Dip Edge Crochet Basket Pattern

This chunky basket is a round storage basket with a dark gray body and a bright moss yellow dip at the top, so it looks as if the edge had been dipped in paint. It has two handles for carrying and is made from thick blanket yarn with a 9 mm hook, so it works up quickly. The basket is about 14 inches (35.5 cm) wide and 6 inches high.

A 2-page easy pattern for a two-color round basket with handles, in chunky blanket yarn.
