Trick or Treat Basket

Halloween is nearly upon us, so of course we all need a spooky basket to collect our trick or treat sweets in. This trick or treat basket is knit in the round from the bottom up, in almost one piece. A variety of cables and textures result in it being a satisfying and interesting project, ready for Halloween trick or treating. The seed stitch handle is the only thing that is knitted separately (flat) and attached at the end. The finished basket has a diameter of 14 cm (5.5 inch), equivalent to a circumference of 44 cm (17.3 inch), and a it measures 12cm (4.7 inch) from bottom to brim, so there's plenty of room for your Halloween haul.

To make the basket, you'll need about 40g of DK yarn, 4 mm double-pointed needles, a tapestry needle for weaving in the ends, and unless you are one of those magic people who can just rearrange stitches on needles like sorcery, a cable needle is very handy. Skills required: casting on and joining in the round, knitting, purling kfb, cabling.
