As I sit here in shock over how quickly the last week flew by, I wonder if it was the same for any of you? Did you get your supplies, swatches and Basket bottoms complete for Part Two of the Lansdowne Basket crochet pattern?
The kids are out of school and daycare for 8 weeks and I am watching a friend’s two girls three days a week. It is so much fun! They help to keep my littles busy and out of trouble. I am hoping (fingers crossed) that this means I will also be able to get a few extra rows done here and there while they play blissfully together. A girl can wish, right?
Just to remind you, this CAL pattern was released on the blog in 3 parts!
Part 1- Materials, Gauge and Bottom.
Part 2 – Body of Basket. (Released below!)
If you would like the full pattern in one place, you can purchase an ad-free copy of the full pattern in one of my shops!

Read THIS blog post to see where we left off in Week 1.

Lansdowne Basket Crochet Pattern Instructions
After completing the bottom of the Basket, continue on to Round 8.
8: Ch1, working in the back loops only, hdc in each st around, then, hdc in the same st as beginning ch1, do not join. (85 hdc)
You will now work in a continuous Round without joining. Mark the start of each Round with a Stitch Marker.
9-18: *Hdc in next st, hdc in 3rd loop of the next st (see photo above), repeat from * around. (85)
That’s it for Week 2!
I look forward to seeing your progress photos in Ravelry!

Don’t understand row 9. Do you end on a had (because there are an uneven number of stitches 85). If so does row 10 start with a bcc (making two bcc in a row)?
Yes! Round 9 ends with a hdc, so your next stitch will be in the 3rd loop.
Hi, can you help. I have followed the pattern as written but the half double crochet into back loops has only created rows with the v on the outside and no pattern as in the images of your bag. If I could add a photo I would. Thanks
Rows 9 and on do I crochet into front and back then third loop or continue in back then third?
Thank you
In round 9 you will work your first stitch as a regular hdc, the next stitch will be in the 3rd loop, the next stitch will be a regular hdc, the next will be in the 3rd loop, and so on.
Hope that helps!

This is a super basket. I’m looking forward to creating one.
