Crochet Basket Free Pattern with Moara Crochet

Free Crochet Basket Pattern

Baskets are one of my passions, therefore it is time for a FREE Crochet Basket Pattern. I love crochet, but I find woven baskets are always my preferred style until I tried the Crochet Herringbone Stitch with ribbon yarn. This month I was kindly gifted some Papier recycled yarn, in which each ball is made from 2 recycled plastic bottles from the new Brazilian yarn company Fisher Fios. The ribbon style yarn created a texture similar to a traditional woven basket which I just loved. So today I am going to share with you how you can create your own Crochet Basket with my new Free Pattern.

Herringbone Crochet Basket - Moara Crochet

This is a quick easy crochet make which can be made with any yarn! I have used natural rustic coloured beige to create my basket, but this would work beautifully in any colour. The basket can be made in any size of your choosing – simply increase or decrease the base to your required size then continue with the Crochet Herringbone Stitch.

My free Crochet Basket pattern is written below with a simple step by step written photo tutorial or if you prefer a video tutorial, I have also made a Youtube video.

Materials

  • 80-100 meters Chunky Yarn (I have used Papier by Fischer Fios in Capim Dourado)
  • Matching crochet hook for your yarn I have used between 6 mm | J Crochet Hook
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry Needle

Gauge: 13 stitches x 10 Rows in Herringbone Stitch over 10 x 10 cm.

Size: Basket 15cm diameter x 11cm height.

Notes: The base is made in the round. The Herringbone stitch is created through turning the work. To aid in counting add a stitch marker to the beginning of each Row.

Crochet Stitches

To make my crochet basket, you will be using a few crochet stitches including: Single Crochet (sc) and the advanced Herringbone stitch – explained below.
