Crochet baskets made of knitted yarn: patterns and master classes

Interesting ideas for creativity

The hobby of crocheting helps to transform standard boxes into exclusive items that become a real decoration of the interior.

Products with lace and ribbons look stylish and feminine. They are used to store cosmetics, jewelry, yarn, and also as original gift “packaging”.

Lunch containers tied with yarn look cute. Children and adults enjoy carrying lunches in them.

To make the lids of such boxes easy to open, they are decorated with three-dimensional elements. Knitted pineapples, apples, pears, pumpkins and even radishes are used to decorate food containers.

Square box with a large bouquet of crocheted flowers

A similar master class with step-by-step photos will show how an ordinary dish box turns into a real work of art.

Skilled needlewomen don’t throw anything away! Every unnecessary container becomes a useful and practical item. To work, take 100-150 g of the main color and small balls from the leftovers to knit a bright bouquet.

The box is made with a wicker pattern:

“Chess” - alternating convex and flat columns.
“Cells” - knitting three columns of s/n behind the back wall of the base loop.

Make 2 square bottoms for the outer and inner covers. Then the sides are knitted on both sides and two parts of the lid. To prevent the box from being visible through the knitted fabric, it is covered with fabric or regular foil.

All parts of the structure are connected to each other, and the lid is filled with filler to add volume. Creating a flower bouquet.

As an example for needlewomen, here is a pattern for knitting a rose and a leaf. The bud is folded from a long piece around its axis and secured with a needle and working thread.

All flowers are sewn onto a rectangular cover.

Sew a cover for a basket

The last and optional stage of working on the basket is decorating it. You can decorate your wicker craft with a catchy artificial flower, satin ribbons, a bright bow, or sew a cute fabric cover.

Its function is not only to decorate the basket, but also to protect the walls from contamination and make it easier to care for. In addition, you can use it to cover weaving flaws in your first works, giving them an impeccable look.

In this video you will learn how to sew a cover for a round bottom basket.

If you've made a square bottom basket, see how to sew a fabric liner into it. It only requires three measurements and no complex calculations or templates. All the details are in the video.

Step-by-step description with diagram

So, let's start making a cute crochet basket; a detailed diagram and description will be given below. In our case, we will use ribbon yarn of 2 colors.

Craftswomen usually start crocheting round products with an Amigurumi ring. To understand how to make it, look at the picture below.

Knit 8 tbsp in this way. without n.

When the first row is completed, close the connection ring. Art., pull the free end of the thread and slightly tighten the loop.

2nd row: we tie the ring in a circle, knitting 2 tbsp in each loop. without n. and starting a row of air. lifting point. Finish the row of connections. Art. As a result, we get 16 tbsp. without n.
3rd row: we make increases in every second loop, that is, we knit 1 tbsp in the first loop. without n., in the second - 2 tbsp. without n. and so on. At the beginning of the row, do not forget 1 air. p. for lifting, and we finish the connection. Art. This makes 24 loops.

4th row: air. p. lifting, then we make increases only in every third loop - 1 tbsp. without n., 1 tbsp without n., 2 tbsp. without n. We close the row of connections. Art. As a result, we have 32 loops.
5th row: in the 5th row we evenly add 8 tbsp. without n. As usual, start a series of air. p., and finish the connection. Art. We get 40 loops.
Row 6: add another 8 tbsp evenly around the circle. without n. Total 48 loops.

Row 7: from this row we begin to knit the wall of our basket. To obtain a more prominent row of art. without n. We knit only under one loop of the previous one. We don't give raises. We begin a series of air. p., and we finish the connection. Art.

Row 8: knit st. without n. along the circumference under both loops of the braid in each loop. There is no need to add anything.
Row 9: knit in the same way as the previous one.
Row 10: in this row we use yarn of a different color. In our case it is white. Knit around the circumference of st. without n. and finish the connection as usual. Art. We don't give raises.
Row 11: knit it with white threads. In total, we knitted 2 rows with white yarn.

Row 12: from this row we knit the handles of our basket. The sequence is as follows - we knit 2 air. p., 10 tbsp. from n., 5 air. p., skip 7 loops, 17 st. from n., 5 air. p., skip 7 loops and finish st. s n. to the end of the row, ending the connection. Art.

