granny basket

granny basket

I love this color, it's sunny day in Loops & Threads Charisma. I used it and a size 8 hook to make this granny basket for my son's big lego (and spiderman). I used this pattern from Pickles, I did an extra round for the bottom to make it just a little bit wider, it really wasn't necessary though, the basket stretches a lot.

The basket forms so quickly, it only took me close to an hour to finish this and stuff it with lego with help from the boy.
