Abbreviations:

sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
st = stitch

Instructions:

Foundation Round: Start with a magic ring. Ch 1 (does not count as a stitch), then work 6 sc into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight. (6 stitches)
Round 1: 2 sc in each st around. (12 stitches)
Round 2: *1 sc in the next st, 2 sc in the next st* repeat from * to * around. (18 stitches)

Round 5: *1 sc in the next 4 sts, 2 sc in the next st* repeat from * to * around. (36 stitches)
Rounds 6-12: sc in each stitch around for 7 rounds. (36 stitches each round) This creates the walls of the basket. Measure your height; it should be about 4 inches now.
Finishing Round: Sl st in the next st, fasten off and weave in ends with a tapestry needle.
Optional Decoration: If using a fabric/leather strip, sew or attach it around the top edge of the basket. This adds a nice finishing touch!

Finishing Tips:

Weave in all remaining ends to ensure a clean and finished look.
Consider blocking your basket by lightly steaming it to set the shape.
