Trick or Treat Basket

Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by crafting your very own spooky trick or treat basket? This delightful project is perfect for collecting all your Halloween sweets. Our trick or treat basket is skillfully knit in the round from the bottom up, creating a seamless experience that results in a charming and functional piece. Featuring a variety of intricate cables and engaging textures, this project is both satisfying and interesting, making it a must-have for your Halloween festivities.

The basket boasts a diameter of 14 cm (5.5 inches), translating to a generous circumference of 44 cm (17.3 inches). It measures 12 cm (4.7 inches) from the bottom to the brim, providing ample space for your Halloween haul, whether you're gathering candy, goodies, or small treats. The only element knitted separately is the stylish seed stitch handle, which is crafted flat and attached to the basket at the end for easy carrying. With this project, you'll bring not just a functional item to your Halloween celebrations but also an enjoyable knitting experience.

To create this enchanting basket, you will need approximately 40g of DK yarn, a set of 4 mm double-pointed needles, a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends, and a cable needle for those intricate cabling techniques. This pattern requires intermediate skills, including casting on, joining in the round, knitting, purling, knitting front and back (kfb), and mastering cabling techniques.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to enhance your skills, this spooky basket pattern is perfect for you. Get ready to showcase your handiwork this Halloween while delighting in the fun of crafting a personalized basket for all your trick-or-treating adventures. Happy knitting!
