Today I am sharing the pattern of my sturdy basket with you. You can never have enough baskets and they are fun to crochet. I used the long single crochet stitch to make my basket more sturdy. I also used a fairly small crochet hook relative to the thickness of the yarn. This creates a more dense and firm basket.

The dimensions of my basket are: approximately 12 cm high, diameter 12 cm.
