J adore cette corbeille, mais je n' arrive pas à la faire, est ce qu il faut travailler en spirale ou en aller-retour?

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Adeline, la corbeille se crochète en rond, mais vous pouvez la crocheter en rangs (tournez à la fin de chaque rang pour crocheter alternativement sur l'endroit et sur l'envers) afin de pouvoir réaliser le point comme dans la vidéo. Bon crochet!

In the video a DC is being used instead of a TR in the written pattern. Does it matter?
