Perfect Organizing Crochet Basket!

I love anything that will help organize my house so this chunky crochet basket pattern was naturally a must have for me. If you are ready to stay organized too then read on down to find the free basket crochet pattern!

The Yarn That’s Perfect for This Basket

To make my chunky crochet basket I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick Yarn in neutral colors, so it would blend well with any room it was collecting yarn in!

I think any color would be nice for this basket and I recommend exploring all the different colors available.

This Basket Can Hold Your Extra Yarn!

I am currently using this basket to hold some of my extra yarn, but it could be used for many other things like hair pretties, hand towels, crochet hooks and more!

If you like this crochet basket pattern you may also like my Mini Basket Crochet Pattern too!

Want a Sturdier Basket?

I would suggest crochet with a tight tension to make it stand up nicely. I also love working with two skeins of yarn at once and work the pattern as written.

Another great technique is to crochet past the suggested round 9. Repeat Round 9 nine more time and then fold it down inside the basket to make the sides stay firm. This technique will omit the handles but your basket will be much stronger.

    How many skeins of yarn for one basket?

      Hi Samantha,

      You will need 100 yards. Each skein has 106 yards so you will only need 1 skein if you are doing a solid color basket or two skeins if you’d prefer the color blocked look.

      Happy Crocheting!

      Hi, Valerie,

      I crocheted pretty tightly for each stitch to make sure it was stiff. You could also crochet with two skeins of yarn at the same time to make it sturdier.

      Happy Crocheting!

    Row 11 doesn’t add up.
    7+3+1+15+3+1+7=37. There are 3 missing since the row count is 40. Please explain

      HI Deb,
      There were a few typo’s in that round that must have been there for years! Thank you for finding them. I fixed the pattern changing the 7 sc’s to 8 sc’s. Also, I think you may have forgotten to add the first sc of the round in when adding above so it equals out to 40 now. 🙂

      sc (1) sc 8x (8) sk 3 (3) sl st (1) sc 15 (15) sk 3 (3) sl st (1) sc 8 (8) = 40

    Hi- I’m confused too. It seems that you are not supposed to count the beginning chains on each round as a stitch. But then that messes up the stitch count. On round two I just DC in the first stitch right next to the chain and that worked. But as I got further along I somehow had more than 40 stitches in each round. Can you offer any suggestions? Are you supposed to slip stitch into the beginning chains or not?

    I am as confused as Deb. Maybe you can answer the question of why do patterns call for working in the third chain from hook when you could use a magic circle or join the chain and work inside? Thanks!

      Hi Michelle,

      It all depends on how you prefer to start the round. Some prefer the magic circle, some like to start by joining a chain and others like to chain then work in a certain chain from the hook. It all depends on how the designer designed the pattern. 🙂

    Hi! I made this basket the other night and absolutely love it! Do you have any suggestions on how to make a nesting set?

    Hi. I’m trying to make your storage basket pattern. On round 2 it says to ch 3 and starting with “4th ch from hook”. The rest of round 2 says to dc in the ch stitches. There are no ch stitches except the first 3 in the instructions. I am going to continue with the assumption that after the 3 ch I am supposed to start doing 2 dc in each dc from round 1. Just thought you may want to check this.
