Base

First, start your crochet basket with 9 mm cord by creating a magic ring:

1. Make 6 single crochets into a magic ring
2. Close the round as shown in the video

Next, begin increasing:

1. Round 2: Work 2 single crochets in each stitch (12 stitches total)
2. Round 3: Increase in every second stitch
3. Round 4: Increase in every third stitch
4. Round 5: Increase in every fourth stitch
5. Round 6: Increase in every fifth stitch

Meanwhile, try to distribute the increases evenly. For this reason, you should shift the starting point of each round. Otherwise, your work may form a hexagon instead of a circle.

Sides

Continue working in a spiral to form the sides of your crochet basket with 9 mm cord.

Crochet into the back loop only to create the horizontal stitch effect.

Keep going until you reach your desired height.

Finishing

Finish your work with a round of slip stitches for a clean decorative edge.

Join each round with a slip stitch and start the next with a chain stitch.

✨ Final touches

You can wrap the edge with cord or add wooden handles to your basket.

This will give your basket a unique and finished look.
