I think this basket would look wonderful in your personal bathroom or in anyone guest bathroom. I am going to crochet a couple of these to use in my home. I will see if I can figure if there are any problems with the pattern and if I run into any, I will be happy to post any corrections I find.

as one starts withe the 31 st. the row's are going horizontal- the picture show's the row's going vertical- if one has the fold line is going across horizontal the fold line is in the wrong place- if one goes across the ends then the horizontal and vertical row's do not line up going in the same direction.
