We’ve made a base of the basket: Button A with 15sc stitches around; Button B with15sc around.
Buttons are connected with the chain.
Next we will crochet 30 sections (pairs of rows ) or 60 rows, increasing the number of stitches (for 2 stitches) in each odd row (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th,
9th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th, 19th, 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th). Each even row will have the same number of stitches as it’s previous odd row.
The odd rows will be made towards ButtonA (this will be the facing side of the basket) ; the even rows will be made towards ButtonB.
All stitches in odd and even rows are to be made into the back loop.
Odd rows will be connected to Button A with a Sc (every 2 odd rows into 1 stitch (both loops) of the button A);
Even rows will be connected to Button B with a Sc (every 2 even rows into 1 stitch (both loops) of the button B)
