For those who knit a lot, you all know you need several knitting baskets.

I found this excellent tutorial on Youtube of how to make a knitting/ storage basket in 8 minutes.

There are no zippers involved and all you embroiderers can have a great time further customizing this project.

I cant tell you enough how easy this is going to be.

You just fold right sides together, pressing with your fingers.

Then you cut the triangle piece off.

Now if you have a surger, you may want to surge this step.

The photo below is the surged edge you just cut.

This is probably the quickest most satisfying project I have ever made.

I had 11 placemats so I ended up making a basket out of all of them.

They are going into my gift closet because they fit the criteria of what really makes a great gift.

homemade with love, cute, functional, useful, and downright adorable.
