Red Heart Comfort #4, Purple Shimmer. I tried to catch the shimmer. So glad my gf liked her gift 💜

If you're up to trying this pattern, let me know how it goes. Crocheting the bowl is easy. This is a Koala Knits and Knacks pattern. Mine came out heavy and floppy, and I used the whole ball of yarn. Apparently you can make two of these "small" baskets with one skein. I used the whole skein. I thought they would be great gifts. I used the same yarn and hook. The tutorial was great! I remade it 3 times, and then exchanged the double crochets for single, and now it's smaller but looks and feels worse. It's beautiful yarn. It's heavy, will not form a shape, or stand up as in the last pic. Any advice would be great, thanks 😊 😵‍💫

So I feel into a rabbit hole over here. I might need help to get out. If you’ve been here lately, please recommend good yarns at extremely good prices

I’m using red heart comfort number four, purple shimmer. You can see the sparkles better in person than in the photo.