13th row: 2 air. p. lifting, tie in a circle st. s n. A chain of 5 air. p. we tie 7 tbsp. s n. As a result of painstaking work, we came up with such a cute little thing

At the end of the work, sew up all the loose ends of the yarn.

The basket can be made larger or smaller both in diameter and in height. In our lesson today we presented the simplest crochet basket, the diagram and description are very detailed and understandable.

The finished product can be decorated with various ribbon bows, sew on buttons or beads, glue on rhinestones, and much more. etc. Such a basket will be a very beautiful handmade gift.

We knit charming baskets from knitted T-shirts!

Nowadays things crocheted from knitted yarn are very popular. Yarn can be different: Ribbon, Spaghetti, Daria, Serpentine. This type of yarn is also called ribbon yarn, noodle yarn, or cord yarn. This is a continuous narrow strip.

Items made from this yarn hold their shape well and knit quickly. It is also fashionable to knit from any polyester or thick cotton cord. You can make your own T-shirt yarn from old T-shirts.

Check out some cute and functional baskets you can make yourself for inspiration.

How to knit a basket from knitted yarn

Knitted yarn makes original baskets for storing all sorts of small items; they are especially relevant for the bathroom. Such baskets can be used to decorate your home or garden, as well as to store handicraft supplies. With knitted handles, a knitted basket turns into a cute bag. Before you start knitting such baskets, you need to prepare knitting yarn from old T-shirts.

We cut the T-shirt with scissors into equal strips, without cutting to the side seams.

We make cuts diagonally so that the first strip goes into the second, and the second goes into the third, and so on. Cut so that the line is continuous. We don’t sew anything, the yarn turns out to be one piece.

We have got knitted ribbons that need to be pulled in different directions so that the edges of the yarn are rounded.

If you have difficulty cutting a T-shirt, then watch the video tutorial on how to do it easily.

Now you can start knitting the basket. For work, a 10 mm hook is used. Useful cheat sheet: Reading crochet patterns

We start knitting a basket with an amigurumi ring, the diagram is presented below:

We start knitting the bottom of the basket from the amigurumi ring, then continue in the circle with single crochets.

Crochet round boxes for small items

They are easy to use and look organic on a dressing table, and their shape is ideal for storing jewelry and hair accessories.

To make your own box, stock up on:

round base with lid;
glue "Moment";
hook number 2;
peach and turquoise threads;
scissors;
igloo;
several beads to decorate the center of the flower.

The following types of generally accepted abbreviations are used in the master class:

The bottom for the box is ready! Form the side walls.

Knit 1 row with connecting stitches.

Close it with an additional connecting column and knit a chain loop for lifting.

Continue working Art. b/n.

At 22 p.m. change the color of the yarn and knit several rows with it.

Then return to the main color.

Tie the base walls to the end and finish the work with a connecting column.

Take the hook and pull the tails of the threads to the wrong side.

To form the lid, use the bottom knitting pattern.

Carefully place the canvas on the base and coat with glue.

While the box is drying, smooth out the joints.

For decoration, tie a voluminous rose, leaves or a butterfly.

Photos of knitted baskets in the interior

Crocheted baskets will not only decorate the interior, but will also be useful around the house. In the bathroom, you can store cosmetics, cotton pads and swabs in them, and the product, complemented by a lid, will bring even more order to the environment. You can hang a basket with a handle on the toilet door and hide toilet paper inside. And in the nursery, a large basket can easily accommodate your favorite toys.

The photo shows knitted knitted baskets that decorate a shelf in the bathroom.

Crocheted baskets will find their application in the kitchen and living room. You can put flowers in them, keep magazines or books at hand. In addition, thick knitted yarn is easy to knit into a cozy nest for your pet.

The photo shows baskets made of twine that will fit perfectly into a marine or eco-style.

Photo gallery

A crocheted basket is an attractive and functional interior element that will not only help you conveniently store small items, but will also act as a bright color accent and fill your apartment with coziness.

A basket made of knitted yarn is a particularly useful thing in the house. It can be large for dirty laundry or children's toys, or it can be small with a lid for jewelry or small items. It is convenient to use a basket for small needlework so that everything you need is at hand.

If you have never had similar items in your household, then I assure you, after knitting one basket you will not stop! Because it will immediately find a use, and you will want to knit a dozen more similar things, because... you will find that they are truly indispensable in your home or apartment.

