Crochet Hanging Basket

The unique texture and sturdy design will keep your baskets looking fabulous and functional for years. Whether you’re making one for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, you’ll enjoy making something practical and beautiful.

Tip:

Choose thicker yarn and a smaller hook to make your basket sturdier and your stitches tighter.

 

Materials Needed:

For Increase:

• Join with a slip stitch and chain 1.

Increase Pattern:

 Shaping the Top:

• Single crochet in the back loop only, twice in the first stitch, then once in each stitch until the last.
• At the last stitch of each round, single crochet in the back loop only, twice.
• Continue this around, and join each round with a slip stitch.

Creating the Loop:

• Chain 5.
• Insert hook into the same space and slip stitch to create a loop for hanging.

Finishing Touches::

Hanging Your Basket:

• Use the loop to hang your basket in the desired location.
