Knitted basket 'n balls

 

 

 

Cast on 20 stitch and garter stitch for about

10 or 11 'ridges' (1 ridge = 2 rows) in your choice of each colour.

You should have 10 sections.

 3, 2 3, 2.

Knit 2 lengths, and stitch together, leaving one side open.  (I kept the width side open.) Stuff lightly with washable wadding/stuffing. Stitch up remaining seam.

Sew (small tacking or backstitch) between each colour = quilted effect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a 2 base pieces, - (I winged this more or less) -
Measure or count the rows, not forgetting that you can stretch this slightly.  Stitch pieces together. 
Place inside and stitch to 'outside'.

  

I made a couple of handles. See top pic.
