To make up
Tuck the top of the work inside the tub to completely enclose it and create the basket shape. Take a length of yarnB,andsewaroundtheline where the colour changes from yarn A to yarn B, through both layers; this will pull the ring of yarn B above the insert and tighten the fabric around the tub/card. The basket can then
be used either with the top cuff rolled out and down, or with it standing up for more depth.
