Playing ball



I think it is time I learn to write down crochet patterns. And what I most frequently crochet is nets like this one. One 50g ball of cotton is perfect for this small ball, but the net can easily be scaled up for a grocery bag or a beach bag. Or scaled down, for a yarn bra. My next one will be home to a family of rubber ducks currently living in a nearby bath tub.

Please consider this a beta pattern, and let me know of any errors or difficulties.


Square base:
Ch 18.
Ch 6 dc in stitch no. 18, ch 6, dc in stitch no. 12, ch 6, dc in stitch no. 6, ch 6 dc in stitch no. 1 (Creating 4 loops). Turn.
Ch 6, dc in loop. Repeat to end. Turn.
Repeat last row 2 times more.

Sides:
Do not turn, but continue loop pattern along the edges of the square and continue spiraling: ch 6, dc in loop.

Finishing:
Do two rows of single crochet along the edge. Make handles without breaking yarn: Divide the edge into four sections, first division marked by your live stitch. Ch 150 (or desired lenght) and dc to bag edge at second division point. dc to third division, ch 150 and dc to fourth division point. dc to first division point, kut and fasten tread.



Anyone able to use this pattern and help me improve it will get as fab a prize as I can get on my non-existent budget... How about free copies of my next 3 patterns?
