Use two balls of Bernat Blanket Extra, a jumbo weight yarn, to knit a plush storage basket. Work the base from the center out using evenly spaced increase stitches to form a stocking stitch circle, then knit up the sides in-the-round with easy garter stitch. Create the handles using the i-cord technique and attach them to the basket where desired. The thick yarn makes it easy to knit up a seamless basket in no time.
