Rounds 6-12: sc in each stitch around for 7 rounds. (36 stitches each round) This creates the walls of the basket. Measure your height; it should be about 4 inches now.
Finishing Round: Sl st in the next st, fasten off and weave in ends with a tapestry needle.
Optional Decoration: If using a fabric/leather strip, sew or attach it around the top edge of the basket. This adds a nice finishing touch!
