As Easter is approaching you could make a gorgeous DIY jute Easter basket and use it as a decoration in your house. The things that you will need are:
-12mm Crochet Hook
-Jute (I used 2 135’ rolls of 4 ply)
-Removable Stitch Marker -Leather (I used a 26” x 1.5” strip)
-Snaps
-Snap Setter
And in order to make it you have to:
-Crochet 6 single crochet (sc) into a magic circle. (6)
-The bottom of the basket is crocheted in a spiral.
Place stitch marker in the first stitch of the round and move it up every time you complete around.
-Round 1: 2 sc into each stitch. (12)
-Round 2: 1 sc, 2 sc into next stitch. Repeat ** to the end of the round. (18)
-Round 3: 2 sc, 2 sc into next stitch. Repeat ** to the end of the round. (24)
-Round 4: 3 sc, 2 sc into next stitch. Repeat ** to the end of the round. (30)
-Round 5: 4 sc, 2 sc into next stitch. Repeat ** to the end of the round. (36)
-Round 6: slip stitch into 1st stitch of the round, chain 1, in same stitch sc through back loop only, 35 sc through back loop only. (36)
-Round 7: slip stitch into 1st stitch of the round, chain 1, in same stitch sc, 35 sc. (36) -Repeat round 7 2 more times.
-Round 10: slip stitch into 1st stitch of the round, chain 1, in same stitch sc, 7 sc, chain 2, skip next 2 stitches, 16 sc, chain 2, skip next 2 stitches, 8 sc. (36)

-Finish with a slip stitch into the first stitch of the round, weave in ends. Slide leather strap through holes in sides of basket and mark where to place snaps. Place snaps with the snap setter.
