Another Shallow Tray

I know I'm breaking Blogging Protocol by posting a thousand times in one night, but I want to get these things posted. I didn't want to load down one post with several different items, so I broke it up. This is just a basket I made because I like them. I have no use for them, but I like them. Also, it seems the more I learn about complicated stitches and stitch patterns, the more I like to take a break and granny it up.

A view of the side. Clearly, my perspective photography needs work.

A top-side view. Also, I'm tired of this color.
I don't think it's all that fancy, but should anyone want the pattern:

Round Shallow Granny Basket/Tray
**This is one of those rare patterns for me that uses chain 3 as a dc.**
-Made with Red Heart Super Saver and "K" Bates hook-
Round 1: Magic Circle - chain 4. (dc, chain 1) 13 times. Close Circle. Connect with slip stitch to 3rd chain.
Round 2: Slip stitch to the chain space. Chain 3, dc, chain 1. (2dc, chain 1) in remaining chain spaces. Connect with slip stitch to top of chain 3.
Round 3: Slip stitch to the chain space. Chain 3, 2dc, chain 1. (3dc, chain 1) in remaining chain spaces. Connect with slip stitch to top of chain 3.
Round 4: Slip stitch to the chain space. Chain 3, 3dc, chain 1. (4dc, chain 1) in remaining chain spaces. Connect with slip stitch to top of chain 3.
Round 5: Slip stitch to chain space. Chain 3, dc, chain 1, 2dc. (2dc, chain 1, 2dc) in remaining chain spaces. Connect with slip stitch to top of chain 3.
Round 6: Slip stitch to chain space. Chain 3, 2dc, chain 1. (3dc, chain 1) in remaining chain spaces. Connect with slip stitch to top of chain 3.
Repeat Round 6 until desired height.
Simple Border: sc in each stitch and ch1 space. then sc around.

Nothing astoundingly new, but it worked for me.
