Let’s get start­ed with your cro­chet adven­ture!To begin your cro­cheted bas­ket, you’ll need some essen­tial mate­ri­als: cot­ton yarn, a cro­chet hook (the size depends on the yarn you choose), a stitch mark­er, and a pair of scis­sors. We rec­om­mend using worsted weight or super bulky weight yarn for stur­dy bas­kets. You can even use a t‑shirt or strands of yarn from your stash for a unique look. Start with a mag­ic ring or cir­cle to cre­ate your bas­ket’s base. Make a slip stitch (sl st) to secure the ring. Cre­ate chains (ch space) for bas­ket han­dles and attach them to the sides.
