Organizing with Crochet Baskets is my new go-to for organizing things around my home!
These crochet baskets are great for organizing little stuff(or big stuff!)around your home too! They look good and can be made in any size and color you want. Crochet baskets are a great alternative to plastic bins and organizers that are cheap and not very pleasing to look at.
They are relatively easy to make as these patterns use mostly basic stitches like single crochet, double crochet, and half double crochet. So, these are easy projects even for beginners. If you would like to learn how to crochet, check out these posts – Learn How to Crochet and Learn the Basic Crochet Stitches.
This is Part 2 of my organizing post! If you missed my first one, check out my post DIY Paper boxes and felt baskets for organizing. I did mention in that post that I was working on my crochet baskets for organizing. Finally, here it is!
I would have loved to include many more baskets but I just did not have the time. So here are the ones that I did manage to make.
I will include the links to some great patterns that I will be trying in the future, so you can check them out if you are interested!
Supplies needed for making these simple crochet baskets:
Crochet hooks – The hooks used for these patterns are mostly 5mm and bigger.
Yarn – For these crochet baskets thick sturdy yarn is best.
Yarn needle to finish your baskets

Crochet Baskets for organizing:
Stacking baskets:
These stacking baskets are very easy to make, I made the small and medium-size in less than 2 hours! You can find the pattern here at Mooglyblog.com.
The yarn I used needed to be thicker but I just used what I had. If you need your basket to be sturdier just use a thicker yarn that will hold up well.
Crochet mason jar cozy:
I know this is technically not a basket! But I just thought it was a great idea to use old mason jars and cans. This is such a great way to dress them up, and use them for organizing! The pattern can be found here at gratefulprayerthankfulheart.com.
I used cotton yarn for this one, I changed the yarn in between to give it a white stripe. My suggestion for this pattern is to use a stitch marker. I didn’t use one and kind of lost count of the rows, so lesson learned!
Crochet Basket Pattern:
This crochet basket pattern comes in 3 sizes. I tried the smallest one, it was easy to do but I did find the last row or two a bit challenging. My stripe on top was not very neat as you can see from the picture. But, I wanted to include it as they are really cute for organizing little things! The pattern is from desertblossomcrafts.com.
Brown Crochet basket:
This pattern is from letscrochet.org, and you can find the pattern here. I stopped in the middle and made a bowl. But you can follow the instructions and make that cute basket.
Flat Crochet basket:
This pattern is a collection of mini nesting baskets from lifeandyarn.com. I made them flat by just doing one row after the base is done, So after the row of single crochet in the back loop only(BLO), I did one more row of single crochets, slip stitched around, and finished off.
