Cut yarn, leaving a long tail (twice the bottom width of the triangle). Fasten off.

Basket Assembly:

• Secure the magic circle tail

  by knotting and weaving in ends.

• Fold the triangle into a basket shape:

  • Fold both corners toward the center so the right corner overlaps the left.
  • The long tail should be on the right side, underneath the right fold.

• Stitching the bottom:

  • Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and whip stitch across the bottom, ensuring all layers are secured.
  • At the left corner, use a running stitch to lightly attach the right fold to the basket’s body.
  • Reinforce the fold intersection with extra stitches for added sturdiness.

• Loop Finishing (Optional):

  Leave the loop as is, or wrap yarn around its base for a decorative tassel effect.
