A dense elegant basket made of cotton cord looks self-sufficient. Knit it for a short time, but there are as many options for using it as you like. Such a little thing can be used to store all sorts of little things or create a designer composition. It will take a little time to work. At the same time, it will be possible to admire the results of labor for more than one year.
Knitting a basket: step by step
The basket can be monophonic or combine several colors. Unlike threads, this material will provide additional rigidity to the finished product.
For work you will need:
- 2 skeins of cotton cord;
- hook of suitable diameter;
- a needle with a large eye;
- scissors.
1. We form a large loop, which will become the basis for creating a circle, and fix it.
2. Around the loop we knit 7 half-columns with a crochet.
3. With an additional loop, we connect the half-columns into a ring. The total number of loops in the circle is 8.
4. We double the number of loops by knitting 2 half-columns for this through each of the loops of the previous row. Now loops - 16.
5. We bring the bottom of the basket to the desired diameter, constantly increasing the number of loops. Increase step 1:2 (in every second loop we knit two loops instead of one).
6. The bottom of the desired size is ready. At this point, it is important to bring knitting to the end of the row.
7. We form the sides. To do this, in each of the loops of the bottom we knit one column with a crochet.
8. Again we go to the single crochet and knit, without adding loops, the required number of rows until we start working with another color.
9. We continue knitting with a cord of a different color.
10. To form the handles on each side, leave 7 loops untied, replacing them with a chain of 7 air loops. It is important to determine the location of the handles as accurately as possible and make an equal distance between them.
2 September, 2016We offer to crochet a dense basket of bulky cotton yarn for storing handicraft stocks and more. The knitting pattern was compiled by the needlewoman Nina Camacho and includes two basket sizes: 7cm x 6.5cm and 6cm x 6cm.
Both options will help keep your little things neat and in perfect order. Crochet baskets are small enough to fit on your desktop, but big enough to store leftovers that have nowhere to put them. If you want to knit a larger basket, just increase the diameter of the base and the height of the walls.
Crocheted baskets from bulk yarn
Knitting pattern and description (master class)
The basket knitting pattern was translated into Russian by Handcraft Studio.
You will need:
- 1 kg thick Recycled Cotton Cord, thread thickness 6 mm, color Optic White. This amount will be enough to tie 1 large basket and one small one.
- crochet hook 10 mm
- darning or tapestry needle with large eye
Abbreviations:
VP = air loop
RLS = single crochet
SS = connecting post
CCH = double crochet
Row 1.
Make an amigurumi ring by wrapping the thread around two fingers. Insert your hook under the first yarn and pull up a loop from the second yarn. When the first row is finished, you can pull on the end of the thread to close the hole a little.
Row 2.
1 ch lift, 6 sc in the ring, sl-st in the lift air loop to close the row (6 columns). It is very difficult to work with thick yarn. After each row, check if you have knitted the correct number of columns. Do not count the sl-st or ch of the instep as a separate loop.
Row 3.
1 VP lift, 2 sc in each loop, sl-st to close the row (12 columns).
Row 4.
1 lift VP, * 1 RLS in the next loop, 2 RLS in the next; repeat from * five times, sl-st to complete the row (18 bars).
Row 5.
1 lift VP, * 2 RLS, 2 RLS in the next loop; repeat from * 5 times, sl-st to complete the row (24 columns). If you are knitting a small basket, go directly to the 7th row.
Row 6.
1 lift VP, * 3 RLS, 2 RLS in the next loop; repeat from * 5 times, sl-st to complete the row (30 bars).
Row 7.
3 VP lifts, count them as an additional column. Continue the row by working dc in each st, using only the back walls of the sts, starting from the first st of the previous row. SS into the third air loop of the rise to close the row (31 (25) columns).
Row 8.
Repeat row 7 3 (2) times, counting the first 3 ch as the first column, then 30 (24) dc, use both walls of the loop. (31 (25) columns). For a large basket, you will end up with 4 such rows, and for a small basket, 3.
Row 9.
3 ch lift (counts as a column), 5 (3) dc, 5 ch, skip 5 loops, 10 (8) dc, 5 ch, skip 5 loops, 5 (3) dc, sl-st in the third lifting ch to close the row .
Row 10.
1 lift VP (does not count as a column), 6 (4) RLS, 5 RLS in the interval of air loops, 10 (8) RLS, 5 RLS in the interval of air loops, 5 (3) RLS, SS in the first lifting VP, to close the row. Cut the thread, leaving a 10 cm tail. Divide the cord into three parts and sew them on the wrong side of the basket.
