Pattern Correction & Tips

• Correction: If your circle “ripples” (too many increases), reduce increases in subsequent rounds for a flat base.
• Tip: Use plush or super bulky yarn for best coverage and dimension.
• Tip: Match basket width and height precisely using your tape measure.
• Tip: Use glue for easy, secure flower attachment; sewing works well if you prefer a non-glued option.
• Tip: For structural integrity, the wire handle is recommended, especially if the basket will carry heavier items.
