For those who like to crochet loosely – this is the project for you – since it’s tapestry crocheted with a large hook and loose stitches. With tapestry crochet, one yarn is single crocheted, while another is carried. Colors are switched while 2 loops of the unfinished single crochet stitch are still on the hook. Instructions and graphs are included for right-handed and left-handed crocheters.

The basket shrinks and felts like magic in a washing machine. The photo shows the basket before it is felted on the left - then after felting on the right. The beauty of felted tapestry crochet is that pattern is visible on the inside and the outside. For more information about tapestry crochet, please look at my web page.
