10 FREE Crochet Baskets

Each week we are pulling together some of our favorite patterns from the Yarnspirations website. Use these patterns to inspire you to try new projects or even some new yarn! This week I have a collection of 10 FREE crochet basket patterns. Browse through them for your next basket project to put your hooks.

Weekly Theme-Crochet Baskets

Crochet baskets are not only great for your own storage at home but they make a great way to wrap a gift. Make a basket with a cute face, like the kitty toy basket, or something super functional, like the glowing embers basket.

Baskets are a great way to use up scrap yarn. Try holding two strands together, like in the double good crochet basket, to play with color and get some interesting color effects. Have you been looking for a project to use your super jumbo yarn with? Bernat blanket yarn is a great option for making baskets as well.

Nine colorful Tunisian crochet baskets, each uniquely named, arranged in a collage with varied textured stitches and accessories inside.
