Knit in the round with a circular needle.
When knitting in the round you’re always knitting the right side of your work.
I knit the basket using small needles to get a tight stitch, so it will stand up on it’s own.

I create this like I end a hat, which I’ve created a video for and I do it all with my circular cable needles.

End:
I used a crochet hook to sew the bottom onto the basket.
Weave in the ends.
No blocking necessary.