Knitted decorative basket. Master class with step by step photos
Master class "Basket with flowers"
Konopleva Elena Vasilievna, teacher of additional education, MUDO "House of childhood and youth in Cheremkhovo", Cheremkhovo.The master class is intended for teachers of additional education of children's knitting associations, students of middle and senior school age of children's knitting associations, as well as for all those who know how to knit.
Purpose: a wonderful gift for the holiday, interior decoration, a case for various little things.
Target: production and decoration of a decorative basket.
Tasks:
- to form a steady interest in creativity;
- develop imagination, aesthetic taste, creativity;
- cultivate patience, accuracy and perseverance;
- to teach practical skills of manual labor and their use in life.
Any person always strives to make the interior of his home cozy.
Decorations in the interior, accessories, decorative items complete our home. Without these things, he looks empty, not interesting, ordinary, not alive. And if you add all these charms, the rooms will immediately sparkle, liven up, become more colorful. I suggest making a decorative flower basket that can be given as a birthday present, or to decorate the interior of a room or use it as a case for various small things.
For work you will need:
- yarn of different colors;
- hook;
- thick cardboard;
- needle;
- sequins;
- beads;
- satin ribbons
We draw the outline of the basket on the cardboard.
We make punctures with a needle as shown in the photo. We will insert a hook into these punctures and knit a single crochet. Cut out the basket along the outline.
With yellow yarn, we collect a chain of air loops 3 cm more than the width of the basket (I scored 50 loops).
We knit 3 rows with single crochets.
Further, at the end of each row, we do not knit one loop, turn the knitting, make 3 loops on the rise and knit so until the part takes the form of a basket (I knitted 8 rows).
The part is crocheted to cardboard. Here the punctures that I made with a needle help me, that is, I insert the hook into the punctures. This makes it much easier to attach the knitted piece to the cardboard with single crochets.
This is what the basket looks like on the back.
And so gradually we tie the item to the basket with single crochets.
Next, we tie the handle of the basket with single crochets.
This is how the basket turned out.
Now let's start decorating the basket. We knit flowers with yarn of different colors according to the scheme. Only 8 pieces. Legend: dot- air loop, plus- single crochet, cross- double crochet. Wrap a blue thread around your thumb into a ring and knit a single crochet from the resulting ringlet, then knit according to the pattern.
This is how a flower is obtained, connected according to the scheme.
We make wire stems for 3 flowers.
We wrap the stems with green yarn, fix the ends of the thread with glue.
We make the hearts of flowers from beads.
We decorate the rest of the core colors with sequins and beads.
According to the scheme, we knit several leaves with green yarn.
Next, sew flowers and leaves on the basket on the left side.
We collect three flowers with stems in a bouquet and sew it inside the basket in the center.
The basket can be decorated with satin ribbon, sequins, beaded dragonfly.
You can make leaves from a satin ribbon on the right side of the basket. To do this, cut the tape 10 cm long.
We form leaves from ribbons, collect them in a bundle, which we fix with a sequin and a bead.
And here is the basket.
In my opinion, there are not enough green leaves on the handle of the basket. I decided to knit chains from air loops, attach them at the back. And I got these curls.
She knitted three chains of different lengths, gaining 15, 20 and 25 loops. All chains come out of the same loop.
Now at the peak of popularity are all kinds of baskets, crocheted basket bags. The basket is made of any braid, rope, Spaghetti-type yarn, Ribbon, knitted or T-shirt yarn. You can take any cotton or synthetic yarn in 3 additions. The original basket for all sorts of little things is especially relevant for giving. With knitted handles, the product turns into a basket bag.
A hand-knitted basket will add coziness to your home. What is especially good about this work is that you can knit from anything. You can cut an old T-shirt, jumper, or just a piece of any fabric. The basket can be plain, with colored inserts, or colorful - as you like. We start work with an amigurumi ring. To understand how to make an amigurumi ring, look at the picture:
So it will be easier for us to understand where the work begins. Legend:
VP - air loop, RLS - single crochet, CCH - double crochet, SSBN - connecting single crochet.
For work you will need:
- Ribbon yarn, can be from old T-shirts, 2 colors.
- Hook 10 mm.
- Scissors.
- Needle.
