Easy Crochet Baskets

Last week I talked about cleaning out my kitchen drawers, to get them organized and this week I decided to continue doing some organization by going through my yarn stash. While going through my yarn stash, I found some recycled ribbon yarn and wooden basket bottoms that I purchased over six months ago and were pushed to the back of the closet. So I decided to make a few baskets to help organize my yarn stash. 

Here we go a skein fresh off the hook:

                                      Easy Crochet Baskets


Whether you are a experienced crocheter or a beginning crocheter ready to try something different, this single crochet basket is quick and easy to make. The pattern uses three different single crochet stitches. It begins with two rows of basic single crochet stitches to attach the wooden base, moves on to the waistcoat stitch, and finishes with a reverse single crochet stitch.
Note: The waistcoat stitch (also known as the knit st) is used for these baskets, since it makes a dense fabric that helps the baskets to hold their structure.


The larger of the two baskets
7 ¾” (19.685 cm) across the bottom, 8” (20.32 cm) across the top, and 5”(12.7 cm) high. It holds 4- 3.5 oz/100g skeins of yarn.                  


These baskets are not just for yarn storage, they can be used to store other items, used as decorations, to hold plants, or giving as a gift, the possibilities are endless!

Have a hooky day! Lynne
