Making baskets with t-shirt yarn is super cool. This chunky yarn allows you to finish quickly because it is thick, but it also has an awesome look for baskets.
In this project, we decided to incorporate rope, to give the basket more structure and a different look.
Have fun and share with us your projects. Find us on Instagram and Facebook as tangledyarnshop.
Let’s get started!
YOU WILL NEED:
2 T-Shirt Yarn rolls
12 mm Crochet hook
Rope (20 m approx).
Darning needle
Stitch marker
LET’S START WITH A MAGIC RING.
R1. Now, we will make 10 single crochet. The tail must be placed between the stitches. Pull the tail and close the magic ring. (10 st).
R2. For the second row, we will make 1 increase in each stitch, that is, 2 single crochet in each stitch, which will give us a total of 20 stitches. This we will do, carrying the rope in the middle. (20 st). You can choose not to use the rope. Place a stitch marker on the first single crochet.
R3. (1 sc, 1 inc) x 10. (30 st).
R4. (2 sc, 1 inc) x 10. (40 st).
R5. (3 sc, 1 inc) x 10. (50 st).
R6. (4 sc, 1 inc) x 10. (60 st).
Keep working on this sequence, until you reach the desired size of your bottom.
R7. (5sc, 1 inc) x 10 (70 st).
R8. (6sc, 1 inc) x 10 (80 st).
R9. (7sc, 1 inc) x 10 (90 st).
R10. (8sc, 1 inc) x 10 (100 st).
R11. (9sc, 1 inc) x 10 (110 st).
R12. (10sc, 1 inc) x 10 (120 st).
R13. (11sc, 1 inc) x 10 (130 st).
R14. (12sc, 1 inc) x 10 (140 st).
R15. (13sc, 1 inc) x 10 (150 st).
When you reach the desired size of your bottom, you will stop making increases. The last row of your bottom will be made in the back loop of the stitches. This will help it bend to start giving height to your basket. In this sample, the bottom only has 7 rows.
R8. 1 sc in each stitch in the back loop. (70 st).
After finishing this row, you will continue single crocheting in both loops, and working in a spiral, as many rows as you wish. In this example, we reach row 17. In the next row, we will make the handles.
R18. 25 sc, 10 sc around the rope (you will skip these 10 stitches), continue working 25 more sc, and 10 sc around the rope (you will also skip these 10 stitches). (70 st).
R19. 1 sc in each stitch. On the handles, crochet the single crochet around the handle. If you want more stitches, you can add them, if not, you can continue with the same 10 single crochet. (70 st).
R20. To make it look even, row 20 just work it from the beginning to the second handle and finishes it off.
