**Bas­ket Con­struc­tion**: We’ll guide you through cre­at­ing the bot­tom of the bas­ket, build­ing its sides, and adding bas­ket han­dles for that authen­tic look. Con­tin­u­ous rounds and dif­fer­ent ways to han­dle the num­ber of stitch­es are essen­tial to mak­ing a well-struc­tured bas­ket.

 **Adding Extra Flair**: For a unique touch, con­sid­er using dif­fer­ent col­ors, scrap yarn, or even t‑shirt yarn for a play­ful twist. The pat­tern will include options for both sin­gle-col­or and mul­ti-col­or bas­kets, allow­ing you to unleash your cre­ativ­i­ty.
