How to crochet a basket?

The Geo Chunky Basket crochet pattern is an easy skill level project. You’ll need to know basic crochet stitches, how to work into the back loops, and how to make a bobble stitch. To make this small, round basket, I used chunky (weight 5) yarn and a 5.5mm crochet hook.

Don’t forget, it’s important to do your gauge swatch before starting if you want your basket to be the same size. I also kept my tension quite tight in this project for extra sturdiness.

This simple, bulky basket involves no sewing, making it an ideal project for adding a handmade touch to your home. For a detailed tutorial and ideas on how to create this chunky basket, check out the Free Crochet Pattern!
