Hygge Mini Candy Basket Materials:

Red Heart With Love
- 3 balls: Papaya (color A)
- 3 balls: Egg Shell (color B)
Susan Bates Crochet Hook: 6.5mm [US K]
Bent Tip Yarn needle

Hygge Mini Candy Basket Gauge:

GAUGE: 8 sts = 4″ [10 cm]; 9½ rounds = 4″ [10 cm] in single crochet with 3 strands of yarn held together. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size needles to obtain the gauge.

Although this is not an item you will wear and gauge is not a crucial element you will still want to check your gauge to the pattern. The overall fabric of the basket is to be tight and somewhat stiff (so it stands up). If you are getting a bigger gauge than what is indicated in the pattern you should use a smaller hook.

Pattern Notes:

Three strands are held together throughout.
To change yarn color, working joining slip stitch as follows: Insert hook in first sc, yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook. Proceed with new color. Cut old color, leaving a long tail to weave in later.
