Introduction: Make Your Own Crochet Oval Basket

By Raji's Craft Hobby
About: Hello all!!!! A warm Welcome and It's a pleasure to have you here. Art and Craft is my passion .I love experimenting new and creative ideas.

I am a Big Fan of Crochet Baskets. I absolutely love the fact that they just work up so fast and are very easy to make.There are so many ways that you can use Crochet Baskets.Use them to organize your whole house.

Today I am going to share a simple pattern for Oval Crochet Basket. I have used T-Shirt Yarn to make this Basket and Black T-shirt yarn for the Border.T-shirt yarn is a great choice for baskets because it's extra thick and sturdy. But you can trying making one with any yarn of your choice...... Chunky Yarn..... Macrame Chord....Jute Twine... or just use Two strands of yarn to give it a bulky texture. Just remember to change the hook size according to the yarn you would like to use.

Am also sharing the video tutorial where I have used Bulky Yarn.

I stopped with the increases at this round.

My base of the basket measures 5'' Breadth and 10'' Length.

If you want a bigger basket, then you can continue with increase round untill you reach the size you need.

Just keep repeating Round 3 untill the desired size is reached.
