I remember these, but I don't remember how to do it. It'd be a great thing for my dd. Hope someone else remembers how to do it.

I've made fabric strip baskets as an adult. The fabric strips were about an inch wide and I crocheted them with a big plastic hook (size P?).
Here's some info on rugs (when I first started I thought baskets were easier than rugs because I had a hard time not making then ends curl up, so when I let them curl it made a basket shape).
