Shelly's Basket Pattern

You’ll be inspired to make several of these--leave them all natural or add bands of color. Start with an 8 inch slotted base and a few rows of twining on 1/2 inch flat stakes. Weave stop-start rows and finish off with 5/8 inch flat oval rims. What could be easier? Shelly’s Basket was designed ''out of necessity'' as a waste basket by a friend who enjoys basket making and is a ribbon-winning needleworker from Northern Illinois. She hones her skills at Basketcases, a wonderfully unique quilt shop and basket studio in Clare. Thanks for sharing a great basket, Shelly! Base: 8 inches square, Height 10 - 12 inches, Circumference 36 inches.
