The easiest pattern repeat of all the baskets, and as the others rather versitile. Larger needles, bulkier yarn, knit sides taller/shorter for diverse results. Examples knit using 4mm DPNS. Finished measurements: Left greens basket: 5"wide 3"high. White cotton w/ varigated: 5"wide 3"high. For pattern purposes I will be giving directions for making the basket to the left here.
