I am just going to be honest and say that I am a horrible
pattern writer. I created this pattern today on my day off and I totally wanted
to share it. I apologize for how horribly it is written, so if you have any
questions, feel free to email me and I will gladly help you out! I also
included some awesome videos to make it a little easier. Hope it doesn’t get
too tricky!
Basket Weave Crochet Basket Pattern
I used two strands of Red Heart Super Saver yarn to create a thicker basket that would stay up on it's own and a 5.5 mm hook.
Create a magic ring
Reminder, do not
join!
Round 1: sc 6
into ring. (6)
Round 2: 2 sc
in ea sc around. (12 sc)
Round 3: sc in
next sc, inc in next sc, continue around. (18 sc)
Round 4-16:
continue to increase, you should end up with a circle 96 stitches around.
Now this is where it gets a little tricky. The basket
weave stitch is already pretty tough, so doing it in the round gets pretty
complicated…which is why I don’t do it completely in the round!
Round 17: ch 2
(this does not count as your first dc
stitch) dc into each sc around, when you reach the last sc complete your dc and
add a hdc in the same sc, ch 2, turn. (You are not working in the round, the
seam will be stitched up at the end!)
Round 18-20: In
the first 4 dc, dc on the front post. Next, dc 4 on the back post. Continue
this to the end of the row. When you reach the end, don’t forget you hdc, ch 2,
and turn.
Round 21-24:
Continue the pattern of rows 18-24 but reversed. (Switch the front post to the
back post/back post to the front post…it may be easier to just watch the
video!)
Round 25-29:
Change your dc direction again.
Round 30: sc
in each dc, fasten off, leave a long end for sewing.
Stitch up seam.
Stitch up seam.
Bonus: If you would like to create the trim at the top,
sc a few extra rows and fold over!
