- SL ST: Slip Stitch
- FP SC: Front Post Single Crochet
- RS SC: Reversible Single Crochet
- ST: Stitch
Special Notes
- Durability: Using polyester cord or jute ensures the basket keeps its shape.
- Even Stitches: Pull long loops consistently in length to display the honeycomb texture cleanly.
- Adapting Size: Adjust the basket base depending on your desired size (number of rounds is key).
- Circular Bottom: Ensure proper circular stitch count to avoid uneven or wavy bases.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Basket Bottom
- Foundation:
- Begin with a magic ring, chain 1.
- Crochet 6 SC into the ring. Tighten and join with SL ST into the first SC.
- Circular Increase:
- Work 7 rounds of evenly increasing SC to form a flat circular base.
General guide for round increases:- Round 1: 6 SC.
- Round 2: Work 2 SC into each stitch (12 SC).
- Round 3: (1 SC, 1 increase) 6 times (18 SC).
- Round 4 onward: Continue adding stitches evenly.
- Finish at desired base diameter (e.g., 13cm for the tutorial).
- Work 7 rounds of evenly increasing SC to form a flat circular base.
Transition to Basket Walls
- At the end of the last base round, close with a SL ST.
- Begin working single crochets into the far loops (also grabbing the small "jumpers" beneath). This ensures durability and smooth transition to the walls.
- Row 1 (Foundation Wall Round):
- Work 1 SC into each far loop while catching the jumper stitch.
- At the end of Row 1, pull the last loop through, but do not cut the yarn.
Wall Pattern: Honeycomb Design
Honeycomb patterns alternate between "long checkmarks" and "short checkmarks":
Row 2 (Start Honeycomb Pattern):
- Begin the row by working short checkmarks:
- Insert hook into the split of the previous row’s loops, catch yarn, and pull through.
- Work a SC.
- Then work long checkmarks:
- Insert hook towards the base of the basket (under the checkmark itself), stretch the stitch to match previous loops, and complete a SC.
- Alternate between short checkmarks and long checkmarks throughout the round.
- Continue pulling up long loops evenly in length. This maintains a consistent texture.
Row 3:
- Begin by relief SCs (FP SC):
- Catch the outer legs of long checkmarks and complete a FP SC.
- Work short checkmarks between the relief SCs.
- Repeat across the row: (FP SC + Short Checkmark).
Subsequent Rows
- Continue alternating rows between FP SC reliefs and long & short checkmarks.
- Work until the basket reaches your desired height (e.g., 9cm for the tutorial).
Edge Finishing
- Ridge Binding:
- Measure 4 lengths of yarn required to bind the edge.
- Pull the work yarn through the loops gradually using a tapestry needle or hook.
- Create connecting chains for a clean basket edge.
- Final Connecting Loop:
- Dive under the first lying stitch and return to the start loop using your needle.
- Secure firmly.
Conclusion
This honeycomb interior basket design is elegant yet practical for creating textured decor. The durable walls and unique pattern offer visual appeal, making it ideal for storage or as a decorative addition. The methodical relief stitch sequence ensures clean knitting with well-defined edges.
Pattern Corrections
- Ensure even tension when pulling loops. Long and short loops must match to create symmetrical honeycombs.
- Check stitch counts at the base transition; skipping this step could result in uneven textures on the walls.
Tips for Success
- Consistency: Long loops can distort if unevenly pulled—use consistent gentle pressure.
- Customization: Adjust basket height and diameter based on preferences. Repeating pattern pairs simplifies scaling the design.
- Durable Finish: Polyester cord or jute is recommended for long-lasting results, but softer yarn can be used for decorative baskets.
