Recycled Tape Mini Baskets

Get the look of crocheted tape baskets with knitting instead! These adorable little baskets are perfect as flower girl baskets, but are also tough enough for an Easter egg hunt or trick or treat tote, or perfect for display as they are or holding a tiny succulent.

Instructions are for recycled tape yarn for eco-friendly sturdiness but you can knit them in any yarn you like, just alter the needle size accordingly!

The baskets are knit all in one piece with no seams, so you only ever have two ends to sew in, at the start and the end.

NOTE: All instructions are for circular needles and magic loop, but obviously the whole thing can be knitted on double pointed needles if you prefer. For magic loop you'll need 25.5" / 65cm minimum, but 31.5 / 80cm is easier (and thus recommended).

Finished dimensions: Diameter/width: 11.5cm / 4.5" Height: 11.5cm / 4.5"

Time required: 60-90 minutes

Difficulty: Easy to intermediate (knowledge of knitting in the round with magic loop or on double pointed needles)
