Free Crochet Basket Pattern–Organize Your Craft Room

Looking for a creative and colorful way to organize your craft supplies?

Learn how to make an easy crochet basket with this chunky t-shirt yarn and my free pattern. You will love it!

I’m a huge fan of simple crochet projects! I like to feel like I’ve accomplished something cute in a hour or so. This is a favorite of mine, and one bowl can be made in about 30 minutes. That’s awesome!

Making a crochet basket is the perfect project for beginners because you only need to know a few basic stitches.

They make great gifts! Handmade gifts are the best!

You can read about how to make your own t-shirt yarn in an earlier blog post of mine.

It’s a great way to recycle old shirts and turn them into something fabulous!

For this project I wanted to try out some t-shirt yarn I had saved for a rainy day. It’s a great alternative to making your own t-shirt yarn.

No craft stores near you and no old t-shirts? You can find more t-shirt yarns available on Amazon right here. {I will make a small percentage if you use the Amazon links in my post, but it won’t cost you more…thanks!}

I’m not an expert at all, so I’ll just explain it like I would if you were sitting next to me having a cup of coffee and crocheting. {That sounds nice!}

Gather a couple things…

T-shirt yarn {handmade by you or from the store}
Size P-15 crochet hook
scissors

Start by making a chain…

Single crochet in the next stitch, single crochet 2 times in the next stitch and repeat the pattern for this row. You’ll single crochet a total of 24 for this row. {photo 4}
