Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your own Cozy Textured Crochet Basket:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop.
   • Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create a slip knot.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet, or hdc).
   • Work 11 hdc into the magic ring.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-2. You should have 12 stitches.
3. Round 2:
   • Chain 2.
   • Work 2 hdc in each stitch around.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 24 stitches.
4. Round 3:
   • Chain 2.
   • *Hdc in the next stitch, 2 hdc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 36 stitches.
5. Round 4:
   • Chain 2.
   • *Hdc in the next 2 stitches, 2 hdc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 48 stitches.
6. Round 5:
   • Chain 2.
   • *Hdc in the next 3 stitches, 2 hdc in the next stitch; repeat from * around.
   • Join with a sl st. You should have 60 stitches.
7. Continue Increasing:
   • Continue this pattern, increasing the number of single hdc stitches between increases by one each round until the base reaches your desired size.
8. Work the Sides:
   • Once the base is the desired size, work even in hdc in each stitch around without increasing.
   • Continue until the basket reaches your desired height.
9. Finish Off:
   • Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail.
   • Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it.
   • Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
