This round basket is done in natural wicker and measures about 1/2″ wide and tall. (12mm wide and 11mm tall)

This is really a wicker cup, intended to hold lollipops in my daughter’s 1″ scale bakery. It could also hold a small potted plant, a jelly jar, tapered candles, or pens and pencils. In fact, I think it would make a great desk set, along with a blotter and a business card holder (could I weave a stapler???) This basket could definitely be in a 1/2″ scale scene, and is the only one I have made so far that I think could be in 1/4″ scene (as a bushel basket?) I will be posting a taller version that makes a nice flower vase as well.

This is a square serving basket woven with butterscotch thread over butterscotch spokes. It is about 1 3/8″ wide and 3/8″ high. (30mm square and 7mm high)

This is another one of my favorites, possibly because there are no lopsided handles to mar the view. It is a bit deep for a tray, and puts me in the mind of a casserole basket. I think it will take a 1″ pie nicely, and I have some Fimo cookies that would line up nicely inside. I have a sweet little checked “napkin” for the basket, but I like the weave so well, it hasn’t made it in there yet. Obviously, I need 4 more of these, at least!

This is an oval market basket woven in natural wicker. I made a heavier handle on this basket, making use of two spokes. It is 1 1/4″ long, 3/4″ wide, and about 1/2″ deep, with an additional 3/8″ handle. (33mm long, 20mm wide, and 12mm to rim, plus 10mm high handle)

Yikes! As I measure this basket for the post, I see that the depth has more of a “range” than I’d like to see. Truthfully, it has a depth of 10 to 12 mm, depending on where I measure. From a distance I can’t really tell, but the ruler doesn’t lie (sigh!) I am determined to make a better one right away!

This was intended to be a small market basket in 1″ scale, but seems suited to an 1/2″ scale bassinet as well. I definitely will try a similar pattern to make 1″ scale bassinet, once I figure out the hood. This one will probably end up full of flowers or bread.

This small, round fruit basket was woven in natural wicker. It is 3/4″ wide and 7/16″ high. The handle is 1/2″ tall, making the basket about 1″ tall overall. (20mm wide and 11mm high, plus 14mm tall handle)

As usual, the trim braid and handle gave me a bit of trouble, but I still like this little basket. I think the light color sets off the contents nicely (in this case small styrofoam balls colored to look like lemons and oranges.) I have since worked out a thinner braid to trim the small baskets, and I will try that on the next version of this basket.

I think this basket would make a sweet little Easter basket as well, and I will try it in a pastel color someday… The list of baskets I want to make grows longer!

This tiny round basket and lid are woven in butterscotch linen thread over walnut brown spokes. The base is 5/8″ wide and 5/16″ high. (16mm wide and 10mm high) The lid is simply a wider, shallower version at 3/4″ wide and 1/4″ high. (19mm wide and 6mm high)

I intended this to be a keep-sake basket for 1″ scale miniatures, but the base could easily be a 1/2″ scale miniature. I think with some teeny handles it would look just right. I like this basket and was proud of the tight weave. The lid was a bit of a tight fit, and I finally had to force myself to just stop messing with it!

This is a round storage basket in walnut brown. I worked in side handles from the linen thread, but they look a bit skimpy for the basket, I think. It measures 1 1/8″ wide and 1″ tall. (28mm wide and 22mm high)

I made several versions of this basket at first, as I think they will make terrific storage in my medieval castle. I figured the first experiments can end up in a dark corner of the larder/cellar! I have been working on other shapes recently, but when I get back to these, I will try for sturdier handles.
