DROPS CROCHET HOOK SIZE 5.5 mm – or size needed to get 13 dc/tr with 2 strands = width 10 cm.

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1. Work diagram in tr, i.e. 1 square in diagram = 1 tr with 2 strands.

COLOUR PATTERN (worked in the round):
When changing colour work as follows: Work last tr with first colour but wait with last pull through, switch to next colour and work last pull through, then work next tr. When working with two colour place strands for the colour not worked over sts from previous round, work around the strands so that they are hidden and follows in the round.

CROCHET INFO:
Beg every dc round with 1 ch, finish with 1 sl st in first ch from beg of round (this ch is not count in no of dc).
Beg every tr round with 3 ch, finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beg of round (these ch are not counted in no of tr).

DOUBLE YARN TIP:
Use yarn from both inside and outside of the ball. When switching to a new ball, try to avoid switching both strands at the same time - to avoid a thick yarn when fastening.

REVERSE DC:
Work as dc but backwards. I.e. work dc from left to right.
----------------------------------------------------------

BASKET:
Work 4 ch on hook size 5.5 mm with 2 strands dark grey and form a ring with 1 sl st in first ch - READ DOUBLE YARN TIP.
ROUND 1: READ CROCHET INFO! Work 6 dc in ch-ring.
ROUND 2: Work 2 dc in every dc = 12 dc.
ROUND 3: Work * 2 dc in first/next dc, 1 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 18 dc. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
ROUND 4: Work * 2 dc in first/next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 2 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 24 dc.
ROUND 5: Work * 2 dc in first/next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 30 dc.
ROUND 6: Work * 2 dc in first/next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 36 dc.
Continue to work like this until 12 rounds have been worked = 72 dc on last round.
Work next round as follows: Work * 2 dc in first/next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 8 dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round = 80 dc. Piece measures approx. 20 cm in diameter. NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE! Work the edge.
