Pattern is Japanese but fully charted using standard knitting and/or crochet symbols. For help using Japanese charted patterns, please visit the Japanese knitting & crochet group.

Translation requests can be made in this thread.

Easy to follow without knowing Japanese! The text in the box at top right is redundant, so don’t worry if you can’t read it - all the important stuff is in the chart. The entire basket is meant to be worked with two strands of yarn held together.
