You will need:

• Cotton yarn: for the basket in the picture I used Alize Bahar - 'dark rose' and 'yellow' colors
• Hook: 3.0mm
• Stitch marker: for tracking the rows

Abbreviations:

• mc - magic circle
• ch- chain
• sc - single crochet
• inc - increase (two single crochet in the same stitch)
• sl st - slip stich
• (..) - represents the sequence that will repeat
• x and number - the number of times to repeat a sequence
• [..] - the number between square brackets is the number of loops at the end of row

Notes:

The pattern is written in US terminology.

Base:

Start with dark rose to make a circle

Row 1: 6sc in magic circle - [6]

Row 2: (inc)x6 - [12]

Row 3: (sc, inc)x6 - [18]

Row 4: (2sc, inc)x6 - [24]

Row 5: (3sc, inc)x6 - [30]

Row 6: 2sc, (inc, 4sc)x5, inc, 2sc - [36]

Row 7: (5sc, inc)x6 - [42]

Row 8: 3sc, (inc, 6sc)x5, inc, 3 sc - [48]

Row 9: (7sc, inc)x6 - [54]

Row 10: 4sc, (inc, 8sc)x5, inc, 4sc - [60]

Row 11: (9sc, inc)x6 - [66]

Height:

Row 13: Make one row of hdc stitches - end the row with sl st in the first hdc of the row and ch 1

Row 14: Make one row of sc stitches in the 3rd back loop of previous hdc (two loops will remain on front)

Row 15: Take out the hook from last chain and add a stitch marker to make sure the stitches don't get unravel.
Attach yellow color on the next stitch with a sc.

This row will be worked with 'special' sc stiches. Insert hook into the base of next stitch (not into the top loop of the stitch, like you would for a regular sc). This will wrap your sc over the previous round.

Make two sc in the same stitch - to form a 'diamond'
Skip the next stitch and then make two sc into the next one.

Repeat this until you reach the end of the row.

Row 16: with dark rose color, make one row of regular sc stitches

Next, repeat the following sequence:
- with yellow color, make one row of: two special sc stitches in the same stitch, skip one stitch
- with dark rose color, make one row of regular sc stitches
Do this up until you have 5 rows of yellow diamonds.

Last yellow stitch is a sl st. Cut the yellow color yarn and hide tail.

Interior walls:

Row 24: with dark rose color, start this row with (sl st, ch 1, hdc) into the same stitch
- hdc in every stitch of the row, including into the last sl st of previous yellow stitch
- end row with sl st into the first stitch of the row

Row 25: ch 1, sc in 3rd loop of each stitch
Rows 26-34: sc in each stitch around

Cut the yarn.

You can sew the inner part onto the bottom if you like.
