Crochet Bread Basket with Romantic Rose Fabric
Anleitung No. 604Basket bottom
Crochet 4 air stitches with Jute yarn and crochet hook size 7.0 mm, form a ring with one stitch. Continue crocheting in spirals, i.e. without closing every single round with a warp stitch. Mark the beginning of the rows with a coloured thread.
Crochet 8 firm stitches in the ring, then double each stitch.
In the next round double every 2nd stitch, then every 3rd stitch, every 4th stitch, etc. until the desired size of the bottom is reached. Then cut the Jute yarn and stitch the thread.
Tip: With the strong Jute yarn it is easier if you crochet only in the back stitch link. This also gives you a nice relief pattern
Side walls of the basket
Put on the beginning of the figure wire and crochet with pink Cotton yarn and crochet hook size 4.0 with firm stitches around the plate from Jute yarn . Crochet a firm stitch with cotton in each stitch from Jute yarn , crochet an air stitch between the firm stitches.
In the following rounds crochet the fixed stitches always between the fixed stitches of the previous round.
After 5 rounds cut the figure wire with a strong side cutter, but leave the pink Cotton yarn hanging.
Now crochet 2 rounds with Jute yarn and crochet hook size 7.0, then again 2 rounds with crochet hook size 7.0 and Cotton yarn.
At last crochet a round of firm pink stitches around the edge as a finish
Pull all threads inwards, fix the end of the figure wire under the bottom with hot glue.
