2. Knit 2 SC in each loop of the previous row, and at the end create a VP.
3. Knit the third row. Thread 1 SC into its first loop, and make 2 SC in the second. Finish with VP.
4. Knit increases through 2 loops – 1 sc, 1 sc, increase (knit 2 sc in one loop of the previous braid). Finish with VP.
5. Make increases through 3 loops – 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, increase. Finish with VP.
6. Repeat the previous steps, but through 4 loops and finish with a chain stitch. The bottom of the basket is ready, let’s move on to the sides.
