Technique Details

Sturdiness and durability of this geometric crochet basket is the result of combining coiled crochet technique with a tight waistcoat stitch.

If you have never crocheted over a coil, I recommend getting yourself acquainted with coiled crochet technique first. My Coiled Crochet Baskets with Handles (Pattern 305) would be a great place to start. Add it to your purchase, and get both patterns for only $4; that is 75% off on both patterns! Simply use coupon code LEARN2COIL309 at checkout. Note: Discount will only be applied if both Pattern 305 and Pattern 308 (the pattern you are currently viewing) are in cart.
