Hanging Strap

Place 3 stitch markers evenly around the top edge of the basket.
Using the basket colour yarn:

• Attach yarn with a sc at one stitch marker
• Ch until the length is double your desired hanging length
• Attach to the second stitch marker with a sl st. Fasten off and weave in ends
• Reattach yarn with a sc at the third stitch marker
• Ch until it is half the length of the first chain

Fasten off and cut yarn.
Fold the first (long) chain in half to form the hanger. Wrap the second (short) chain around the top to secure and create a loop. Adjust as needed so all sides are even. Tie securely and trim any excess yarn.

Finishing

Sew daisy or flower buttons of your choice onto the top of the basket and along the vines.
