We’ve compiled some of our favorite crochet storage basket patterns to inspire you, whether you need a little extra something for décor, or for actual storage.

Garden Plot Baskets

Don’t be afraid to use your crochet baskets in unique ways. For example, you can house plants in them if you get tired of your plant’s pot. The Garden Plot Baskets by Nirmal Kaur Khalsa fulfills this purpose well, while still being a great option for non-plant storage. This basket’s pattern is made using tapestry crochet. Worsted weight yarn gives the baskets a sturdy build, so they won’t lose their shape. Choose colors that will be cohesive to your space for that personal touch.

Bicycle Basket

Storage baskets can go beyond the home! Brenda K. B. Anderson’s Bicycle Basket makes a wonderful addition to any bike, old or new. This storage basket’s stripes and flower give the basket a playful look. The basket is worked up in a hemp twine that allows it to withstand outdoor elements. Plastic canvas lining ensures that the basket’s shape is not lost over time. This basket is perfect for spring and summer bike trips to the farmer’s market or even just the park! You’ll easily upgrade to the coolest bike in town with this project.

Petroglyph Baskets

Get the classic wooden woven basket look with Beth Graham’s Petroglyph Baskets. These storage baskets can easily fit into any space’s theme given the right color scheme. A lid ensures that the contents stay put together and hidden from view if needed. The lid and bottom of the baskets are made by crocheting in a spiral, before working post-stitch patterning for the body. To keep with the classic look, choose a natural tan for the main color.

Evergreen Basket

Storage baskets come in many different shapes and sizes. Sometimes, a smaller basket is all you need. The Evergreen Basket, designed by Darla Fanton, measures roughly 4″ at the base, 4″ tall, and 6″ in diameter at the top. This size is perfect for your household’s keys, mail, and more. The basket is worked using a standard stitch base and a split-single crochet stitch for the body. One of the best parts of this project is that gauge size is not super important!

Linked Nesting Baskets

While large storage baskets are versatile and can fit into many spaces, sometimes a design is perfect. The Linked Nesting Baskets by Ronald Sehl, make the perfect addition to a child’s space. These baskets are worked up quickly using linked stitches and super-bulky T-shirt yarn. Toys, books, and crafts can all fit easily into these baskets. For even more organization, each basket can color-coordinate to a specific object to contain. Organizing will now feel like a breeze!
