📝 Crochet Pattern
Base (Flat Circle)
- MR, 6 sc (6)
- inc x6 (12)
- (sc, inc) x6 (18)
- (2 sc, inc) x6 (24)
- (3 sc, inc) x6 (30)
- (4 sc, inc) x6 (36)
- (5 sc, inc) x6 (42)
- (6 sc, inc) x6 (48)
👉 Continue increasing until your circle measures about 7–8 in wide, depending on how big you want your bag’s base.
Body (Worked Evenly)
9–28. sc around in each st (no increases, no decreases).
➡️ Work until your bag height measures about 9–10 in.
This creates the deep bucket shape.
Strap (Seamless)
- sc until you reach one side center.
- ch 40–45 (for strap length), skip 5–6 sts, and rejoin with sc on the opposite side.
- sc around the entire rnd, working sc into each chain of the strap as well.
- Optional: Turn and work 1 more row of sc across the strap only for reinforcement.
Finish
- Fasten off and weave in all ends.
- Stretch strap evenly to sit flat.
- Hang on a hook and fill with veggies, fruit, or even yarn balls!
🌟 Tips for Best Results
- Use t-shirt yarn for a sturdy and thick structure – this helps the bag naturally curve into a basket shape without needing decreases.
- If you want a larger bag, keep increasing the base until desired width, then crochet straight up.
- For stronger straps, work two or three rows of sc across the chain before fastening off.
💡 Styling Ideas
- Make them in matching kitchen colors for a modern farmhouse look.
- Hang them in pairs (like in the photo) to store onions, garlic, or potatoes separately.
- Try neutral tones for a minimalist vibe, or bright pops of color for a fun, playful pantry.
