🧺 How To Make This Basket (Step-by-Step):
-
Begin with a Flat Base:
Work in rounds, increasing evenly to build a sturdy circular foundation. Use tight single crochets for structure. -
Form the Walls:
Shift to back-loop-only stitches for the first round of the sides — this creates a sharp, clean edge between base and wall. -
Build Height Evenly:
Continue working upwards with single crochets. You can change colors midway to create visual interest. -
Shape and Finish:
After reaching your desired height (~8–10 cm), fasten off and shape the basket by hand. Steam blocking helps set the shape. -
Use it Anywhere:
Perfect for holding newborn essentials, or even for your own craft tools!
