Hi all! Has anyone seen a pattern for a crocheted basket large enough to use as a laundry basket? Doing rehab and granddaughter thinks I have time to make her one...lol any help would be wonderful. Thanks!

How much laundry are we talking here? I have only seen baskets mostly tote size, or yarn basket size. Wondering if google would have something?
Good luck kiddo!!!!!!!!!!

If I can find a large one, I am assuming I can make it larger...maybe, not real bright these days, too much medicine!

Helen, I ran across this free basket pattern, made into a pdf for ya, perhaps you can work with this to make up your basket?

Tried to upload the pdf, says too big, so asking you to PM me, so I can send it to ya. I think this is the answer to your search.
