Macrame Cord Crochet Round Basket With Handles

I love making Crochet Baskets. The fun and the most awesome thing about making a Crochet Basket is that, you can make them in size of your choice with the same pattern. Using different yarns gives you a different textured basket. They are of course pretty easy and quick to make.

Today am sharing the pattern for Macrame Cord Crochet Basket with Handles. I have used macrame cord for the basket. The thick cord gives the basket sturdiness. I have also added handles to the basket. This makes it pretty useful and easy for storing and carrying around your things.

Materials Used:-

• Macrame Cord
• 5.50mm Crochet Hook

Notes:-

For this whole pattern, the starting chain 2 is not counted as a stitch. This is just to bring the yarn to a working height.

Start the Double Crochet in the same stitch.

Handles:-

Even if you are not keeping a count of the stitches, its very easy to gauge on where to put the handles.

Just bring together the sides of the basket.

Count Back 3 stitches from the middle stitch(middle stitch not to be counted) and mark it with a stitch marker. This will be the starting point of the handle.

Do the same on the other side. This will be the ending point of the handle

Repeat the same for the 2nd handle on the opposite side.

1 Single Crochet in each stitch untill the marked stitch.

Chain 12.

Skip the stitches between the marked stitches.
1 Single Crochet in the stitch next to the marked stitch.
