PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

• The basket is made using joined rounds for the bottom and a spiral for the sides
• The bottom of the basket uses half double crochet and the sides use and alternating single crochet and triple crochet to create the bobble
• For the bottom of the basket, the CH 2 at the beginning of each joined round counts as a stitch
• Between the bottom of the basket (which has an even number of stitches) and the sides, we will drop one stitch so that we have an odd number of stitches to do the alternating bobbles properly in a spiral
• While doing the sides of the basket, try to keep your SC after each TC tight to allow the bobble to really pop out and stay in place – in general, the tension of the sides should be fairly tight to keep the basket sides sturdier but focus especially on making sure the SC after each TC is tight
• The basket comes in 2 sizes, but is easily adaptable by adding/subtracting joined rounds on the bottom, or adding/subtracting spiral rows on the sides
• Stitch count for each round will be indicated in parentheses ( ) at the end of the round
