Hook: I hook

2 sc in each of next 6 sc (12 sc)
*sc, 2sc in next sc* repeat this sequence 6x for a total of 18 sc.
*sc 2, 2 sc in next sc* repeat sequence 6x for a total of 24sc
*sc 3, 2sc in next sc repeat from * 5 more times (30 sc)
*sc 4, 2sc in next sc repeat from * 5 more times (36)
I stopped here because it was the size I wanted. You can continue to increase to make a bigger basket.
Slip stitch into next sc, chain 2, Dc in each Sc around then slip stitch into first 2
chain**repeat until your basket in the length you desire** i added 4 dc rows.
once basket is length you'd like do not fasten off as you now need to make your
handle.
To make the handle I ch 1, then 3 hdc, ch 1 turn 3 hdc **repeat until handle is desired
length** Once handle is long enough for you youll need to fasten on to the other side of basket. For this I simple held the strap against the side and then sc across to fasten. Now
fasten off turn your bag inside out.
Attach whatever you would like for a decoration. I chose a flower.
