Mini knitted tape baskets that look like crocheted ones! These adorable little baskets are tough enough for trick or treating or an Easter egg hunt, or perfect for display as they are or holding a tiny succulent. They make perfect little flower girl baskets, or why not use them to display or gift sweets or candies for Christmas?
Instructions are for recycled tape yarn for eco-friendly sturdiness but you can knit them in any yarn you like, just alter the needle size accordingly!
The baskets are knit all in one piece with no seams, so you only ever have two ends to sew in, at the start and the end.
NOTE: all instructions are for circular needles and magic loop, but the whole thing can be knitted on double pointed needles if you prefer.
