Notes
Not reversible.
Knit top down.
Knit using the seed stitch.
Knit in the round with a circular needle.
When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
I knit the basket using small needles to get a tight stitch, so it will stand up on its own.

End:
I used a crochet hook to sew the bottom onto the basket.
I created a video for this too! I’m a visual learner, so I like to create videos to help other visual learners. :)
Weave in the ends.
No blocking necessary.
