Crochet Pine Cone Basket

Materials:

Worsted weight cotton yarn (approximately 100 yards)
Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge:

14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet. To measure gauge, make a small swatch of single crochet (about 4x4 inches) and count how many stitches you have in 4 inches. Adjust hook size if necessary to meet gauge.

Abbreviations:

ch = chain
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch)

Instructions:

Base: Start with a magic ring.

Round 1: 6 sc in the magic ring. Pull the magic ring tight. (6 sc)

Round 2: Inc in each stitch around. (12 sc)

Round 3: *1 sc, inc* around. (18 sc)

Round 4: *2 sc, inc* around. (24 sc)

Round 5: *3 sc, inc* around. (30 sc)

Round 6: *4 sc, inc* around. (36 sc)

Sides:

Round 7: 1 sc in each stitch around. (36 sc)

Repeat Round 7 until the basket measures approximately 5 inches tall. You can adjust this height as you wish.

Finish: Slip stitch to the first sc of the last round to join. Cut yarn and pull through the last loop. Weave in all ends using the tapestry needle for a clean finish.
Blocking: Optional but recommended. Wet the basket slightly and reshape it, allowing it to dry in the desired shape.

Finishing Tips:

Make sure to keep your tension even for a uniform look.
Feel free to embellish the basket with a ribbon or other decorative elements if desired.

Optional Variations:

Change the yarn color for a seasonal look or to match your home décor.
Add a lining if you plan to use it for items that may need extra support.
