how to crochet a pen holder basket

So, what else can one crochet you ask? Well a pen holder of course! I had some organic cotton yarn left over from the recent sweater I knit for Evan...which I have yet to post about here...so why not make some nifty knick knacks right? I put my amigurumi crochet experience to good use here by crocheting in the round until I got the desired diameter and then just went all the way up in single crochet till I completed the desired height, then I folded my little crochet basket down, added a circular piece of cardboard inside for sturdiness and voila! With all the yarn I have left over I can still make 10 more of these...or perhaps a bigger basket :)