I have knitted one basket and want about five more in different sizes, large and small, so I am making plans to buy new skeins of knitting yarn. You will also need a large size hook - from 7 to 10, depending on the thickness of the yarn and the density of your knitting.

Knitting patterns from knitted yarn

As it turned out, ordinary single crochets and double crochets do not look very good in products knitted with knitted yarn, and because... The purpose of the baskets is not only functional, but also decorative; many different new patterns were invented for them:

ticks
fur posts
slanted lush columns
crossed columns
multi-colored patterns, etc.

Simple box for beginners

It is difficult for novice craftswomen to knit a single piece. Therefore, when creating boxes, containers and covers for organizers, they often use granny squares.

Each craftswoman can independently choose a suitable scheme.

The description is simple. Crocheting boxes from granny squares begins by creating 5 or 6 squares. The parts are then joined together using connecting posts.

If the box has a lid, then the square replacing it is attached to the workpiece on one side. Most often, the top of such a part is decorated with a convex decorative element. It will replace the "handle".

Gnome: holiday bottle case

A charming gnome, knitted in the shape of a bottle, will be an unusual packaging for festive champagne. It’s easy and simple to knit such festive characters as in the photo, the main thing is to show imagination and a good creative spirit.

First, according to the principle of a basket, a round bottom is made, and then high sides, which will become the body of the gnome and packaging for the bottle. The gnome's face and nose are knitted from light yarn, and then a beard and fluffy hairstyle are added from fluffy yarn. All you have to do is knit a tall triangular cap to the height of the bottle, decorate it with small shiny accessories and that’s it, the cheerful “Gnome” bottle case is ready!

Master class on baskets made of knitted yarn

This basket can store various small items: it is strong and spacious. A detailed description for beginners can be found in the video block.

The photo shows a round crocheted interior basket, crocheted with a checkmark pattern.

What you will need:

Tape knitted yarn of any color to suit the interior.
Hook No. 9.
Needle.
Scissors.

Step-by-step instruction

We will abbreviate “single crochets” by the abbreviation RLS, and the “chain loop” by the abbreviation VP.

We knit the bottom of the basket. Its basis is an amigurumi ring (detailed video below). We tie the ring 6 RLS and 1 VP.
We knit 2 sc in each stitch of the previous row, and at the end we create a VP.
We knit the third row. We pass 1 sc into its first loop, and make 2 sc into the second. We are finishing the VP.
We knit an increase through 2 loops - 1 sc, 1 sc, increase (we knit 2 sc into one loop of the previous braid). We complete the VP.
We increase through 3 loops – 1 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, increase. We are finishing the VP.
We repeat the previous steps, but after 4 loops and finish with an air loop. The bottom of the basket is ready, let's move on to the sides.
We pass the hook inside and pull out the loop, as in the photo:
We make a circle sc.
We make the sides with single crochets, inserting the hook into the center of the column.
We finish the last row with connecting loops when the basket reaches the desired height. We hide the tails with a needle.

Patterns for knitting knitted baskets

I offer you several patterns that I managed to find, according to which you can knit interesting products.

For a round bottom, it is suggested to start knitting with 8 stitches, so its diameter will immediately be larger. And in the last row there is tying with embossed posts, i.e. the hook should be inserted under the leg of the column of the previous row.

The diagram is intended for making a pattern with checkmarks, and we will find out the pattern in the photo of the baskets below.

You can make an oval basket like this, not very tall, decorate it with tassels and use it in the kitchen.

The basket with the bunny also has an interesting pattern, and the shape is more reminiscent of a shopping bag.

Two baskets with handles are very simple, perfect for Easter.

Another beautiful pattern with either stars or flowers.

And I especially like jacquard patterns. Although knitted yarn itself is beautiful and plain baskets are good, these colored ones are even better.

I tried to choose suitable patterns; they can be used for knitting, but it’s also possible to crochet.

And how to perform a color transition when knitting a basket, Tatyana Chakur’s video will help us understand.

Hook selection

Baskets made from knitted yarn are more convenient to crochet than knitting

It is important to choose the right tool to make your work more convenient. For knitting baskets, hooks from 6 to 8 numbers are most often used

The small size of the tool allows you to knit a dense fabric that will keep its shape.

