PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses.
Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.
This pattern begins with making a semicircle in color A. Then the back side of the basket is worked along the straight edge ending with making the handle. Color A is rejoined on the curved end of the semicircle to work the lower portion of the front. Color B is then joined to complete the front and cover the handle. The front side is 1 row lower than the back, so the items display properly.
