+++++You’ll need:
Sugar’n Cream Cotton
5.5 mm (7/32 in) cotton clothesline with polyester core
5.5 mm (I-9) hook
5 mm (H-8) hook
Tapestry needle, scissors, stitch marker


+++++Finished Size
Approximately 24 cm (9-1/2 in) wide and 19 cm (7-1/2 in) tall.

+++++Skill Level
This is an intermediate-to-advanced crochet project.

It requires constant shaping and tension management of both the stitches and the coil. In addition, it employs waistcoat stitch, a slightly more challenging version of a single crochet stitch. Moreover, to create a firm, sturdy basket, waistcoat stitch in this pattern is worked with two strands of yarn held together and a considerably smaller hook size than is typically recommended for waistcoat stitches. Due to these factors, this pattern is not recommended for a novice crocheter.
