Crocheted Basket

Why buy fabric baskets when you can make your own just the colour and size you want it to be? 

I crocheted this basket for storing my little crafty knick knacks with yarn left over from a blanket project. 

The bottom was done in single crochet with 4 strands of yarn and the sides were done in the round in single crochet but 2 strands of yarn to get the ease. To make the handles, I skipped some stitches and made some extra chains. I used a 10mm hook and worsted weight yarn.
