BASKET DIRECTIONS
This Basket is very easy and quick to make.
The pattern uses only basic crochet stitches - single crochets!
The pattern was made with Bobilon 7-9 mm
Crochet hook: 8.00 mm.
Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners
SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)

The waistcoat stitch is basically the same as a standard single crochet stitch:
Step 1: Insert your hook into the next stitch of the previous round
To crochet waistcoat stitch you insert the hook into the lower V of the sc stitch of the previous round.
Step 2: Yarn over and pull through a loop
Step 3: Yarn over and pull through the two loops on your hook
This produces rows and rows of Vs, creating that stocking stitch knitted appearance.
To start of, pull the new yarn through the V of one of the stitches in the previous round. Make a loose chain and then work the waistcoat stitches in each stitch all around.
To finish the round, make a waistcoat stitch into the stitch before your joining chain. Gently pull the tail end of the joining chain out so that your work starts with the first proper waistcoat stitch. Make a final waistcoat stitch of the round into the stitch that is now empty. Close with a slip stitch made into the V of the first stitch of the round then fasten off.
1) A ch1 at begging of round doesn't count as a stitch throughout.
2) The project is crochet as a circle.
