Bread baskets

Not so long ago I went to a store called Hobbii, which is a yarn store. There I bought some ribbon yarn because I wanted to try to crochet a bread basket. I used the recipe from Hobbii, which can be found on their website Hobbii.dk. I am not totally happy with the end-result, I think they are a bit wobbly, so I might have to re-do them at some point.
