Crochet Owl Basket Pattern Notes

• A ch1 at the beginning of the row does NOT count as a stitch.
• Continuous rounds - this basket is worked up in continuous rounds, meaning you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead, you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made since you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). A stitch marker or piece of yarn can be useful for marking the start or end of each round.
• Invisible Join - It is recommended to close the rounds with an invisible join to achieve a perfect basket.
• The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of each round’s/row’s instructions.
• This Crochet Basket is worked up as one piece, starting from the bottom to the top and then top down to the bottom.

Size: This is a one size pattern.

Bottom base: 15 cm
Length: 15 mm