We start knitting with an amigurumi ring. We fix the loop:
We knit 8 single crochets from the loop.
1st row: we close them with a connecting half-column. And now with the thread that we have left, we tighten the base.
2nd row: we make increases in each loop formed. We add 8 loops. We make 1 air loop (VP) to lift the row, 2 single crochet (SC), 2 SC, and so on until the end of the row. We finish with a connecting column without a crochet (PRS). As a result, 16 loops.
3rd row: increases not for each pigtail, but through one. 1 VP for lifting the row, 1 sc, 2 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc, and so on, until the end of the row. We are finishing SSBN. Total 24 loops.
4th row: make increments. 1 ch, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc, 1 sc, 1 sc, 2 sc, and so on, until the end of the row. We are finishing SSBN. Total 32 loops.
For the next rows, we make increments with an increase in the step. 8 loops are added. Total 40 loops.
We add 8 more loops. Total 48 loops.
We knit RLS in a circle. We insert the hook into the upper VP of the beginning of the circle.
We take a yarn of a different color, we knit RLS.
1 VP and RLS in a circle. We close the row with a single crochet. We knit another row.
We start knitting handles. We make 2 VP, then 10 double crochets (CCH). We do 5 VP, skip 7 P, then we knit 17 CCH. We make 5 VP, skip 7 P and knit CCH to the end of the row. We close the RLS row.
For work you will need:
- Knitted yarn - 400-500 grams.
- Hook 15 mm.
- Scissors.
The main pattern is knitted as follows: single crochet (RLS) in circular rows. Each next circular row starts with 1 air loop (VP) lift. We finish with 1 connecting column (SS) in the first single crochet (RLS).
Let's get to work:
First you need to tie the bottom of the basket. We knit a chain of 5 VPs, then it is necessary to close its SS into a ring and knit with the main pattern. We make circles.
- 1st row: knit 8 sc.
- 2nd row: we double each loop, that is, we knit 2 loops in 1 loop of the base. You will get 16 loops.
- 3rd row: double every second loop. You will get 24 loops.
- 4th row: double every third loop. You will get 35 loops.
- 5th row: every fourth loop is doubled. You will get 40 loops.
- 6th row: double every fifth row. You will get 48 loops.
- 7th row: knit without additions.
- 8th row: double every sixth row. It will turn out 56. On this we finish making the bottom of the basket. Next, we knit without additions.
After 21 rows from the very beginning of work, we begin to make handles at the basket. We knit two circular rows in this way: 11 RLS, skip the next 7 rows, knitting 7 VP, 11 RLS, skip the next 7 rows, knitting 7 VP, 21 RLS, skip 7 rows, knitting 7 VP, 11 RLS. After 2 circular rows, we knit the last row and finish the work.

Step by step description with diagram
So, we are starting to make a cute crochet basket, a detailed diagram and description will be given below. In our case, we will use ribbon yarn in 2 colors.
Knitting round crochet craftswomen usually start with an Amigurumi ring. To understand how to make it, look at the picture below.
The yarn should be as thick as possible - so the finished product will keep its shape!
- 1 row: make an amigurumi ring - for this you need to wrap the thread around two fingers, then insert the hook under the first thread and form a loop from the second thread.
Knit in this way 8 tbsp. without n.
When the first row is completed, close the ring conn. Art., pull the free end of the thread and slightly tighten the loop.
- 2 row: we tie a ring in a circle, knitting 2 tbsp in each loop. without n. and starting a series of air. lifting item. Finish a series of connections. Art. As a result, we get 16 tbsp. without n.
- 3 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. n. for lifting, and we finish the connection. Art. It turns out 24 loops.
- 4 row: air. lifting, then we make increments only in every third loop - 1 tbsp. without n., 1 st without n., 2 tbsp. without n. We close a series of connections. Art. As a result, we have 32 loops.
- 5 row: in the 5th row we evenly add 8 tbsp. without n. As usual, start a series of air. n., and finish the connection. Art. We get 40 loops.
- 6 row: we add in a circle evenly another 8 tbsp. without n. Total 48 loops.
- 7 row: from this row we begin to knit the wall of our basket. To get a more relief row of Art. without n. knit only under one loop of the previous one. We do not make additions. We start a series of air. n., and finish the connection. Art.
- 8 row: knit st. without n. around the circumference under both loops of the pigtail into each loop. You don't need to add anything.
- 9 row: we knit in the same way as the previous one.
