This is the third and the last crochet basket I made (after that I made one Lotus paper basket and one fabric basket). For this beautiful basket I used cane basket but later I realised that it's not necessary as I sewed the whole basket so it remained stiff automatically. But any way I made it with that cane basket inside. The basket's base diameter is 6: and height 2".

PATTERN: Upper diameter of final basket 7" and height 3.5". Yarn: Vardhman Millenium. Hook 3.5 mm. Yarn needed 80 gm.
R1: With blue, dc 12 in magic loop, cl (12)
R2: dc2 in each st, cl (24)

R3: [dc1 in 1 st, dc2 in next st] 12 times, cl (36)
R4:[dc1 in 2 sts, dc2 in next st] 12 times, cl (48)

BORDER: Join pink yarn at any st. (ch1, sl st in next) rep till end, cl.

Initially I made 6 pieces and thought that outer side would be covered but then I realised that I need more. So I made such 8 pieces. Then join them on the outer side of cane basket as shown. Before that I want to cover the basket from inside.

For that make 2 pieces from R1 to R4 without border. For inner cover we have to work more on one piece we made without border.
R5: (dc1 in 3 sts, dc2 next) 12 times, cl (60)
R6: (dc1 in 4 sts, dc2 next) 12 times, cl (72)
To get the proper shape of basket in the next round we increase only 8 sts.
R7: (dc1 in 8 sts, dc2 next) 8 times, cl (80)
R8: (dc1 in 9 sts, dc2 next) 8 times, cl (88)

But when I tried to glue those 8 pieces from outside, overlapping little bit then it falls again and again. After covering the side completely I glued the other plain blue piece to the bottom. I wait for some time but still the pieces are not fixed. They are falling hence I decided to sew them so that on the time they should not fall and remains fixed. So I have to sew.

After that our wonderful basket is ready to serve Bhikshawal.
