If you’re a little adventurous like me, working with yarn is sometimes not enough. Today was one of those times. On a recent visit to Harbor Freight. I picked up two rolls of jute…

My purpose at the time was to tie up some dishcloths, but then I decided to make this.
It’s just a wee little basket about 4″ wide and seven rows high. This would be just right to fit around a jelly jar, fill with loose change or those paperclips and miscellaneous items in your office.
Just begin with a foundation and then hdc around for four rows. Building the walls is done by changing to sc around, so after you get it the width, you want slip stitch to end that row, then sc through both front and back loops around. Work continuous around until you get the height you want, slip stitch to the next stitch, and finish off tucking in any loose pieces of jute.
Jute is not easy to work and tough on the hands, but small projects like this can still be completed and used.
Hope you enjoyed this brief tutorial.
Have a great day in Christ our Lord!
