This is a fun and quick t-shirt yarn crochet basket pattern that is perfect for beginners. It works up quick and would make a great gift!


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. Sometimes the yarn just tells you what it wants to be, right?

I needed a storage basket for my guest bathroom and this yarn was perfect for it. However, I love how versatile this basket can be!

You can use it to hold books and pencils for your kids so their bedroom stays tidy.

Secondly, you can even make one to hold even more yarn and your latest project!

I especially liked how easy and fast I was able to make this basket. It took me about an hours to make.

And once and for all my guest bathroom was well organised!

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.
