Step-by-step pattern
Base:
- Start with 56 stitches (adjust as needed for size).
Body:
- Row 1:
- Start by making a seamless join. To do this:
- Make a longer loop with your yarn.
- Insert the hook under the two top loops of the second stitch from behind.
- Grab the loop and pull it through.
- Insert hook in the middle of the last stitch from behind, grab the loop and draw it to the wrong side.
- Work a single crochet (sc) into each stitch across by inserting the hook through the V of the first sc stitch in the previous row, making sure the hook goes into the backside horizontal bar of the stitch.
- Start by making a seamless join. To do this:
- Row 2:
- Begin the row with a seamless join just like in Row 1.
- Work the 2nd sc stitch by inserting the hook through the “left leg” of the same sc.
- Then go through the 2 top loops of the next stitch.
- Skip the next sc, work a sc into the center of the next sc stitch, making sure the hook goes under “2 legs”.
- Continue to work “couples” of sc stitches in this way until the end of the row. A “couple” consists of one sc in the left leg of a stitch followed by one sc in the two top loops of the next stitch.
- Conclude the row with another seamless connection.
- Row 3:
- Repeat Row 2.
- Rows 4 to 18:
- Continue repeating the pattern established in Row 2 for each subsequent row until Row 18.
Handles:
- Row 19:
- Begin with a seamless join.
- After working a couple of sc stitches as established, chain 14 (this will create one side of the handle).
- Skip 6 stitches (for spacing of the handle), then continue with the pattern across until 9 stitches are worked after the chain.
- Chain 14 again for the second handle and then skip 6 stitches.
- Finish the row with sc stitches as before until the end.
Upper Edge:
- Row 20:
- Start with a seamless join.
- Work sc stitches across the chain from the previous row to create a solid fabric over the chain, inserting the hook into the back bar of each chain.
- Continue working the established pattern of sc stitches through the entire row.
- Make sure to work sc stitches across the second chain arch as you did with the first, ensuring handle stability.
- Row 21:
- Repeat the pattern of a seamless start and follow the established stitch pattern for the entire row.
- Work a sc into the “left leg” and then into the 2 top loops of the next sc stitch, for a total of 35 stitches or until the end.
Finishing:
- When the last stitch of Row 21 is complete:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail long enough for weaving in ends.
- Pull the tail through the last loop on the hook firmly to secure the end.
- Weave in all ends for a neat finish.