At first, it will be difficult for beginners to knit tightly, calluses may appear on their fingers, and yarn consumption also increases, but in order for the walls of the basket to hold its contents, it is necessary to maintain thread tension

When choosing a hook, you need to pay attention not only to its size, but also to the material from which the tool is made

The table describes the advantages and disadvantages of different tools:

Material	pros	Minuses
Metal	Durable, have a Teflon coating that ensures the thread glides	Heavy and cold to the touch
Plastic	Beautiful, different colors. Slippery, light	Fragile, can break if knitted too tightly
Wooden	Light, slippery, warm to the touch	Sometimes burrs appear on the cut and cling to the thread

There are combination hooks. Their base is made of metal, and the handles are made of wood or plastic. These instruments are pleasant to hold in your hand, they are light and durable. Each needlewoman chooses a hook to her own taste. Sometimes you need to try several tools before finding the right one.

Crochet basket with wooden bottom, application

This accessory is applicable both for home interiors (you can put creams, lotions, cosmetics, etc. in the basket), and for the bathroom and even a bathhouse (fabric and wood are not afraid of moisture).

The application space is limitless:

Fruit basket
Basket for needlework (knitting or embroidery)
Cosmetic bag for small items
Napkin holder (if you take a smaller bottom)

Candy bowl
Condiment storage space

Like a tea tray

Candy bowl with gold ornament

Make a candy bowl as a gift for a close friend on March 8th or a colleague for her birthday. To work, you will need 400 g of red yarn and a crochet hook No. 5, and to create a gold ornament - 1 ball of iridescent rope and a hook No. 2.5.

According to scheme No. 1, 4 parts are made - 2 for the lower part and 2 for the lid. Lay a reinforcing base between the two finished hearts and connect the parts with one row of non-woven columns.

Advice from the author of the box! It is undesirable to make a cardboard base, otherwise the item will not be washable. Use thick plastic folders, cut out a heart from them according to the template and place it between the parts of the box.

The finished lid and bottom are tied around the perimeter with golden thread ("Lace" pattern). If desired, the needlewoman can fill the inside of the box with padding poly for volume.

According to scheme No. 2, a golden heart is made and carefully sewn onto the lid of the box.

A secret from a needlewoman! And the sweets in the box are also not simple; using the proposed patterns, you can surprise your friends and knit such surprise sweets.

Delicate candy bowl “Swan”

Such magnificent candy bowls can be made from the remnants of any yarn that the craftswoman has lying around in her bins. For density, it is advisable to use threads in 2-3 folds and choose a hook number 4 or 5.

Skilled needlewomen came up with an incredible model - an openwork swan princess. The result is a truly fairy-tale character that will decorate the holiday table and serve as a spacious vase for candies and sweets.

Detailed instructions taken from a foreign handicraft magazine will tell you how to knit such an original basket. Inexperienced craftswomen can start learning from small models and knit a baby swan as a sugar bowl or children's candy bowl.

Crocheted twine box

Good afternoon, dear friends and all blog readers!

I have never had to make such crafts as boxes before. But my son needed a box for small items. Even adult boys and men have their own secrets and little things that need to find a convenient and beautiful place to store them.

It is quite possible to make similar boxes from boxes with your own hands. This is what we did together. My son converted a cardboard box into a box, and I knitted a cover. The result was such an original and quite cute crochet box.

I'll tell you more about how I knitted it.

DIY box made from a box and twine

Since there was no suitable box on sale, women's versions were becoming more and more common, it was decided to make the box with our own hands.

Although we try to throw away all unnecessary things and boxes and not accumulate junk in the closet, we still found one teapot box at home. It has been slightly modified to open from the wide side rather than the narrow side.

Simply put, the lid was cut from the side of the box, and the entire box around it was taped together for strength and security.

Then my son’s creative fantasies ended, and he asked me to decorate the box. I thought for a long time about what kind of decor for the box I could make with my own hands. Decoupage came to mind, but I don't know this technique. I only know how to knit. I Googled a little, looked at what others were doing and the idea of a crocheted box was born.

I decided to choose twine as the material. I really like the now fashionable twine crafts. For example, you can decorate flower pots with twine.

I advise you to look at how to choose twine, what rugs you can make from it, and practical recommendations for crocheting rugs from twine.

This time I decided to knit a case for a box from twine. I bought a roll of twine and it was just enough. I took a thicker hook (six).

I also needed glue and coffee beans.

