Looking for a stylish way to organize your home? The Mini Nesting Baskets crochet pattern by Rebecca Langford is just what you need! These baskets not only look great but are super functional, making them a fantastic addition to any room. With their clean, modern design, they’re perfect for storing and organizing all sorts of items around your house.
Crochet Storage Baskets
The crochet basket pattern comes with instructions for three sizes: small, medium, and large. You can create a set of baskets that nest inside each other for easy storage or use them separately to hold different things. These sizes make them great for organizing everything from office supplies and craft materials to bathroom essentials and kids’ toys.
How to Make a Crochet Basket
These baskets are made using a mix of the mini bean stitch, single crochets, and half double crochets. The mini bean stitch gives them a lovely texture, making the final product sturdy and durable. Craft this crochet basket by doing the bottom part first, and then proceed to work the sides.
The pattern is easy to follow, perfect for anyone wanting to improve their crochet skills with a useful project.
Materials You Will Need
To make the Mini Nesting Baskets, you’ll need Bernat Maker Home Dec yarn, which is a bulky weight cotton/nylon blend. This yarn is ideal for making sturdy yet flexible baskets. You’ll also need 5 mm and 4.25 mm crochet hooks to get the right gauge and stitch definition.
How to Stiffen Crochet Baskets
To stiffen your crochet baskets, cut two pieces of plastic canvas and place them inside the basket, pressing it against the walls and bottom. Fold the single crocheted part over the canvas to hide it. Smooth out any wavy areas with your fingers until the basket is perfectly round.
This method helps the basket keep its shape and stay upright even when filled.
