This charming and functional square basket is crocheted with shimmery nylon cord, which gives it structure and an elegant metallic sheen. Begun with a simple square bottom, the basket sides are worked in an easy spiral. Doubled chains serve as handles, and are gathered with a wooden button at the top.
