Pattern Instructions
This pattern is written and charted using standard US crochet terminology.
Techniques used:
The pattern starts off with a magic ring and is worked in the round,
in general, chain 1 is required after completing a round, when using the same yarn and color for the next round,
if it is your choice to change color, then in general, you would join with a slip stitch on top of the starting chain stitch after the last stitch is worked for the round.
Working in ends as you go is my best practice, but it's all up to you and your choice when completing a project.
Step by Step
.
Make the handle.
Row 1
Chain 32, 2 hdc into 1st chain, 1 hdc into next 31 st(s) till the end of the row, 2 hdc into last chain st, continue along back on the bottom of the chain just worked, 1 hdc into next 31 st(s) till the end of the row,
Row 2
Join into the 1st of 2 hdc stitches from the row before, ch2 counts as first hdc, 1 hdc into the same stitch, 2 hdc stitches into next hdc. 1 hdc into the next 31 sts, until the last 2hdc from the previous row, 2 hdc into the next 2 sts, 1 hdc into the next 31 sts, st(s) till the end of the row, join with sl into starting ch, finish off color.
Finish off, work in ends, the handle is now complete.
Joining the handle.
Use a yarn needle and yarn and join one of the short ends of the completed handle strip to the top of the basket, with some simple stitches, finish off, and work in ends, do the same for the other end of the strip, to the opposite side of the basket, finish off, and work in ends.
Optional: Add border around basket top and handle
Join yarn with a slip stitch into the second stitch from the handle on the basket rim,
ch2 counts as first hdc, 1 hdc into each stitch along the rim of the basket until the handle is reached,
continue the hdc stitches into each stitch up along the handle, until the rim of the basket has been reached,
1hdc back into the basket rim stitches, continue along until the starting ch2, join with slip stitch in staring chain, finish off, and work in ends.
Repeat this for the other side of the handle and basket rim.
