Handles

Note: You will have to use a bigger hook as you will be working with more then one color. I used 4 colors and used a Q hook.

Round 1- Ch 25, finish off. Make one more for the other side. Attach handles by pulling it through the st’s of the basket. Make sure they are 10 st’s apart.

Round 2- Attach your yarn any where in the basket and continue your pattern making sure you crochet through both st’s of the basket and handles to secure them on to the basket. Enjoy.
