The design of the basket allows it to be used both as a storage basket and a purse.
The bag/basket is worked in spiral (continuous rounds) from bottom up using single crochet stitch, without joining rounds. Constructed as one piece, the base smoothly flows into the body. Then starting from indicated round begins the chevron pattern worked using tapestry crochet along with increases and decreases.
Pattern includes written instructions in English (US terms) and charts.
