Materials Needed

  • Light brown acrylic or cotton yarn

  • Scissors
  • A sewing needle

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create a Magic Ring and Begin Round 1

  1. Start by forming a magic ring.
  2. Chain 1.
  3. Inside the magic ring, make 6 single crochets (SC). (Total: 6 SC for Round 1)
  4. Pull the tail of the magic ring to close the circle tightly.
  5. Make a slip stitch (SL ST) into the first single crochet to finish Round 1.

Step 2: Round 2 – Increase Stitches

  1. Begin by chaining 1 (this does not count as a stitch).
  2. Make an increase in every stitch around—2 single crochets (SC) in each stitch.
    • At the end of Round 2, you should have 12 SC.
  3. Finish by making a slip stitch in the first single crochet.

Step 3: Round 3 – One SC and Increase

  1. Start with chain 1.
  2. Make 1 single crochet (SC) in the first stitch.
  3. In the next stitch, make an increase (2 SC).
  4. Repeat the pattern of 1 SC, then increase all the way around.
    • At the end of Round 3, you should have 18 SC.
  5. Use a slip stitch to end the round.

Step 4: Round 4 – Two SC and Increase

  1. Start with chain 1.
  2. Make 1 single crochet each in the next two stitches.
  3. In the third stitch, make an increase.
  4. Repeat the pattern of 2 SC, then increase all the way around.
    • At the end of Round 4, you should have 24 SC.
  5. End the round with a slip stitch.

Note: This is the last round of increasing stitches.

Step 5: Round 5 – Back Loop Only Single Crochet

  1. Begin with a chain 1.
  2. Work single crochet (SC) stitches into the back loop only for all 24 stitches to give the basket its base rim structure.
  3. End the round with a slip stitch. (Total: 24 SC)

Step 6: Rounds 6–9 – Build the Height

  1. For the next four rounds (Rounds 6–9), work regular single crochet (SC) stitches all the way around the basket.
  2. Slip stitch at the end of each round and chain 1 at the start.
  3. At the end of this step, your basket will have more height and structure.

Step 7: Create the Handle

  1. Chain 13 stitches.
  2. Begin single crochet (SC) from the second chain from the hook.
  3. Work single crochet across the chain—this will give you 12 SC in total.
  4. Chain 1 at the end and fasten off to secure the handle.

Step 8: Attach the Handle

  1. Use a needle to attach the handle to the basket.
    • Count 13 stitches on the top rim of the basket for even spacing.
    • Sew one end of the handle securely, then sew the other end on the opposite side.
  2. Secure the yarn by weaving it into the back of the basket stitches and cut off the excess.

Step 9: Final Touches

  1. Turn the basket back to its right side if it’s inside-out.
  2. Check that the handle is securely attached and the basket looks neat.
  3. Trim any remaining yarn tails for a clean finish.
