Bicycle basket dimensions?

Question

I have an Everyday Kensington 26" womens comfort bike and I'm going to weave a square basket for it. Unfortunately it's at my dads house and I won't be able to get it for another month or two.
What are the largest dimensions I can use to make the basket? How wide, tall, long? This basket needs to be as tall as possible. My main concern is the height so it doesn't touch the front wheel or sit too high above the handlebars. 
Help please?

Go to Walmart or wherever you bought the bike. Find a similar bike and find out if your measurements for the basket will work.

You haven't given this very much thought. When you start a project the first thing you have to do is to take measurements. You are expecting that there may be someone who is willing to do that work for you. Are you willing to pay someone to do your work? Next, do you know anything about bike baskets? Have you ever made one before? Do you have any idea about how you will attach it to the bike? How many baskets are you prepared to make before you arrive at a suitable design? The only way you will succeed is by having the bike on hand so that you can take your own measurements  yourself.

First think through how you will be attaching the basket to the bicycle, as that may affect the way you construct it.

Then I think you really need to measure the bike, although that may slow things down. Think of things like making sure the basket will not foul the lights or the brake or gear cables.
