NOTES
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
Use 3 yarns together (1 x each colour) as if they were single yarn (= triple yarn) and
work your basket in spiral dc, i.e. do not close every round with 1 sc; PM in 1st dc of round to make your work easier and, across the working, move the M upwards
POINTS USED
Chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet.
INSTRUCTIONS
Base
Using triple yarn, shape a magic ring.
1st round: 1 ch (do not count as 1st st.), 6 dc inside the ring; pull the end of triple yarn and tighten the ring.
2nd round: 2 dc in each st. [12 dc]
3rd round: (1 dc in next st., 2 dc in next st.) 6 times. [18 dc]
4th round: (1 dc in each of next 2 sts., 2 dc in the next st.) per 6 times. [24 dc]
5th round: (1 dc in each of next 3 sts., 2 dc in the next st.) per 6 times. [30 dc]
6th round: (1 dc in each of next 4 sts., 2 dc in the next st.) per 6 times. [36 dc]
7th round: (1 dc in each of next 5 sts., 2 dc in the next st.) per 6 times. [42 dc]
Sides
From 8th to 13th round: 1 dc in each st. of the round. [42 dc in each round]
From next round, work in net st., closing every round with 1 sc.
14th round: 1 ch (do not count as 1st st.), 1 dc in same base st. of ch, (3 ch, skip 1 st., 1 dc in next dc) 20 times, 3 ch, skip 1 st., 1 sc in 1st dc of the round, 1 sc until 2nd ch of 1st arch [21 3-ch-arches]
15th round: 1 ch (do not count as 1st st.) 1 dc in same arch, (3 ch, 1 dc in next 3-ch-arch) 21 times, do not work last dc in last repetition and work 1 sc in 1st dc of the round. Cut and tie off the thread.
Using the darning needle, hide the ends of triple yarn (cast-on and bind off) through the sts., on WS.
