How To Crochet Diagonal Chevron Basket
In this pattern, you will learn how to crochet a sturdy basket using a 6 mm crochet hook and t-shirt yarn. Follow the detailed steps to create your basket, including crochet techniques like single crochet, single crochet in the back loop, and the long single crochet together stitch.
Materials Needed
- 6 mm crochet hook
- T-shirt yarn
- Basket bottom with pre-punched holes
- Scissor
- Needle
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Attach Yarn to Bottom
- Slip Stitch: Start by doing a slip stitch in every hole around the edge of your basket bottom.
Step 2: Single Crochet in Each Hole
- Do a single crochet in every hole, making sure to go between the strands when you insert your hook.
- Increase Stitches: In each corner hole, do two single crochets to allow the basket to maintain its shape.
Step 3: Single Crochet in the Back Loop Only
- For the next row, do a single crochet in the back loop of every stitch.
- Add Increases: To ensure your stitch count is a multiple of 3 plus 2, add an increase stitch on each side of the basket.
Step 4: Confirm Stitch Count
- Before moving on, count your stitches to make sure the total is a multiple of 3 plus 2.
Step 5: Begin Chevron Pattern
- Single Crochets: Start by doing a regular single crochet in the first two stitches of your row.
- Long Single Crochet Together:
- Insert your hook backward into the first single crochet you made, yarn over, and pull through.
- For the next stitch, insert your hook into the row below, yarn over, and pull through (so you have three loops on the hook).
- Yarn over and pull through all three loops to complete the stitch.
- Repeat the pattern: two single crochets, one long single crochet together.
Step 6: Continue Pattern Around
- Keep repeating the 2 single crochets followed by the long single crochet together stitch until you complete the row.
- No Joining Rows: Continue this pattern in a spiral without joining the rows for a seamless look.
- Ensure your "long single crochet together" stitches align correctly with those in previous rows.
Step 7: Finishing
- Once you’ve reached the desired height, finish by doing a slip stitch to tie off the yarn.
- Weave in the ends securely.
- Optionally, add a custom tag for a personal touch.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you will have crocheted a sturdy, stylish basket perfect for storage or decorative use. The combination of single crochet, single crochet in the back loop, and long single crochet together stitches creates an appealing texture and adds to the basket’s durability. This simple yet effective pattern provides you with a functional and aesthetically pleasing item perfect for any home.
