This tuto­r­i­al will guide you through craft­ing your cro­chet bas­ket using a free pat­tern. Whether you’re a sea­soned cro­cheter or start­ing, we’ve got you cov­ered. We’ll explain the essen­tial cro­chet tech­niques, includ­ing slip stitch­es (sl st), sin­gle cro­chets (sc), dou­ble cro­chets, and more. Addi­tion­al­ly, we’ll dis­cuss the mate­ri­als you’ll need, like the cro­chet hook size and yarn choic­es, includ­ing t‑shirt yarn, cot­ton yarn, worsted weight yarn, and even jum­bo yarn.

Cro­chet­ing small bas­kets is a fun and easy project for those look­ing to make the most of their yarn stash. Depend­ing on the desired bas­ket size, you can use dif­fer­ent yarn com­bi­na­tions, from super bulky weight to worsted weight or even t‑shirt yarn. To begin, cre­ate a mag­ic ring and make the first stitch into the mag­ic cir­cle. Use a stitch mark­er to keep track of your rounds as you work con­tin­u­ous rounds in sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es. Alter­nate between front and back loop sin­gle cro­chet stitch­es or switch to dou­ble cro­chet for added stur­di­ness. Add some bas­ket han­dles once you reach the right size, and secure the last stitch with a slip stitch. Don’t for­get to weave in any loose ends.
