A crochet hanging basket can add to the charm of your studio or your kid’s nursery all while giving you a little extra storage space for your lightweight items. Use them to store towels, small stuffed toys or even hold plastic bags in your kitchen.
Since this crochet hanging basket pattern is designed using the plush and bulky Bernat blanket yarn all it takes is one strand to get a sturdy basket. No hassle of holding the strands together and hurting your hands. This is a very quick and easy pattern. When you get tired of working those Afghans this project could be the perfect break. I hope you enjoy the free crochet pattern.

Hi, question, after finishing row 8, I then go ahead and repeat it but I end up doing the last sc/DC right before my marker. Is that how it should be? I've frogged it twice š© thanks so much!

The last sc/dc should not be in the st right before the marker but one st before. I mean, after you do your last sc/dc, there will be one st free before the marker.

sc2tog is a decrease that will join 2 stitches into one. You can look under stitch explanations in the pattern or search Youtube for "single crochet decrease".

Try reducing the number of rounds before Round 8. I am sorry, I haven't tested it in smaller sizes. Your best bet would be to try a thinner yarn which will automatically make your basket smaller.
