Crochet Basket Patterns
Crochet basket patterns make storage baskets with firm walls, usually worked in rounds from a flat base with tight single crochet. Stiffness comes from heavy yarn such as t-shirt yarn, cotton cord, or two or three strands held together, paired with a relatively small hook. Baskets hold toys, yarn, plants, and bathroom supplies.

How do you make a crochet basket stiff?
Make a crochet basket stiff by holding two or three strands of yarn together, using a hook smaller than normal, working tight single crochet, and turning the base-to-wall transition with a round worked in back loops only. A fabric stiffener adds extra rigidity.