Crochet box description

We start crocheting a box by making a chain of air loops with a length equal to the perimeter of the future box. You need to keep in mind that when knitting this chain will stretch a little. After knitting the first row, I had to unravel everything and pick up the stitches again.
We close the chain into a large ring and knit with single crochets in a circle upwards without adding loops. I decided not to knit the bottom of the box. But if you wish, you can make it knitted.
After all sides of the box are knitted (we determine this by fitting), you need to knit the lid.
We determine the width of the lid, measure on one side of the crocheted box with chalk or pins and continue knitting only in this part of it in reverse rows.
We cut off the twine and hide its tip. We reattach the lid in the left corner to tie it around the perimeter in a slow step. I really love this edge trim. This is how I tied the Easter basket.

The box turned out to be quite soft and unstable, to my surprise, unlike the basket with flowers, which I knitted from ordinary wool blend yarn.

But this is not important, since the knitted cover needs to be put on the box out of the box. For strength, I glued it with PVA glue, different sides one at a time, placing a weight (book) on them and leaving it to dry for a day

As a result, the case was knitted in the evening and it took another three days to glue the sides and lid and dry the box.

The crocheted box straightened out and stopped bristling. But this is not its final form yet. I began to think about how to decorate the box.

DIY box decor

Twine goes well with coffee both in color and style. That's why I decorated the box with coffee beans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr8b3uQxnss

For this purpose I used the universal adhesive gel “Moment”. Still, it is more reliable than PVA.

Drop a little glue onto a coffee bean and glue it onto the knitted surface of the box. First, I laid out vertical paths of coffee, and then horizontal ones, while laying the coffee alternately on the left and then on the right.

I placed “leaves” in the corners, and a small flower on the lid of the box.

Although I don’t really like working with glue, the universal “Moment” rolled off my fingers very easily and my hands remained almost clean after work.

By the way, you can also knit flower pots from twine and make a beautiful basket.

Similar document boxes can be used for various small items and handicraft supplies.

I put my two twine crafts in this video:

Author Olga Smirnova

PS I recently tried to make simple topiaries, one of them is made from coffee beans in a stand decorated with twine. It fits so well into the interior next to the box.

Crochet jute twine basket

Knitting a basket of jute twine took one and a half small bobbins of this material. It can now be bought at any hardware store, as well as in handicraft departments.

I took the hook number 3.5.

All rows are connected with single crochets.

I will make a short description of knitting step by step in rows.

Knitting the bottom of the basket

Here we have a regular circle as a basis.

We make a ring of five air loops (or a sliding loop).
In the first row - 10 RLS.
In the second row we add 10 more stitches - knitting two stitches in each loop of the first row.
In the third row we increase through one base loop - 1sc, 2sc in one loop, etc.
In the fourth row we add a column after two loops. To make the circle evener, make increments offset to the previous row.
Fifth row - add stitches through 3 loops.
The sixth row is in 4.
The seventh row is in 5.
The eighth row is after 6.
The ninth row is after 7.

The bottom of the basket was 20 cm in diameter.

Knitting basket walls

I knitted the tenth row without adding stitches.

In the 11th row I added 8 stitches.

Next, we knit rows from the 12th to the 21st without exactly any increases.

In the 22nd row I reduced the number of stitches by knitting two stitches together through each seven base loops. As a result, the walls turned out not to be strictly vertical, but at first with a slight expansion in diameter, and at the end - with a narrowing.

I tied the edge of the basket with my favorite crab stitch. I also used this technique when crocheting an Easter basket.

The height turned out to be 8 cm.

This is such a nondescript and scary bowl at first glance, but we will correct it.

Crocheted openwork boxes with patterns of floral motifs

For beginners and experienced needlewomen, a lesson with a detailed description.

The first heart-shaped box made from “Iris” cotton yarn. Hook No. 1. The lid and lower part of the box are knitted in straight and reverse rows, and from the 22nd row, piping begins along the edge to create openwork borders. Flowers are knitted according to a small pattern and sewn onto the fillet mesh of the lid.

How to strengthen a box without using a plastic or cardboard base? Craftswomen have invented several methods:

Select a suitable container according to size and stretch the knitted parts onto it. Lubricate the box with a solution of gelatin or thick starch and wait until it dries completely. To fix the craft, use sugar syrup. Soak the knitted fabrics in sweet water and stretch them onto the prepared template. After drying, they acquire the necessary hardness. A knitted product will hold its shape if you use a wooden or wire frame. And starched knitted parts are already attached to it.

