The Super Sturdy Basket is an easy crochet pattern for a self-standing basket with handles, worked quickly in jumbo weight yarn for a firm, structured fabric that holds its shape all on its own.

Construction and Technique

• Worked in the round, bottom up, as one seamless piece
• Jumbo weight yarn crocheted at a tighter gauge than the label suggests creates a naturally stiff, stand-alone fabric
• Easy skill level with a quickly memorized round structure
• Stripe and colorwork variations are possible within the same construction
