CROCHET BASKETS WITH BRAIDED PATTERN
PATTERN NOTES
1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch
2) Continuous rounds - the bottom part of this basket is worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.
3) CLOSED ROUNDS - the side of this basket is worked in closed rounds, which means that you will be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one with a slip stitch. When you reach the beg of row, make a slip stitch on top of first stitch and then continue working in stitches from the previous round. I would recommend you to close the rounds with an invisible join to have a perfect baskets.
4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.
5) This CROCHET BASKET is worked up as a one piece, starting from the bottom to top.

HOW TO CROCHET BASKETS WITH BRAIDED PATTERN
WRITTEN PATTERN
Crochet hook 5.5 mm
Make a magic ring. Work in spiral continues rounds, don’t close rounds with slip st.
Work centre st single crochets = waistcoat st.
R1: Ch1, 6sc in magic ring (8cssc)
R2: *2cssc in each st* repeat from * to * till end of round (16 cssc)
R3: *1cssc in next st, 2cssc in next st* repeat from * to * till end of round (24 cssc)
R4: *1cssc in next 2 st, 2cssc in next st* repeat from * to * till end of round (32 cssc)
R5: *1cssc in next 3 st, 2cssc in next st* repeat from * to * till end of round (40 cssc)
R6: *1cssc in next 4 st, 2cssc in next st* repeat from * to * till end of round (48 cssc)

R9: *1cssc in next 7 st, 2cssc in next st* repeat from * to * till end of round (72 cssc)
Close the last round with an invisible join – I would recommend you to use the end from magic ring (sew the end through the layer from magic ring to the last cssc stitch you just made). Cut the end and fasten off. Continue crocheting with the working yarn. Let’s make the baskets body!
BASKET’S BODY - SIDE
R1: ch2, 1hdc in each st around, work in 3rd loops of st row R9 (the 3rd st is hidden under the „V“ of sc st) The chain / the „V“ is nicely pushed to front and makes a beautiful chain around the bottom part.
R2: ch4, repeat till end of round (skip 2 st, 1tr in next 2 st, 1tr in skipped 2 st, these 2 st are OVER 2 st you made before), close the round with a slip st in 1st st at beg or round (18 X-crossing)
R3: ch4, skip 4 st at beg of round, X-crossing at beg of round (1tr in next 2 st, tr in skipped 3rd and 4th st at beg of round, these 2st are UNDER 2 st you made before),
repeat till end of round (skip 2 st, 1tr in next 2 st, 1tr in skipped 2 st, these 2 st are UNDER 2 st you made before),
X-crossing at the end of the round: tr in first 2 skipped st at beg of the round, tr in last 2 st at the end of the round, these 2 st are UNDER 2 st you made before), close the round with a slip st in 1st st at beg or round
R4: ch4, skip 4 st at beg of round, X-crossing at beg of round (1tr in next 2 st, tr in skipped 3rd and 4th st at beg of round, these 2 st are OVER 2 st you made before),
repeat till end of round (skip 2 st, 1tr in next 2 st, 1tr in skipped 2 st, these 2 st are OVER 2 st you made before),
X-crossing at the end of the round: tr in first 2 skipped st at beg of the round, tr in last 2 st at the end of the round, these 2 st are OVER 2 st you made before, close the round with a slip st in 1st st at beg or round
Repeat rounds R3 and R4 till you are satisfied with the height of your basket. I made 5 rounds with X-crossing.
The last round: 1 sl st in each st around. Close the round with an invisible join.
Cut the yarn and fasten off.
