    One Skein T-Shirt Yarn Basket - Free Crochet Pattern by Nicki's Homemade Crafts

    I recently went to Michaels and saw one skein of Loops & Threads T-Shirt yarn on sale, so I grabbed it and knew right away what I wanted to do with it. I needed a storage basket for my guest bathroom and it was perfect for it.

    I especially liked how easy and fast I was able to make this basket. I only used 2 different stitches, single crochet for the bottom of the basket and half double crochet (in the 3rd loop) for the side of the basket.

    Just to get an overview about this pattern, as well as what you can do with it, I created this fun short video to introduce you to the One Skein T-Shirt Yarn Basket. Enjoy!

    Final size:

    about 7.5 inches wide and about 4 inches tall

    Instructions:

    Use a stitch marker as no sl sts are made until the basket is completely done.

    Start with a magic ring and place 6 sc inside, pull tight

    Round 1: 2 sc in the same stitch in every stitch

    Round 2: *2 sc in the same st, 1 sc, repeat from * all around

    Round 3: *2 sc in the same st, 2 sc, repeat from * all around

    Round 4: *2 sc in the same st, 3 sc, repeat from * all around

    Round 5: *2 sc in the same st, 4 sc, repeat from * all around

    Round 6: *2 sc in the same st, 5 sc, repeat from * all around
