Amazing Crochet Basket

Posted on December 20, 2025

This looks like a crochet basket made with puff/bobble stitches and a braided cord handle. I’ll explain it step by step in detail, so you can recreate it even without a pattern.


🧢 CROCHET PUFF BASKET – VERY DETAILED TUTORIAL (US TERMS)

MATERIALS (IMPORTANT)

  • Yarn:
    • White yarn (main color) – medium / worsted (4)
    • Purple yarn (contrast) – same thickness
  • Hook: 4.5 mm or 5 mm
  • Yarn needle, scissors

πŸ‘‰ Use firm yarn, not too soft, so the basket holds shape.


STITCHES YOU MUST KNOW

  • ch – chain
  • sl st – slip stitch
  • sc – single crochet
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • puff stitch (explained below)
  • BLO – back loop only

PART 1️⃣ BASKET BASE (WHITE)

Round 1

  1. Make magic ring
  2. Ch 1
  3. Make 8 sc into ring
  4. Sl st to first sc
    πŸ‘‰ (8 stitches)

Round 2

  1. Ch 1
  2. 2 sc in every stitch
  3. Sl st to first sc
    πŸ‘‰ (16 stitches)

Round 3

  1. Ch 1
  2. (1 sc, 2 sc in next) repeat around
  3. Sl st
    πŸ‘‰ (24 stitches)

Round 4

  1. Ch 1
  2. (2 sc, 2 sc in next) repeat around
  3. Sl st
    πŸ‘‰ (32 stitches)

Round 5 (OPTIONAL – for bigger base)

  1. Ch 1
  2. (3 sc, 2 sc in next) repeat around
    πŸ‘‰ (40 stitches)

πŸ›‘ STOP increasing when base size is good
(about palm-size like the photo)


PART 2️⃣ TURN UP THE SIDES

Round 6 (VERY IMPORTANT)

  1. Ch 1
  2. sc BLO in every stitch
  3. Sl st

πŸ‘‰ This creates the sharp corner so the basket goes UP, not flat.


PART 3️⃣ PUFF STITCH (WHITE BUBBLES)

HOW TO MAKE THE PUFF STITCH (DO THIS EXACTLY)

  1. Yarn over
  2. Insert hook into stitch
  3. Pull up long loop
  4. Repeat steps 2–3 a total of 5 times
    • You should have 11 loops on hook
  5. Yarn over, pull through ALL loops
  6. Ch 1 to lock

βœ… This makes fat oval bubbles like the picture


Puff Round 1 (WHITE)

  1. Ch 1
  2. Puff stitch
  3. Skip 1 stitch
  4. Repeat (puff, skip 1) around
  5. Sl st into top of first puff

⚠️ Stitch count doesn’t matter here β€” spacing matters


PART 4️⃣ PURPLE GRID ROUND (THE β€œNET”)

Grid Round (PURPLE)

  1. Attach purple yarn
  2. Ch 1
  3. sc BETWEEN two puff stitches (not into stitch!)
  4. Ch 1
  5. sc between next puff
  6. Repeat around
  7. Sl st

πŸ‘‰ This forms the square frame around white bubbles


PART 5️⃣ SECOND PUFF LAYER (WHITE)

Puff Round 2

  1. Change back to white
  2. Ch 1
  3. Make puff stitch inside each purple square
  4. Sl st to first puff

πŸ‘‰ Puff goes into the chain space, NOT into stitch


PART 6️⃣ REPEAT THE WALL PATTERN

Repeat these 2 rounds again and again:

πŸ” Round A: Purple sc + ch-1 grid
πŸ” Round B: White puff stitches

➑️ Keep going until basket height matches photo
(about 6–8 puff rows)


PART 7️⃣ TOP BORDER (PURPLE)

  1. Attach purple yarn
  2. Ch 1
  3. sc in every stitch and space
  4. Do 2–3 rounds sc for clean edge
  5. Sl st and fasten off

PART 8️⃣ CROCHET THE ROPE HANDLE (WHITE)

Rope Stitch

  1. Ch 3
  2. Insert hook in first chain
  3. Pull up loop
  4. Yarn over, pull through
  5. Insert hook again in same space
  6. Repeat to create round cord

➑️ Continue until desired length
➑️ Make 2 cords if you want double handles


Attach Handle

  • Sew both ends inside basket wall
  • Attach on opposite sides

SHAPE & FINISHING TIPS

βœ” Pull puff stitches tight
βœ” Keep sc rounds firm
βœ” You can insert plastic canvas or fabric inside for stiffness
βœ” Steam lightly (do NOT touch iron)
