Let's get started!
Creating the Base:
Chain 21: Start by chaining 21 stitches.
Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook, and then sc in each chain across. You should have 20 sc. Chain 1, turn.
Rows 2-20: Continue sc in each stitch across, chain 1, turn.
Working Around the Base:
Round 1:
Sc in the next 19 sc.
3 sc in the next sc (corner increase).
Turn work to the side.
19 sc along the side.
3 sc in the next sc (corner increase).
Working on the other side of the foundation chain, sc in the next 19 stitches.

Continuing the Basket:
Work in continuous rounds, using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round.
