Rolled over crochet bowl

I have recently gone a little crochet crazy and have designed a simple crochet bowl to keep my yarn.  It measures approximately 25cm wide and 11cm deep with the turn over. Ideal for keeping a few balls of gorgeous yarn! I used some scrap yarn I had leftover from knitting socks, so great for clearing up my stash. So here is the pattern:




Rolled over crochet bowl

25cm wide and 11cm deep with the turn over.

Chain 4, slip stitch into the first stitch to form a loop.
Round 1. Chain 1, 12dc into loop, ss into the first dc (12)

Switch to 6mm hook
Round 11: Chain 1, htr into the back loop of each stitch, ss into first htr 
Rounds 12-24: Chain 1, htr into each stitch, ss into first htr 

Switch to Aran yarn (pink) for the top edge of the basket
Round 25-28: Chain 1, htr into each stitch, ss into first htr 
Round 29: Chain 1, turn work and work htr into each stitch going in the opposite direction (this is where the edge is turned over so I switched to work from the inside of the basket so the outside looks neater) ss into first htr
Round 30-33: Chain 1, htr into each stitch, ss into first htr 
Fasten off and use crochet hook to weave in ends.

Enjoy!
