I prefer using thicker yarn for storage baskets like this. You will notice in my patterns that I love using Wool-Ease Thick & Quick from Lion Brand as well as Bernat Blanket Yarn for crocheting baskets because they are both a super bulky six yarns.
Using a super bulky weight yarn helps keep the basket upright, sturdy and stiff! Click the image below to check out the yarns I like using when making my baskets, so they are more upright.

How to Make a Crochet Basket Stiff
Another subject I wanted to touch on since we are talking about making a basket is how to make a crochet basket stiff.
First, I suggest that when working a basket to use two skeins of yarn at once. Crocheting with two skeins of yarn makes for a sturdier basket and one that will hold up to daily use!
Second, You could use a mixture of glue and water to make a crochet basket stiff.
Steps to stiffen baskets with glue
- Put three parts of glue in a container with some warm water.
- Make sure that the basket is thoroughly coated with this glue mixture by spraying it all over.
- Allow the basket to air dry.