Needlewomen choose a method for themselves or use ordinary plastic containers.

Two boxes and a white vase are made using a similar technique. To create such beauty using crochet number 2, 6 square parts are crocheted according to the pattern, which are connected to each other by air arches.

The finished openwork covers are starched and stretched over the prepared bases.

Crochet Rectangular Yarn Storage Boxes

Such products must be large. They will contain skeins of thread and various ropes, buttons, beads, and elastic bands. All the craftsman's tools are at hand.

Prepare a cardboard box of the required size. In addition to the base for the future container: PVA glue, brush, thick hook, measuring tape, roll of twine, scissors, coffee beans.

Technique for making the product:

Measure the perimeter of the cardboard box with a measuring tape.
Tie a chain chain (length equal to the perimeter of the base).
Close the chain into a ring.
Continue knitting the product in a circle st. b/n.
Proceed to form the lid.
Mark its future location with pins.
Then continue knitting in this place using reverse rows.
When the lid is ready, cut the twine and hide the remaining tip.
Tie the edges with a crawfish step.
If desired, make an additional rectangular bottom.
Place the resulting blank onto a cardboard box.
Alternately glue all sides of the workpiece to the base.
After drying, decorate the yarn box with coffee beans or knitted items.

Design options for a crocheted basket

Sometimes a beautiful pattern or jacquard pattern is not enough to decorate the appearance of a basket knitted from knitwear. Various methods of decorating the finished product are used. This is done using ribbons, beads, and embroidery.

The choice of additional design and its necessity is always individual. If you want to decorate a product, you need to remember moderation.

As a result, the item should not be overloaded with additional elements. You need to understand that the basket should be convenient to use.

Often, knitwear becomes part of the interior, which will have to be correctly integrated into the design of the space.

Knitted baskets have become a popular product. These are comfortable, beautiful interior and functional items. There is nothing complicated about knitting them. Beginners should not be afraid to take on work, everything will definitely work out.

Bunny basket

If a needlewoman has a fluffy pet hare and he needs a new home, then the craftswoman can use a new interesting pattern from the popular Japanese magazine Star Crochet.

Soft ribbon yarn was used for knitting, and the side part of the spacious basket is formed by beautiful floral motifs.

A detailed video will show and tell you how to knit a large children's toy basket with a bunny. For a cute accessory you will need 3 skeins of bright yellow knitted yarn, 1 skein of white and half a skein of gray, and for the bunny ears you will need some white plush yarn.

We knit charming baskets from knitted T-shirts!

Items made from this yarn hold their shape well and knit quickly. It is also fashionable to knit from any polyester or thick cotton cord. You can make your own T-shirt yarn from old T-shirts.

Crochet basket: diagrams and description, video for beginners

A basket for various household items of one size or another, crocheted from cotton, is a great opportunity for a beginning needlewoman to try her hand. It is almost impossible to spoil this thing. Still, you should work carefully, constantly checking the detailed description.

Of course, baskets are different from basket to basket, but it is better for beginning needlewomen to choose simpler models. Moreover, they look no less impressive than complex openwork options; they create an atmosphere of warmth and care at home, a feeling of real comfort.

Try, for example, to start by knitting this charming hand-made set, consisting of 3 round cotton baskets - large, medium and small:

They can be completed very quickly - literally in 2-3 evenings, even for those craftswomen who are just mastering the technique of crocheting. And the result will be impressive.

Materials, tools, knitting density

To create 3 baskets with a diameter of 10, 15 and 20 cm you need to take:

Thicker natural cotton yarn (with a thread length of only 70 m per 50 grams) - 250 grams of blue and 100 grams of white.
Crochet hook made of metal or durable plastic No. 7.

As for the density of elm, there are no special recommendations. However, the baskets should still be made more tightly.

Legend

In the field of crocheting - one of the oldest types of applied creativity - there is a whole system of symbols (letter and graphic), with the help of which original designs of products are drawn up and descriptions are written.

It is almost impossible to know all the combinations used, because there are a lot of them, and for many models their own abbreviations and combinations are developed.

