Have y'all created any patterns that expand on this pattern, like mentioned in the post? I didn't have any luck finding anything when I searched your site.

Also, any suggestions how to make this a little bigger...for those jumbo/over-sized coffee mugs? What could I add for another round or two?

Thank you so much!! 💓

Hi Annie. You're right! I actually never got around to sharing another project. Thank you for reminding me. I'll take a look tomorrow and see how another couple rounds would work. Jane

Hi Jeanne, thank you for the comment. Hmmm, I'm not sure which basket you're referring to, I looked over the post and I don't see an image of it.
