Hanging Storage Basket Crochet Pattern

Hanging Storage Baskets Crochet Pattern

If you’re like me, organization is key. My problem is that I always have little odds and ends, and nowhere to put them. That’s why these crochet baskets are a lifesaver for me.

These hanging storage baskets hang on the wall so they don’t take up space on your floor.

They’re just big enough for some yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks. You could organize your projects and yarn stash with these. It’s a rounded basket with a handle and can be made in any color.

This crochet basket is very minimalist in style.

If you don’t know how to make a basket don't worry. This crochet basket pattern is made up entirely of single crochet. There's always something new to learn in crochet. If you're still new to crochet and looking for some great foundational videos to help you develop your skills quickly and easily, visit the Crochet Fundamentals professionally filmed classes.

The Berroco comfort yarn used to make this crochet basket is extra soft. Because it’s an acrylic nylon blend, it has a slight stretch, perfect for storing items in this yarn basket.

Make a set of these as a housewarming gift. Or, in the spirit of Marie Kondo, get your life organized with a set of your own.
