Twenty to Thirty Minutes of Crocheting Plush Basket Bowls with Bernat Plush Big yarn is all it takes for this nine-round instruction basket. The basket is durable and will stand on its own without having to be faked.
The design will help close in the top for a fat bottom area with a braided looking top to it.
The original colour in the finished one at the beginning of the tutorial is called Bernat Plush Big in the colour called Fawn. The colour of the one made in the tutorial and shown above is Potpourri Prints.
