#1 – The Boxy Basket | Square Crochet Basket Pattern
First up is The Square Crochet Basket Pattern, aka, The Boxy Basket. Included in the pattern is a set of three nesting baskets that are square shaped, with a slightly round opening.
The combination of The Herringbone Half Double Crochet Stitch, paired with some simple crochet techniques, gives this Square Crochet Basket Pattern, a beautiful, modern design, that not only looks stylish. but is also practical.
The Boxy Basket is rated intermediate, and calls for Bernat Maker (two strands held together) or Cover Story™ Lazy Days Thick & Quick® Yarn (one strand). I love these yarns. They’re a tube style yarn, and have a ton of amazing colors to choose from!

Secondly, is The Basic Basket Crochet Pattern, which is another nesting basket pattern.
Using only half double and single crochet stitches, this pattern is perfect for advanced beginners. The pattern creates a set of three sizes that fit snugly within each other. The clever design offers functionality and style, to organize your space efficiently.
Included in the pattern is the option to add a handle. The basket can sit on a flat surface, or be hung on a hook to hold odd and ends. I love the hook option, as it holds a plant perfectly.
The pattern calls for Bernat Maker (two strands held together). Pictured is the color cream.

#8 & 9 – The XL & Mini Crochet Color Block Baskets
Next up are basket patterns #8 & #9. The XL & Mini Crochet Color Block Baskets made with Bernat® Blanket Extra Thick™ Yarn. The colors shown are Vintage White, Gold, Clay, and Blue Spruce.
I love how quick the extra thick blanket yarn makes the baskets work up. It’s an intermediate pattern, with a few color changes, but only uses single crochet throughout.
The baskets are flexible, yet sturdy enough to stand upright without additional support. The smaller size is a variation of the XL pattern, but both designs use the same method.

#10 – The Doorknob Hanging Basket Crochet Pattern
Pattern #10 is such a fun one!
The Doorknob Hanging Basket is worked in the round and includes a handle that fits perfectly around a doorknob or hook.
It makes the perfect stocking or Easter basket alternative, if you’re looking for something a bit different. I especially love it for a teen, as it can double as storage after the holiday is over.
Rated advanced beginner, the Doorknob Hanging Basket Crochet Pattern alternates between single and double crochet, creating a beautiful texture similar to a lemon peel.
They’re worked with Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick or two strands of Bernat Maker. Pictured is Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick in the color Fossil.

The next two basket patterns are holiday themed!
The Lil Tweed Basket is an easy basket pattern that works up quickly using two strands of bulky yarn held together. The green tweed yarn definitely gives Christmas vibes, but it can easily be appropriate for any season by switching up the colors.
The pattern is rated advanced beginner, and written using two strands of bulky yarn held together I used Mary Maxim Aspen yarn in the color Alpine.
This pattern does not include a video tutorial, however, it’s the same technique as The Little Handle Basket.
Thank you Mary Maxim for sending me this beautiful yarn for my project!
