This is a walnut brown round basket with a handle. The basket is about 1 1/8″ wide and 5/8″ tall. The handle is an additional 3/4″ tall, so overall it’s about 1 3/8″ tall. (23 mm wide by 16 mm deep, with a 20mm tall handle)

This is a very versatile basket that can be used for food, sewing notions, or any gift basket assortment. I think it would look terrific with a bow on the handle!

I think this is a nice basic basket and I was pleased with it overall. The handle is a little tricky for me still and I continue to practice, practice, practice!

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!
