- A color for the doors
- Bits of green and red to embroider the grass and the flowers.

edges meet the row of front loops on round 29. Chain 1 to turn and crochet 60 sc joining each stitch
with the corresponding front loop (60)

Before closing, we will do the edges. Chain 1 to turn the piece 90 degrees clockwise and crochet

5 sc along the side of the piece, working in the spaces between rows. When you reach the top edge, crochet 8
sc in the remaining loops of the foundation chain. Then chain 1 to turn the piece 90 degrees clockwise again and
crochet 5 sc along the other side of the piece, once again working in the spaces between rows.
Close and break the yarn, leaving a long tail to sew to the basket.
Assembly
- Sew the door to the basket

too!
