I have two craft fairs coming up and I thought I would make my display a little more interesting. I found yarn that was similar to my brand color and went to the dollar store for some plastic baskets. Here is how I covered the baskets to make them look prettier for my craft table. This is just a general post not a specific pattern, it has not been tested by other crafters. Feel free to leave a question if you get stuck, I am happy to help.

Using Medium Weight yarn and a size 4 hook. Count the number of slots on the side of the basket. Mine had 18 slots on the lengthwise side of the basket. Multiply by 2 and add 4. So for a total of 40.
Chain 41 (add 1 to your number from previous step)
In 2nd chain from hook, sc. Sc down length of chain [40]
Count the slots on the widthwise side of the basket, in my case there were 10 slots. Multiply by 2 and add 4. So 24. Crochet 24 rows of single crochet. Place basket on top of rectangle and see if it is large enough. Sometimes row height doesn’t always work out so you might need to add a row or two, if so, stitches can be decreased later.

Turn work 90 degrees and single crochet down the side of the work, you will need 24. Turn work and single crochet down foundation chain for 40 stitches. Go up the other side for 24 stitches and then across the top for 40 stitches.
Slip stitch into first stitch. Create a standing double crochet in the same stitch as the slip stitch or chain 3, whichever you prefer. Double crochet around [128].
Slip stitch into the top of the standing double crochet or chain 3. Create a standing double crochet 0r chain 3. In the next stitch, front post double crochet. In the next stitch double crochet. Follow this pattern for the rest of the round fpdc, dc. The last stitch will be a fpdc.
Repeat round 2 more times

Now time to attach to the basket. Single crochet around slots in basket. Insert hook into slot and yarn over, pulling up a loop. You will have two loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through both loops to complete the single crochet. Put two stitches in each slot. When you get the to corner, single crochet in 4 stitches without going through slots. Continue down the sides, leaving four stitches in each corner.
