Hi Nina, I used acrylic for the basket in the photo, but you can really use any type of material that you want.

I didn’t do anything special to make it stand up. It stands up on its own. If yours isn’t standing up though, you can try to starch it.

This is Beautiful, I used Easter colors and I went with the larger size. I added Trim and a bow for girls and I added Angry Bird eyes and Beak for boys, People loved them and wanted to buy them from me, and My grandchildren loved this for Easter
Thank-You so Much for this pattern

I made this basket, finished off the top with a scallop stitch. I used 100% cotton peaches n cream yarn. Then I strched it. Will be using it for a floergirl basket in my daughters wedding. When she decides her coloros, we will weave thin satin ribbon through the basket. It was so easy and turned out so cute. Thank you for the pattern.

Hi Linda, it is a soft basket since it is crocheted. It’s not as sturdy as a regular wicker baskets would be, so that may be why it seems to lay down when you put things in it. If you’d like you can line the inside with cardboard or some other solid material to give it more strength.

With doing the basket, if I put the handle on it doesnt seem to make all the sides stand up. I think I am doing something wrong. All I have is a hande and the other side will lay down and it wont hld the eggs.

You can start by attaching the yarn end to the end of the work where you want the start your sewing. You can start with a slip knot, but you probably don’t need it for what you’re doing. It’s like modified sewing rather than crocheting.
