There is no more increasing at this point, so you continue working the same number of stitches round by round to build up the height. This leaves the front loops untouched so that they create a beautiful edge. To help create a clear border or edge to distinguish the base of the tray from the height of the tray, work single crochets in the back loops only (the loops further away from you). Next, it is time to start building up the height of the circular tray.
To begin the Circular Carry-All Tray, work the flat base in joined rounds, increasing as you go so that the base expands outwards while remaining flat. It is a level 5 (bulky) yarn that is 70% polyester and 30% viscose. Once I saw and felt the beautiful Rewind Tape Yarn by Lion Brand Yarn, I knew that this would be the perfect yarn to create a set of carry-all trays with its unique texture and amazing stitch definition. I love having various storage options in my home, and I’ve crocheted many baskets throughout the years! I have always wanted to make a set of carry-all trays to hold smaller items that frequently get lost and to help keep my counter space more organized. The free pattern for the Rectangular Carry-All Tray can be found HERE!.The free pattern for the Square Carry-All Tray can be found HERE.
