  1. Tried this pattern as written. My basket looked wankey. Tried it again and crocheted rounds 4 – 6 in back loops only and worked like a charm. Maybe my thinking is backwards. Love the basket!

  2. Hello, Keira when working in rounds try using a stitch marker so you know where the row ends. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

  3. I love the pattern, must be doing something wrong. I can’t get the last round even, always has one side higher than the other.
