This pattern uses the simple daisy stitch. The photo instructions below show how to make this crochet basket step-by-step, including the simple daisy stitch. The pattern is quite simple and the simple daisy stitch is just a repeat of one round.

Materials

- Hook: as suggested on your yarn label. I used hook size 2.0.
Abbreviations (US terms)
- st: stitch
- ch: chain
- sc: single crochet
- sl st: slip stitch
- sc inc: single crochet increase
- rep * *: repeat from * to *
Notes
The diameter of my basket is 7.0 cm and the height is 3.0 cm (6.0 cm not folded).
You will work in rounds. This pattern uses the simple daisy stitch. Photo instructions below show the main steps how to make this stitch. To make a single crochet increase simply make two single crochets in the same stitch. In round 9 the number of stitches is reduced by one because the simple daisy stitch uses an odd number of stitches.

Start by making a magic (adjustable) ring.
Round 1: 8 sc in the magic ring, join with a sl st.
Round 2: ch 1 (counts as a st), sc in the the very first st, sc inc in every st until the end, join with a sl st to the ch1.
