The Yarn That’s Perfect For This Basket

It is a medium weight yarn but works up very sturdy when held together two skeins at a time for this basket.

With two strands of yarn join yarn on top of basket (you can pick the position as long as its even) and chain 4 onto basket.
Row 1: Chain 2, Turn, DC in the next 4 ST.
