Elegant Bubble Stitch Basket

[brendaKbrown]

Once again, no picture! If anyone makes this, though, please feel free to post a picture, I'd appreciate it. I came up with this idea because of a blind friend that I wanted to make an Easter basket for. I wanted it to be nice and have some texture. I sat down and came up with this and loved it so much that I made several others. when done in white, it looks as if the sides are made of cotton balls!

I hope I did this basket justice and excuse any mistakes I may have made. I weaved beads in the eyelet round after it was done. I think you did a great job and I love this basket. I needed something to put an arrangement I am making in and this is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this pattern. You are awesome!!

I started this one, and then got my shawler pattern and had to set it aside; It's so cute I'll definitely be finishing it up once this shawl is done!
