The design is suitable for beginner crocheter as only the basic stitch, that is single crochet stitch is used and is also explained. Single crochet stitch is mostly done through both loops, except in one row (explicitly emphasized). For the handle you can use any commercially bought handle you can find, I recommend that you use a soft one as it is easier to add it to the basket. In this pattern I used a piece od ska material, folded it and glued together and then added it to the basket. Simple, unique and affordable solution :)
Please read pattern instructions carefully, especially be careful when stitch needs to be placed into the SAME loop and when into the next. But the main advice you should follow is to make sure that the numer of stitches at the end of each row is as stated in the pattern. This ensures that circle increase (for the base of the basket) is even and sides are straight.
