- Rd 1: Crochet 6 dc in a magic ring.

Rd 2: 6 x inc [= 12 stitches].
-
Rd 3: 6 x (1 sc, 1 inc) [= 18 stitches].
Basket

-
Rd 5–8: Crochet 4 rounds of continuous single crochet stitches in spiral rounds - continue in knit stitch.
Ears
- Rd 9: 7 sc, *5 ch, now crochet back along the ch chain and start in the 2nd ch from the hook: 1 sc, 1 tc, 1 dc, 1 tc*; 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches of the basket; repeat from * to * one more time for the 2nd ear.
- Complete the round.
Finish
- Rd 10: 1 sl st in each sl st of the rd.

Cut the yarn, leave a yarn for sewing and hide the ends with the needle.
The basket is ready!
