C2C kitchen towel (inspiration)

Made with classic C2C, using scrap yarn. The outline is two laps of slip stitches. For 3 of the corners, I made 3 stitches in the air on the first lap, and 2 slip stitches, 1 air stitch, 2 slip stitches into the consequent loop on the second lap. To make the big loop for the hook, I made a long chain of air stitches on the first lap, and outlines those tightly with double stitches on the 2nd lap.

CUTE BASKET

Start with a ring of 4 stitches.  Round 1: 8 stitches. (Throw the yarn over the stitches in the ring, and pull it through like a regular stitch. Round 2:  two stitches go into each of the previous stitches, thereby doubling your number of stitches. Round 3: first one stitch, then two stitches into the same previous stitch. Basically, you do two stitches for every 2nd stitch of the previous round. Round 4:  one stitch, one stitch, two stitches into the same previous stitch. So, two regular stitches and then two stitches into every 3rd previous stitch. Continue doing two stitches for every 3rd stitch until you reach round 7.  Please note that if you want to make a significantly larger basket, you can keep going with more rounds before moving onto the next step. In this case, after you've completed round 6, you must place the 'two into one' stitches farther apart. otherwise, the bottom will wrinkle. I recommend the alternative: round 7- every 4th, round 8- every 5th, ro...
