Materials Needed

• Hook: 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your basket. This will form the base of your basket.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the ring to tighten.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: (1 sc, increase) around. This means you will crochet 1 single crochet in the first stitch, then make an increase (2 sc in the same stitch) in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around. You should have 18 stitches.
5. Round 4: (2 sc, increase) around. Crochet 2 single crochets in the first two stitches, then increase in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around. You should have 24 stitches.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this pattern (3 sc, increase; 4 sc, increase; etc.) until you reach a total of 72 stitches. This will create the base of your basket.
7. Work Even: Once you have 72 stitches, work even in single crochet for 10 rounds. This will form the body of the basket.
8. Change Yarn Color: Switch to sandy beige yarn. This will create a lovely contrast at the top of your basket.
9. Round 15: Work in back loops only to create a textured ridge. Single crochet around the entire round.
10. Continue in Single Crochet: Work 5 more rounds in single crochet, maintaining the sandy beige color.
11. Finish: Complete your basket with a slip stitch to join the last round. Weave in all ends securely to finish your project.
