Another basket, this one is larger, about 10" across and 8" tall. The bottom side stitches were tighter and the silly thing had a pinched bottom look. But a little crafty blocking solved that. I really like this one, though I don’t like how I did the transition from base to sides. I like a softer look.

I actually quite like that edge for transition, looks great!
Looks great! Is it all yarn or did you use any stiffer inner core?

I just use several strands of yarn. The yarns are various weights so I mix and match until I get a good thickness. It’s a tight single crochet and hard on the hands. I go with the most thickness (4-6 strands) my hook will handle. And I have no idea what size hook it is, came with a thrift bunch of knitting needles.

Actually, I love the crispness of your transition to sides. They look amazing!
Love the multicolor/multi yarn vibe of this basket!
Looks excellently sturdy!
The colour combo, the edge stitching, the transition from base to sides, and the handles - everything is so neat, so well formed and elegantly proportioned. Very nice work.
Lovely. My cats would claim this immediately. Ha!
Both cats have been found in it. I made a kitten version, guess i need to make an adult version. I have crocheted kitty beds out of cut up fleece blankets and also used old wool shirts. It’s time for some new ones.
