About This Revisto Basket Pattern

This pattern creates a sturdy, decorative basket crocheted in Hoooked Zpagetti T-shirt yarn. The basket features a firm flat base, textured sides, and integrated handles for easy carrying. Using basic stitches and simple shaping, it is designed to be both practical and stylish for your home.

You will work in rounds to build a flat oval base, then crochet up the sides with decorative skipped-stitch rows. The finished basket is washable and great for magazines, yarn, or general storage.

Why You'll Love This Revisto Basket Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms reclaimed textile yarn into a useful, beautiful basket that brightens any room. I enjoy how quickly a base becomes a strong structure and how the skipped-stitch row adds an elegant decorative edge. The handles are integrated into the final rounds, so there is no extra sewing, which I find so satisfying. Making one of these is a rewarding, practical project that also makes a thoughtful handmade gift.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this basket by changing colors to suit any room; try bold stripes or soft neutrals for different moods.

To make the basket larger, use two skeins of Zpagetti or increase the number of base rounds and add more increases on the sides.

For a smaller, portable basket, use a thinner cotton rope yarn and a smaller hook to create a mini version ideal for desks or shelves.

I sometimes alternate a row of trebles instead of double crochets to create a different texture on the sides for a more open look.

Try adding a removable fabric liner sewn to fit inside the basket for a polished finish and easier cleaning.

Embellish the basket with pom-poms, tassels, or a crocheted band around the top for a personalized touch that matches your decor.

If you want sturdier handles, crochet an extra row around the chain handles or insert a strip of leather inside the chain for reinforcement.

Stitch two baskets together side-by-side while working the base if you want a divided storage basket for two compartments.

I recommend experimenting with block-stitch patterns or alternating front loop/back loop rows to vary the look without changing the basic construction.

When making sets, dye the yarn or mix natural and dyed skeins to create coordinated home storage collections that look cohesive on shelves.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Starting with the wrong number of chains can distort the base shape; recount the initial 10 chains before working the first row. ✗ Crocheting through both loops when instructed to use the back loop will prevent the edge from rising correctly; insert the hook into the back loop only for the two upright rows. ✗ Skipping the increase repeats at the sides will keep the base from widening evenly; increase by 2 stitches at each side during the 4 base rounds as directed. ✗ Not creating the 3 double crochets in the last chain stitch will make it difficult to continue on the other side; place 3 double crochets in the last stitch to turn and work along the opposite side. ✗ Failing to secure and weave in tails on the inside can cause loose threads to show; fasten off and weave ends into the inside of the basket neatly.

Info :

This kit contains: 120 m Zpagetti, 1 crochet hook, instructions.

Info :

Used stitches: ch = chain, ss = slip stitch, dc = double crochet, tr = trebles.

— Basket :

Step 1 :

Start by making a slip knot and then crochet 10 chain stitches. Crochet your first row in the chain with double crochets (insert through both loops to create a firm bottom). Create 3 double crochets in the last stitch, by doing so you automatically will get to the other side of the chain. Continue creating double crochets on the other side of the chain. The example is shown in the scheme below.

Step 1 :

Crochet 4 complete rounds, whereas at each side you continue to increase with 2 stitches. Stop when you reach a length of approximately 28 cm/11 inches and a width of 15 cm/5.9 inches. This is the bottom of your basket.

Step 2 :

At this point start to crochet 2 rows without increasing. By doing this the edge will rise. Insert your crochet hook only in the back loop instead of both loops.

Step 3 :

In the third row you create a double crochet in the first stitch, skip one stitch and create a double crochet in the third stitch. Insert back into the second stitch (where an opening is created by the stitch you just skipped) and create a double crochet. Now create a double crochet in the fifth stitch (the fourth stitch is skipped). Now create a double crochet in the fourth stitch (the one you just skipped). Crochet in the seventh stitch (skip the sixth) and so on. Continue this method of skipping and inserting back in the skipped stitch the whole row. This will give a nice decorative edge to the basket.

Step 4 :

Again create 2 rows with double crochets, a row with skipped stitches and inserting back in the skipped stitch, and again 2 rows of double crochets. You have reached a height of approximately 18 cm/7.1 inches.

Step 5 :

In the final round you create a row of single crochets, but in the middle of the row you create a hole by skipping 6 stitches, crochet 16 chain stitches and fasten with a single crochet in the seventh stitch, counted from the beginning of the chain. Repeat with the single crochet and make another hole on the other side of the basket.

Step 5 :

Create a final row with single crochet, but on the chain stitches of the previous round (the handles) you use double crochets. Fasten off and secure the loose threads on the inside.

Info :

Done!

Info :

Conversion note: 12 mm crochet hook = US size 16; approximate finished height after shaping: 18 cm/7.1 inches; base approximately 28 cm x 15 cm.

Assembly Instructions

  • Create the handles in the final rounds by skipping 6 stitches, chaining 16 stitches and joining with a single crochet in the 7th chain; repeat symmetrically on the opposite side.
  • Work the final row using double crochets on the chain stitches of the handles to reinforce them and make them sturdy.
  • Fasten off and weave in all loose yarn ends on the inside of the basket using a yarn needle for a neat finish.
  • Block or shape the basket by smoothing and adjusting the sides while damp, then allow to dry to help the basket keep its form.
  • Check both handle openings for symmetry and evenness, and reinforce by adding extra stitches if a handle feels loose.

Important Notes

  • 💡Keep an eye on your tensions: too tight tension will make the basket stiff and small, while too loose tension will make it floppy.
  • 💡Work the two upright rows inserting the hook into the back loop only to make the edge rise properly and form neat ridges.
  • 💡Measure the base as you go and stop when you reach approximately 28 cm x 15 cm to ensure the correct final dimensions.
  • 💡Use a large 12 mm hook as recommended to get the same gauge and structure with Zpagetti T-shirt yarn.
  • 💡Fasten off and secure tails on the inside of the basket so the exterior remains tidy and ready for use.
