A Sturdy Crochet Basket With Handles

Small, medium or large. Worked in one piece from the base up.

What you need

Two strands of worsted cotton held together, a 6 mm hook, scissors and a stitch marker.

Step 1: Crochet a flat circle

Start with a magic ring and add six stitches in every round until the base has 48 stitches.

Step 2: Turn the corner

Work one round in the back loops only, then 12 plain rounds. The walls stand up on their own.

Step 3: Add the handles

On each side, chain 8 and skip 8 stitches. Work over the chains on the next round.

Use it everywhere

As a plant pot cover, for keys by the door, or for yarn. All three sizes are in the full pattern.
