MAGIC CIRCLE
When piece is worked in the round, start with this technique to avoid holes in the middle (instead of ch-ring): Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the index finger to make a loop. Hold the loop with left thumb and middle finger, place the yarn over left index finger. Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull yarn through loop, work 1 ch, then work dc around the loop. When the desired no of dc have been reached, pull the yarn end to tighten the loop. Fasten the yarn end at the back. Continue to work in the round in a circle.
WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE
After last dc on the round, continue to next round with 1 dc in next dc (= first dc from previous round). NOTE: Insert a marker at the beg of round between last dc and 1st dc on round, move the marker upwards when working.
INCREASE TIP
Inc 1 st by working 2 dc in next dc.
DECREASE TIP
Dec 1 dc by working 2 dc tog as follows: * Insert hook in next dc, get yarn , repeat from -* one more time, make 1 YO and pull yarn through all 3 sts on hook.
BASKET
Worked in the round in a circle. Start by making a MAGIC CIRCLE - read explanation above - at the bottom of basket with light beige on hook size 4 mm.
ROUND 1: Work 8 dc in the magic circle. Read WORK IN THE ROUND IN A CIRCLE above.
ROUND 2: Inc 1 dc in every dc - Read INCREASE TIP above = 16 dc.
ROUND 3: * 1 dc in next dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 24 dc.
ROUND 4: * 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 32 dc.
ROUND 5: * 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 40 dc.
ROUND 6 (and then on every even numbered round): Work 1 dc in every dc.
ROUND 7: * 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 48 dc.
ROUND 9: * 1 dc in each of the next 5 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 56 dc.
ROUND 11: * 1 dc in each of the next 6 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 64 dc.
ROUND 13: * 1 dc in each of the next 7 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 72 dc.
ROUND 15: * 1 dc in each of the next 5 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 84 dc.
ROUND 17: * 1 dc in each of the next 6 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 96 dc.
ROUND 19: * 1 dc in each of the next 7 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 108 dc.
ROUND 21: * 1 dc in each of the next 8 dc, inc 1 dc , repeat from -* the entire round = 120 dc.
Then work 1 dc in every dc until basket measures approx. 16 cm vertically. When the last dc on the last round has been worked, move the marker to the 12th dc from hook (on the right side of the last dc, end of round = mid front of head). Do not cut the yarn.
HEAD
Continue working 1 dc in each of the next 12 dc, there are now 24 dc in total counted from the st with marker. Now work the head in the round over these 24 sts as follows: Turn the basket so that st with marker is towards you, work 1 dc in this dc (this st is now 1st dc on round, move the marker upwards), continue with 1 dc in each of the next 23 dc = 24 dc on round. Move the marker upwards when working. Then work 1 dc in every dc for 5 more rounds (= 6 rounds in total). Then dec as follows:
ROUND 1: * 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc, dec 1 dc - READ DECREASE TIP above , repeat from - the entire round = 20 dc.
ROUND 2: * 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, dec 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 16 dc.
ROUND 3: * 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc, dec 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 12 dc.
ROUND 4: * 1 dc in next dc, dec 1 dc , repeat from - the entire round = 8 dc.
ROUND 5: Work all dc tog 2 by 2 = 4 dc, cut the yarn. Sew the last 4 dc tog with yarn end.
