๐งบ Crochet Basket Crochet Pattern
A full construction plan, not just a motif: every round is computed by the stitch engine and verified before publishing โ the finished object comes out the size the title promises.

Finished size & materials
๐ ร20cm ร 12cm tall, stands empty (2 strands of worsted held together). Written for worsted (category 4) yarn and a 5.0-5.5mm hook at โ0.7cm per single crochet. Gauge decides the final size โ hook a small swatch first and adjust the hook, not the stitch counts. Every round below is computed by the stitch engine: if a round says it starts at 72 and ends at 66, those numbers reconcile.

- rim โ Final 2 rounds in BLO sc for a crisp rolled rim. Block the basket over a box overnight to square the silhouette.
