Upcycle your old t-shirts with this adorable basket! But first, there are a few things you need to know.

1. You can make t-shirt yarn following a tutorial found on the internet. Here is a good photo tutorial: http://www.molliemakes.com/diy-fashion-2/how-to-make-t-sh...

2. For this pattern, I recommend cutting t-shirts in 1 in. strips. You can cut wider strips for a larger or sturdier basket, but you will want to use a larger hook.

3. T-shirts vary in weight, so all measurements are approximate. Using a larger hook will result in a floppier basket; a smaller hook will make a sturdier basket.
