Step 1: Crochet the Basket Base

1. Create a Magic Ring

Begin with a magic ring to create the base. This technique forms a tight, seamless starting point for a flat circular base.

2. Crochet in Rounds

1. Round 1: Start with 8 single crochets (SC) into the magic ring. Tighten the ring to close, then slip stitch to join.
2. Round 2: Work 2 SC in each stitch around for a total of 16 stitches.
3. Round 3: SC in the next stitch, 2 SC in the following stitch; repeat around.
4. Rounds 4-6: Continue increasing by adding extra single crochets between increases until the base reaches your desired size.

3. Build the Basket Walls

For the basket’s walls:

1. Round 7: Crochet in the back loop only (BLO) for each stitch around. This creates a neat turning edge for the walls.
2. Rounds 8-15: Continue with single crochet in each stitch. Adjust the number of rounds based on the basket's height you prefer.
3. Final Round: Slip stitch around for a polished edge and fasten off.

Step 2: Crochet Flowers for the Basket

For a classic look, let’s start with a simple five-petal flower.

No flower basket is complete without some greenery! Simple leaves add balance to your arrangement.
