Spots for basket These will be seen on with a needle once made. For this reason, make sure you leave a long tail. You will see these do not all have rows as some are too small or do specific stitches mentioned to create the shape.

Once you have enough of each spots secure with a needle. Ensure there is enough space between and ensure you are changing the shapes and positioning frequently. I weaved the tails into the inside of the basket to ensure there are no loose threads on the inside of my basket. You may be able to see the black yarn on the inside but that’s okay!
