I remember as a kid thinking it was weird that my mom had so many baskets. Like what are all these baskets for? What do we need these things for? Why are their baskets on the walls? On the floor? Everywhere? While it baffled me a bit as a kid, I now definitely understand the appeal of a good basket. In fact, I would definitely say I’m becoming something of a basket lady.

There’s just always so much stuff, and baskets are the perfect pretty solution for hiding organizing that mess. Plus I love the texture that baskets bring into a space! Beautiful natural fibers and woven details – swoon. Of course, I have my fair share of crocheted baskets around my house, but most of them are on the small size. Today, I’m sharing my latest basket pattern, and this time it’s a nice, large crochet basket. The finished basket is about 14″ in diameter and 14″ tall, which means it’s perfect for holding extra blankets or corralling stuffed animals in a kids room.

I used large macrame cord to make the basket, which comes in lots of fun colors, so you can change the basket to fit any room in your home. I did my basket in three colors, but you could totally do it in a solid color too. Ready to crochet?

I have used Bulky Yarn to make this Basket.You you can trying making one with any yarn of your choice…… Chunky Yarn….. Macrame Chord….Jute Twine… or just use Three strands of yarn to give it a bulky texture. Just remember to change the hook size according to the yarn you would like to use. You can easily adjust the size of this basket according to your needs. Just change the starting number of Chain Stitches to make it bigger or smaller.
