Chunky Chevron Basket
Design by Sarah Ruane from Ned and Mimi.
This chunky crochet basket has a such a unique texture, thanks to the “diagonal chevron” stitch pattern. If this stitch pattern is new to you, then please do check out the video tutorial!
The basket is crocheted with super bulky (#6 yarn) so it works up very quickly. I used some stash yarn for my basket, but I have listed some suitable alternatives in the pattern. For my basket, I used a 7mm (L) crochet hook. It is not absolutely essential to match gauge for this pattern (as it would be for a garment for example). But you will want to choose a hook size that gives you nice tight stitches, just to make your basket a little more sturdy.
