   Stitch Guide  

   join w/ = join with  

   SLP ST = Slip Stitch  

   CH = Chain  

   SC = Single Crochet  

   HDC = Half Double Crochet  

   HDC DEC = YO insert hook in stitch, YO draw up loop; YO insert hook in nxt st, YO draw up loop; YO draw  through all loops on hook  

   DC = Double Crochet  

   TRB = Treble Crochet  

   H BP HDC = High Back Post Half Double Crochet (Pic below) 

   SP = Space 

   nxt = Next  

   st = Stitch  

   * * = Execute sequence between the stars, the number of times stated  

   x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on  

   in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch  to complete stitch or sequence of stitches stated. 

   YO = yarn over 

   CC = Contrasting Color 

   MC = Main Color 

   Pattern Notes:  

   1. Beginning CH 1 does not count as a stitch
   2. When crocheting the base, please pay close attention to how each round is written, as the increases  for the base of the basket are not executed in a standard form. I have staggered some of the increases,  so they are not sitting directly above the previous round’s increase. This helps the base to be flatter, and  not so rippled.
