CROCHET WAISTCOAT STITCH BASKET WITH WOODEN BOTTOM 

Size: one size 

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet terms:

SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
SC - single crochet
CSSC - centre stitch single crochet / waistcoat st
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP – repeat

This pattern requires familiarity with stitches used and using invisible join when you work in closed rounds. 

The Waistcoat stitch is also known as center post stitch. It’s as easy as a single crochet. The trick with this stitch is to insert your hook in the middle of the post, just under the inverted “v.”
Then, complete the stitch just as you would a sc: pull up the loop, yarn over, pull through both loops on the hook. To start this stitch, chain any number and start with one row of regular sc.

Some tips: when using cssc use a hook size bigger than usual, keep your stitches very loose, it helps when you’re trying to insert the hook. Use this stitch in the round to get a very consistent look.
The Waistcoat stitch is perfect to make baskets.

3RD LOOP: half double crochet stitches have a 3rd loop. The 3rd loop can be found just below the front loop on the side of the work that is facing you. Working in this special “3rd loop”, creates a nice braided look on the opposite side of the pattern. 

CROCHET DOUBLE LAYERED SIDE BASKET WITH WOODEN BASE
PATTERN NOTES

1) A ch1 at beg of the row DOESN'T count as a stitch

2) Continuous rounds - the waistcoat stitches part of this basket is worked up in continuous rounds, which means that you will not be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one. Instead you will need to keep track of where each round started and how many stitches you have made because after each round you will continue right on to the stitches of the next round (with no join). It is useful to use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to mark the start or end of each round.

3) CLOSED ROUNDS - the beginning of this basket is worked in closed rounds, which means that you will be joining the last stitch of the round with the first one with a slip stitch. When you reach the beg of row, make a slip stitch on top of first stitch and then continue working in stitches from the previous round. I would recommend you to close the rounds with an invisible join to have a perfect baskets. 

4) ( ) – The number of stitches that should be in a completed round/row are placed in brackets at the end of that round’s/row’s instructions.

5) This basket is worked up as a one piece, starting from the bottom to top and then top down to the bottom.
