Crochet Basket with Macrame Cord
You’ll need:
Macramé Cord (3mm);
Crochet Hook 9 mm;
Stitch markers.
Notes
Use a stitch marker on the first stitch of each round (for rounds 1-8), for me this is crucial to keeping track of where you are.
Go for 22 rounds as that is the height shown in the photo, keep going if you want a taller basket!
