The base: I added a few more rows to make it bigger;
114 stitches!

Note:

08/22/11: Thank you so much for dropping by!
I have many questions about my basket’s handles and love to share the instructions how to make them for all of you:)
But it’s been a long time!

Start with sc 18 sts, 30 chains then skip 21 sts and sc in next stitch (22nd st.)sc 36 sts, 30 chains then skip 21 sts and sc the last 18 sts.

Next row to the end: Single crochet on every row.

This isn’t your question, but I’d like to add an information about embroidery mods, I just used needle and pink thread to make it more beautiful! Insert the needle up and down, that’s all.

If it isn’t clear enough please let me know:)
Happy crocheting!
