    This is a free Spring Basket Crochet Pattern made with single crochet stitches and the spike stitch, as well as super bulky cotton yarn.


    Spring is in the air. And it’s time to make some fun baskets. I use my baskets mainly for yarn and WIP storage, but you can use baskets for many other reasons, too. In fact, I think this Spring Basket Crochet Pattern also makes a great Easter Basket.

    If you have multiple kids just make this basket for each kid. You don’t want them to fight over this cute basket. Trust me! LOL

    I actually got this beautiful cotton yarn from DMC. They sent it to me to try it out and I’m in love. I stopped all my other projects just so I can use all 3 skeins they sent me to make this cute Spring Basket.

    And it turned out so cute, don’t you think? Especially with the Spike stitch creating a color pop of yellow into the green yarn.

    I made the basket bottom black because most of my baskets always get dirty – cause I use them that much! LOL

    PS: If you prefer baskets without handles, you can easily leave out the handles and just repeat the last full round 2 more times. Some crocheters even like only 1 handle going from one side to another. That is fine too, but you may need extra yarn if you chose to go with this option.

    Basket Crochet Patterns

    Crocheting baskets is not only fun, but they are usually very functional patterns. Their purpose is a storage solution and to style up the home where it will be used.

    Typically baskets are made with very thick and strong – nonstretchy – yarn, you will see them being made often in cotton or t-shirt yarn. This basket was made with the new DMC Nova Vita yarn that comes in 26 different colors.

    Free Written Pattern for the Spring Basket

    Quick note: You can make the pattern using only 1 or even more than 3 colors.

    Crochet Circle – Basket Bottom

    Using black yarn

    R1: make a Magic Ring and add 7 sc

    Use a stitch marker as you’ll crochet in continuous rounds for the circle

    R2: 2 sc in each st

    R3: 1 sc, 2 sc in the next st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R4: 1 sc in the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the next st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R5: 1 sc in the next 3 sts, 2 sc in the next st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R6: 1 sc in the next 4 sts, 2 sc in the next st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R7: 1 sc in the next 5 sts, 2 sc in the next st, repeat from * until the end of the round

    Now, use the invisible join to finish the last round in black.

    Crochet Basket Body

    Using the green yarn

    R1: 1 sc in the blo in each st, sl st to the first (49 sts)

    If you want to connect the first and last stitch and start the next round in an invisible way, please watch this video where I show you how to do that.

    R2 – 6: 1 sc in each st, sl st to the first st

    Now transition from green to yellow. This video shows how to do that in an invisible way.

    R7: *1 sc, 1 sc 1 round down, 1 sc 2 rounds down, 1 sc 3 rounds down, 1 sc 2 rounds down, 1 sc 1 round down, 1 sc, repeat from * until the end of the round

    R8 – 10: 1 sc in each st, sl st to the first st

    Crochet Basket Handles

    I have a quick overview short video showing you how to crochet basket handles here.

    R11: 1 sc in the next 10 sts, ch 15, sk 10 sts, 1 sc in the next 14 st, ch 15, sk 10 sts, 1 sc in the next 5 sts, sl st to the first st
