How to Crochet a Hanging Basket – Small
How to crochet a hanging basket? In this tutorial, I show you how to make a very simple hanging basket that is perfect for holding keys, a wallet, or other small items. This would also be excellent while camping. You could easily hang it up in the community showers and place small items in it while you take a shower. Also: this would be really cute with air plants (new idea 🤩)

Hanging Basket Crochet Pattern – Small
Crochet Hook: N\15\10MM
Yarn: 4 Medium, Big Twist brand (~380 yds/skein – need 3 skeins)
Note: this pattern is worked with all three skeins at the same time. Inorder to do this, line the three strands of yarn up together and crochet with them simultaneously like you would one strand.
MC
Row 1: 6 SC inside MC. This is a continuous loop pattern, so we won’t be starting and stopping each individual row. I suggest using a scrap piece of yarn to mark the 1st st of each row.
Row 2: 2 SC in each st (12 SC at end of row).
Row 3: *1 SC in st 1, 2 SC in st 2.* Repeat * around the row (18 total SC at end of row).
Row 4: *1 SC in st 1 – 2, 2 SC in st 3.* Repeat * around the row (24 total SC at end of row).
Row 5: *1 SC in st 1 – 3, 2 SC in st 4.* Repeat * around the row (30 total SC at end of row).
Row 6: *1 SC in st 1 – 4, 2 SC in st 5.* Repeat * around the row (36 total SC at end of row).
Row 7: *1 SC in st 1 – 5, 2 SC in st 6.* Repeat * around the row (42 total SC at end of row).
Rows 8 – 14: 1 SC in each st in the row.
Row 15: *1 SC in st 1 – 5, SC 2together st 6 & 7.* Repeat * around the row (36 total SC at end of row).
Row 16: *1 SC in st 1-4, SC 2together st 5 & 6.* Repeat * around the row (30 total SC at end of row).
Row 17: *1 SC in st 1-3, SC 2together st 4 & 5.* Repeat * around the row (24 total SC at end of row).
Row 18: *1 SC in st 1-2, SC 2together st 3 & 4.* Repeat * around the row (18 total SC at end of row).
Row 19: Place 1 SL in the first 6 st, then cut and tie off yarn.
Handle:
Find two locations in the same row that are roughly mid-way between the first and last row and mark them with scrap pieces of yarn. The width between the two is up to you, but I had a gap to two stitches in between my two markers.
Insert your crochet hook up under one of the marked stitches. Tie a slip knot with your three strands of yarn and then attach the slip knot to your crochet hook. Draw the slip knot through the marked stitch and CH 4 (or as many chain stitches as you want to make). SL into the other marked st. Tie off your yarn and draw the tails through to the other side of your basket. Tie the two ends together several times to make sure the basket is secure.
