So funny, I just did a croc&et basket tutorial video with t-shirt yarn. That stuff is a pain to work with and I have been crocheting for over 40 years. I love my end basket but I think my next one will be with regular yarn. Oh and by the way if you pull for beginning tail you can close the hole and if not weave the tail back around the ring and then pull it(I see you figured that out). Also if you work fully in the round you would not have the line up the back, you can see what I mean on my basket video or my yarn bowl video. Your basket looks great.
You're doing great! I have crocheted baskets before, and part of the difficulty is actually how tight the stitches are because you need some rigidity to the cloth. The stiffness is accomplished by using a hook that is a bit small for the yarn.
This is how I feel as a knitter trying to crochet 😂

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense, actually, about the smaller hook size for the basket fabric.
