Increasing Rows (Triangle Base):
- Row 2:
- Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 1, (sc, ch 2, sc) in ch-2 sp, ch 1, sc in last st. Turn. (6 sts – ch-1 counts as st, + ch-2 sp)
- Row 3:
- Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1, (sc, ch 2, sc) in ch-2 sp, ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1, sc in last st. (10 sts + ch-2 sp)
- Row 4 & Onwards:
- Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 1, (sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1) across until ch-2 sp, (sc, ch 2, sc) in ch-2 sp, (ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp) across until 1 st remains, ch 1, sc in last st. (Increases by 4 sts per row)

- For Wool of the Andes (single-stranded): 35 total rows.
- For Billow (double-stranded): 25 total rows.
Hanging Loop Instructions:
- Row 1:
- Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 1, (sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1) across until ch-2 sp, (sc, ch 10, sc) in ch-2 sp, (ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp) across until 1 st remains, ch 1, sc in last st. (Modify ch-10 for different loop sizes)
- Row 2:
- Ch 1, sc in first st, ch 1, (sc in ch-1 sp, ch 1) across until ch-2 sp, work 12-14 sc around the loop ch sts, (ch 1, sc in ch-1 sp) across until 1 st remains, ch 1, sc in last st. (Adjust sc count in loop if needed)
Cut yarn, leaving a long tail (twice the bottom width of the triangle). Fasten off.
Basket Assembly:
- Secure the magic circle tail by knotting and weaving in ends.
- Fold the triangle into a basket shape:
- Fold both corners toward the center so the right corner overlaps the left.
- The long tail should be on the right side, underneath the right fold.
- Stitching the bottom:
- Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and whip stitch across the bottom, ensuring all layers are secured.
- At the left corner, use a running stitch to lightly attach the right fold to the basket’s body.
- Reinforce the fold intersection with extra stitches for added sturdiness.
- Loop Finishing (Optional): Leave the loop as is, or wrap yarn around its base for a decorative tassel effect.
