Materials & Specifications

Yarn Requirements: 5-ply milk cotton yarn (Sport weight) in Red, Black, White, Gold/Yellow, and Light Peach.
Hook Sizes: 4.0 mm hook for double-stranded work (basket walls); 2.75 mm hook for single-strand detail appliques.
Skill Level & Format: Advanced Beginner; instant PDF download written in English using standard US crochet terms.
Double-Stranded Construction: Holding two strands of yarn together on a 4.0 mm hook gives the red and black basket walls the rigidity needed to stay upright.
Base-to-Wall BLO Transition: Crocheting in the Back Loop Only (BLO) around the outer round of the base creates a sharp 90-degree fold for a flat bottom.
Mid-Round Color Changes: Seamless yarn transitions between Red (suit), Black (belt), Red, and White (fluffy rim) around the basket circumference.
Applique Construction & Sewing: Crochet a separate rectangular gold buckle and stitch it onto the center of the black belt line.
