Notes
- This basket is made using double strands.
- Beginning chains do not count as stitches.
- Where asterisks appear, repeat the instructions between them.
- All “outside cups” are the same diameter, but I made 2 shorter for smaller items (such as paper clips).
- These cups can be lined with fabric before attaching them together. You can also insert tin cans or votive jars after attaching them. This would be handy if you needed to use it for items like sewing pins or scissors.
- I used hot glue to attach my cups and handle, but if you’ll be using it for heavy items I suggest sewing them together.
- I used 7 colors, but this project can be made in just one color also.

Finishing
- Attach outer cups together in a circle (do not attach the first to last cup yet) — This is easier if you place them around the center cup as you go to make sure you’re attaching them in the right place.
- After all cups are attached, wrap them around the center cup, attach each cup to the center cup, and then attach the first outer cup to the last outer cup.
- Attach the handle to the outside of the center cup, between gaps of outer cups.
- Hide all strings.