However, any novice needlewoman who takes up independent work should become familiar with the basic concepts:

Description of the basic pattern

In order for the set of baskets to turn out correctly and with high quality, you should adhere to the following explanations and recommendations for the implementation of the basic (basic) knots:

Elm circle pp sc. For each basket, start with a dc of 2 “loose” chs.
In the first circle, perform all sc in the 2nd ch from the hook.
Each circle r starts with one additional ch and ends with one ss in the first sc.
When there is no other decree, in each sc next elm one sc.

Important: the work must be carried out from beginning to end using a thread of 5 additions

Working on large, medium and small baskets

Large basket in rows (elm with blue thread):

1 circle p: 6 sc.
2nd and 3rd circle rr: 2 sc in each sc. It should be only 24 sc.
4th circle r: 2 sc in every 3rd sc. This should make 32 sc.
5th circle r: 2 sc in every 4th sc. It should be only 40 sc.
6th circle r: sc.
7th circle r: 2 sc in every 5th sc. In total you should get 48 sc.
8th–11th circle rr: every 5th and 6th sc you need to knit a VM (and for each sc, pull out 1 stitch, and then use a CV to knit all stitches on the hook). There should be 40 sc in total.
12th circle r: sc.

Upon completion of work on the product, the thread should be cut, and the end should be securely fastened and hidden.

Medium-sized basket, in rows (to make it you need to use white thread):

1st and 2nd circles: elm according to the description for a large basket. There should be 12 sc in total.
3rd round: 2 sc in every 2nd sc. There should be 18 sc in total.
4th circle r: 2 sc in every 3rd sc. In total there should be 24 sc.
5th circle r: 2 sc in every 4th sc. It should be 30 sc.

Crocheted basket: MK video

If the set of baskets described above is not to your liking and you want to knit a beautiful basket from knitted yarn (which is much easier), you should carefully watch the detailed video master class on making such a thing, posted below:

Knitted twine basket

Things made from natural materials look great in the interior. Crocheted baskets made of durable twine give the room a special coziness and color.

The material is inexpensive, wear-resistant and looks great in crafts thanks to its natural color. To knit a twine basket, you will need several skeins of good quality rope, a No. 4-5 hook and thick cardboard to strengthen the bottom.

Work begins with knitting the main rectangle. It consists of two parts, between which cardboard or coarse fabric is laid. The upper part of the bottom is made according to the pattern in straight and reverse rows, and the bottom can be knitted with ordinary non-woven columns for density. Next, the work smoothly moves on to knitting the side part of the basket, which is complemented by two symmetrical handles made of thick rope. The result is truly rustic chic!

Rope basket using mold

Another version of the basket, based on weaving a thick rope. Only in this case, to simplify the work, a shape in the form of a metal bucket was used (any other round or oval bucket of your choice is also possible). This way, the walls of the basket will be smooth, and the work process will be much faster.

Necessary materials:

Rope (0.5 cm or larger in diameter)
Glue gun
Scissors
Bucket

Step 1: Making the bottom of the basket

Fold the rope into a circle or oval in the center of the bottom of the bucket (depending on its shape) and secure with glue. Continue wrapping circles of rope, securing them with glue, until the entire bottom is wrapped.

Step 2: Making the Basket Walls

After wrapping the bottom, give the rope one extra twist and gradually move it so that it wraps around the sides of the bucket. Continue wrapping circles of rope around the walls.

Note: Please note that we use glue to fasten the circles of rope together, and not the rope with the bucket!

Step 3: Remove the form

Remove the bucket from the rope weave. Secure the end of the rope well.

Step 4: Making the Basket Handles

In this example, the handles are made from strips of leather, but you can create handles from rope, ribbon, or cord. Cut two identical strips of leather and attach them to the basket with rivets.

Original basket with strawberries

The basket, made of red and green ribbon yarn, resembles a delicious cupcake with delicious strawberries.

To implement the idea, the needlewomen used an original motif from Tunisian knitting. At first glance it is complex, but in fact, the pattern consists of two rows. In the first one, so-called shells are knitted from 5 unfinished stitches, between which Tunisian s/n stitches pass. And in the second row, 5 stitches are knitted together with green thread and a small strawberry with leaves is formed.

Next, the pattern is repeated and the berries are knitted in a checkerboard pattern. Auxiliary knitting needles help to cast on unfinished stitches, which then turn into beautiful strawberries.
