Crochet a basket from your scrap yarn

Crocheting a basket from scrap yarn is a fantastic way to reduce waste and create something functional and beautiful. Here's a simple pattern to get you started

Start with a Magic Ring: Begin by making a magic ring. Insert your hook into the ring, chain 1, and then single crochet (sc) a total of 6 times into the ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.

Increase Rounds: In the next round, work 2 single crochet stitches into each stitch around. This will double the number of stitches to 12.

Continue Increasing: In each subsequent round, work 2 single crochet stitches into each stitch around. This will increase the number of stitches exponentially, creating a flat circle that will form the base of your basket. Continue increasing until the base is the desired size.

Work Even Rounds: Once the base is the desired size, stop increasing and work even rounds of single crochet stitches without any additional increases. This will begin to build the sides of the basket.

Add Color Changes (Optional): If you'd like to add color changes to your basket, simply switch to a new color of yarn at the beginning of a round. You can create stripes, color blocks, or any other pattern you like.

Crochet Up the Sides: Continue crocheting even rounds until the basket is the desired height. You can make it as tall or as short as you like, depending on how much scrap yarn you have available and the size of the basket you want to create.

Finish Off: Once the basket is the desired height, fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

I also made a lining.

Enjoy Your Basket: Your scrap yarn basket is now complete! Use it to store yarn, craft supplies, or any other small items you'd like to organize.

The only limitations is your mind, wish you

a creactive day! ❤
