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.

Finishing, Uses & Care:

• Trim and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle for a neat finish.

• Hang your organizer from a chunky wooden hook or a peg. It’s ideal for small items such as keys, mail, craft supplies, or small toiletries.

• To care for the basket, spot clean as needed or follow the yarn manufacturer's washing recommendations.

Tips & Variations:

• Adjust the ch-10 loop length to make a shorter or longer hanging loop for different hanging heights.

• Use a sturdier or doubled yarn if you plan to store heavier items, and consider a fabric lining for extra support.

• Experiment with color changes or stripes while building the triangle to create a decorative pattern.
