Materials

• US G (4.00 mm) crochet hook
• Worsted/ medium/ size #4 weight yarn

  • 1.8 oz. / 111 yards
  • I used Bernat Super Value
• Yarn needle

Gauge

• 4″ = 16 scs x 16 rows

Terms/ stitches

• Magic circle
• RS: right side (side that faces out)
• Ch: chain
• St: stitch
• Slip st: slip stitch
• Sc: single crochet

Notes

• This pattern is worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st from the last st.
• The ch 1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch.
• Following the base, sc into the back loop only.
• If you don’t work this pattern in the back loop only, it might end up leaning. You can block the finished item to make it lean less.
• This pattern is worked from the bottom up
• All of the stitches in this pattern are single crochets, because of this the sides portion (where all the color changes are) only tells you how many stitches to do in what color, this is what the number in the parentheses means.
• Color A is dark blue, color B is yellow, and color C green.
• The repeat on this is 16. If you want to make this basket larger, keep increasing the base as written here and make sure your final row has a stitch count that is divisible by 16.

Finished measurements

• Height: 5.75″ (sides), 6.5″ (handles pulled up)
• Diameter: 7.25″

Sides:

Note:

• Every row of the sides are worked into the back loop only.
• Every stitch in the sides portion of the pattern is a single crochet, because of this the directions only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B, etc…) and the number in the parentheses then tells you how many single crochets to make.
• Following the ch 1, the first st is worked into the same st as join.
