Worked from bottom up.
Work 4 ch on hook size 3 mm with strong blue and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch.
ROUND 1: READ CROCHET INFO and STRIPE COLOURS 1. Work 6 dc in ch-ring.
ROUND 2: Work 2 dc in every dc = 12 dc.
ROUND 3: * 1 dc in first dc, 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 18 dc.
ROUND 4: Work 1 dc in every dc but work 2 dc in every 3rd dc = 24 dc.
ROUND 5: Work 1 dc in every dc but work 2 dc in every 4th dc = 30 dc. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
Then work 1 dc more between inc until 24 rounds have been worked = 144 dc on last round. Bottom measures approx. 23 cm in diameter. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE!
Now work the side of basket as follows: Work 1 dc in every dc until piece measures approx. 14 cm.
Turn piece to work in opposite direction (this is done because the edge is folded outwards, and the pattern will be on RS). Work edge as follows: READ CROCHET INFO and STRIPE COLOURS 2. Work A.1 the entire round (= 36 repetitions). When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, work last round as follows: Work 2 dc in first dc, 1 ch, skip 2 dc, * 2 dc in next dc, 1 ch, skip 2 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round (= 48 times in total). Fasten off. Piece measures approx. 23 cm. Fold the edge outwards.
