Eyelet Home Decor baskets, set of 3 (crochet)


Hello!

I made these up for my mom's new house. I think they'll be a nice little something either for the bath, office, or wherever!

I used Red Heart Super Saver yarn. I chose this yarn because it has some stiffness and a little fuzz look to it, no need to felt. I also used a 4.00 mm crochet hook.

Use a stitch marker so that you'll mark the end of your first round and for each round thereafter!


To make the small bowl:

Chain 2 then make 6 sc in the first chain made.
Then put 2 sc stitches in each of the existing sc.
Then we make the standard circles......
2 sc in next stitch followed by 1 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2
sc in next stitch followed by 2 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 3 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 4 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 5 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 6 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
for the medium size basket:
2 sc in next stitch followed by 7 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 8 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
for the large basket:
2 sc in next stitch followed by 9 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 10 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
2 sc in next stitch followed by 11 sc in the next sc. Repeat this step 6 times
Next:
sc in each sc to a height that meets the 2nd knuckle of your index finger (about 2 inches high)
ss to join round.
Create Eyelets:
(note: continue with same yarn for the eyelets and top edge or change color here for a 2 tone)
Chain 4, skip one sc then dc in next stitch. then dc, ch, skip 1 for the remainder of the circle, join with a ss
To end:
dc then sc in each chain 1 space around. Join with a ss to finish!
