This is an awesome pattern and so useful, but am I misreading or is it only 22 rounds deep?
Hi, Sally, I tried to count the rows from the bottom ridge to the top and I counted 25rows, but I imagine you can add rows as you feel the need and have sufficient yarn to do it.
Thanks for this pattern! I think for some I’m going to use plarn so I can use them for more utilitarian purposes.
I counted the rows between the blo row and the 4 rows of the handle and counted 20 rows. So, I have changed the pattern to reflect the new row count. It’s going to be a nice Christmas gift for a friend of mine and eventually a nice basket for me, too. By the way, I did mine in an ombre from Red Heart called Pink Camo. It is beautiful! Thanks for a nice pattern. May I suggest you update this pattern to reflect the correct row count. I noticed I’m not the only one who commented on it.
is it calling for 340 yards of each color and what is the correct number of rows?
Hi Tracy, are you referring to this pattern (hanging basket) in particular? This pattern uses 420 yards of just one color yarn, and the number of rounds are shown — up to 27.
