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.

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.

Repeat*(1DC,2DC)

I stopped with the increase round here.
The Base measures 5 inches.

If you wish to make a Bigger Basket, follow the below pattern:-

Start each round with Chain 2(Not counted as a stitch)
Round 4--DC 2, 2DC in next stitch(48)
Round 5--DC 3, 2DC in next stitch(60)
Round 6--DC 4, 2DC in next stitch(72) .....and so on.

Round 4:-

Start with Chain 1.(Not Counted as a stitch).

1 Single Crochet in the Back Loop.

1 Single Crochet each in the Back Loop of the remaining stitches.

Once you reach the end do not slip stitch. We will be working in continuous rounds.

Round 5 Onwards:-

1 Single Crochet in each stitch around untill the size required.

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.
