This round crochet basket pattern is a one-skein project that makes a beautiful and practical way to organize your home. It can serve many purposes depending on your needs.
You can use it as a fruit basket in your kitchen. Or how about using it as a yarn bowl while crocheting?
Since the yarn used is quite thick and a smaller hook is used than recommended, the basket holds its shape really well, making it perfect for home decor as well. The baskets can also be nested together for easy storage when not in use.

Round 4: Pull up the loop on your hook just a tad, WITHOUT making a turning chain, directly work (2dc, ch2, 1 sc) in the next ch-2 space and each ch-2 space across to the end, sl st to the first dc, turn. ——-18 (21) repeats
Repeat Round 4 two more times and turn. The following rounds will be worked on the outside without turning at the end of rounds.
