Knitting pattern_ Basket for All Sorts

A basket that can be used for any purpose!
The great thing about it is that its size is variable, which means
you can choose the size yourself
(the pattern explains exactly how to do this).
Because of the knitting method, you don't need glue or plastic for stabilization.
It is always a very welcome little gift, with the advantage that it can't gather dust because you can wash it or simply fold it up
and store it temporarily in a drawer.

Material:
Leftover yarn of all kinds, even if it's only 5 g.
Knitting needles size 7
Silk ribbon

Pattern:
PDF format
The pattern is designed so that everyone can knit the basket.
All steps are described in detail and also documented with pictures.
