Grape Cordial Crochet Basket

Grape Cordial Crochet Basket

This crochet basket pattern from our friends at Red Heart yarns has a sturdy construction and stylish leather handles. The Grape Cordial basket is an easy pattern that's worked up in the round, and the yarn it's worked up in is more like a cord than string, helping the basket keep its shape. Choose a color that would match your decor and crochet your own basket that's stylish and simple and begging to be displayed.

Yarn Weight(5) Bulky/Chunky (12-15 stitches for 4 inches)

Materials List

  • Red Heart Cordial: #9949 Cheerful (3 balls) •Note: This yarn has been discontinued. Substitute a similar bulky yarn, such as Bernat Maker Home Dec.
  • US size H/8 (5.0 mm) hook
  • Yarn needle, scissors, leather scrap: 2” x 6” (5 x 15 cm), four ¾” studs or rivets

Pattern

  • Note: BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Especially when substituting yarn. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
