Everyday Bowl and Crochet Basket Pattern

"Of all the things we love to oogle in the shops are storage containers- namely, baskets. What is it about the containers themselves that we oogle and daydream over? Have you ever crocheted your own basket? Do you walk through the store aisles thinking of all the things you could store in a mix and match sort of way only to be deterred by the price? Well, don't be too discouraged because with this basket crochet pattern, you are only limited by your ability to mix and match yarn colors. Make as many as you desire for only the cost of yarn and a little "sweat equity." (But it's not really sweat equity when it's crochet. It's more like "sweet equity.")"

NotesThis pattern is worked from the bottom up, flat, in the round, in one piece.
