a DNA in here. Here, DNA. I'm still using my projects. Go. How many did I do now? Oh, nope, still stuck to me. My DNA loves me so much. Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six. I'm purposely trying to leave a little space so you can see how you can move it. Seven. So you see how I have kind of this little chunk right here? I can just spread these out and cover that up easily, so don't worry too much. Then we are going to single crochet in each stitch around until we get to our other handle and do the same thing with the 10 around the chains and then single crochet to our stitch marker. So I think you guys get the gist of single crocheting around the handle so I'm going to leave you to it to finish this round and then we'll come back for our final round. Okay, here we are. The last stitch of the second to last round. So we have one more round left and this one's an easy round. We're just going to single crochet in every stitch around. Be sure to still use your stitch marker because we're going to do one special stitch at the end to make sure you don't have this big gap that you have going on right here. So just single crochet all the way around. Same thing when you get to the handles, just single crochet into each of those stitches and you'll be good to go and we'll meet up at the end of the round. Okay, here I'm at the last stitch of the last round. You can see I have my handles nice and made. So what we're going to do for the very, very last stitch is that we are going to do a slip stitch into our next stitch. So we're going to insert our hook through a loop and then pull through the loop on the hook. That will bring us down so that way it is not so high. So after that we're going to fasten off and weave in the ends and the basket is done. So let me show you. And I would again, not again, just I would. Take the ends that I'm weaving in and take it into the next stitch on top of that and that'll help pull it down even more but that's also with those handles this will be the back of the basket so it won't be as noticeable so that's why we put the the handles on the side there. So that is the basket so I hope you enjoyed making it. Be sure to hit the like, subscribe, and notification bells for the next free pattern to be released. And head over to my Instagram.
