🧺 Crochet Basket Crochet Pattern

A full construction plan, not just a motif: every round is computed by the stitch engine and verified before publishing — the finished object comes out the size the title promises.

📏 Ø20cm × 12cm tall, stands empty (2 strands of worsted held together)

Finished size & materials

📏 Ø20cm × 12cm tall, stands empty (2 strands of worsted held together). Written for worsted (category 4) yarn and a 5.0-5.5mm hook at ≈0.7cm per single crochet. Gauge decides the final size — hook a small swatch first and adjust the hook, not the stitch counts. Every round below is computed by the stitch engine: if a round says it starts at 72 and ends at 66, those numbers reconcile.

Assembly & finishing

  • base — Increase to Ø20cm. Hold TWO strands of worsted together throughout the entire basket — the doubled fabric is what lets it stand empty.
  • walls — 12 even rounds (≈8.5cm). For a taller basket add rounds in pairs; each pair adds ≈1.5cm.
  • rim — Final 2 rounds in BLO sc for a crisp rolled rim. Block the basket over a box overnight to square the silhouette.
