Knitting Dragonflies

Coin purse that I made, this was simple and fun. Using the crochet basket pattern, except keep going up on the sides until you can gather it in your hands, then I added a row of sl stitch around, (to reinforce). If the original hole at the beginning of the bottom was too big, just grab the tail and stitch around it, pulling it tight, then backstitch to hold. Then made a tie by using the chain stitch, I threaded it, in and out around the top and actually keep chaining until it was as long as I needed it. Then find a bead with a hole big enough to put the tie through, to use to close it. (this was the hardest part, finding a bead with the right size hole) Knot the ends together on the tie, and fill with change. Here are some more crocheted baskets. I seem to still be in my "blue" mode. I have to consciously pick out other colors. Blue=sea, sky, and flowers.Blue is calming. It can be strong
