Handmade rope baskets

I tried rope baskets before this is my forth basket. I made this for my eldest daughter. She picked the colours. It is made of nylon materials so it is washable when dirty. it takes awhile to made and you need to use strength pulling the strings every stitch. As I was making it I learnt a way how so I kept all the way that way. I made another one and it looks neater using the last technic that I learnt.The black and white it very stiff cause it is worked hard and tight, the other white one is slightly softer. You need a hook as well to make these baskets. There is a lady that has two videos on how to make these on you tube.  Here are the two baskets.  The photo came a bit wonky but the finished product is good.

Rope basket

My daughter needs a basket for her keys so as usual I searched for a rope basket. I found a few that I like. I decided to try a few and after unpicking and unpicking because I started to make it round then unpicked to make it oblong then square in the end I ended up with a circle base. I decided to make one whatever it will look like it won't be perfect after my first try anyway. Well guess what my daughter liked it so I will make it larger with big opening since it is to put her keys in it. I made it out of  plastic rope and neon nylon rope and a hook. I didn't do it exactly like the tutorial that I watched but same technic. Now I see where I went wrong and I will try my best to do better. Here is a picture of my basket.
