Crochet beautiful baskets to keep order and decorate with taste
There is no room in the house where you cannot make good use of a basket to collect objects and bring some order. The woven ones are very beautiful to look at, and using crochet you can easily create them by hand.
In fact, these projects generally involve only one basic stitch repeated for the entire job, so they are also suitable for those who are not particularly skilled with crochet. Depending on how you work, the base will develop a circular, rectangular, oval or square shape, and then you can equip them with handles or lids. You can use yarns, cords or ribbons of different colors and indulge yourself in many ways.

You can make a basket of any shape, with a rectangular, square, round or oval base. This one you see above has a rectangular base, with rounded corners.
To make it, a thin but strong thread is crocheted, so as to wrap itself (as it is woven) around a rope. Both the choice of the type and color of the rope and the color of the thread itself also greatly affect the final aesthetic result, and you could indulge yourself with many color combinations so that your baskets are perfectly coordinated with the furniture or the room in which you will insert them.
It is a fairly large and capacious basket, so you will need to use a lot of yarn (just under 40 meters for a 6 mm diameter basket).
Even without using a rope, just using thick, sturdy yarns, as well as cords or webbing, you can crochet a variety of all-purpose baskets. Even smaller, round or oval and without handles, to be used to tidy up perhaps on the shelf around the sink or among the makeup products in the corner dedicated to the bathroom.
If you have a little more manual skills and you are not afraid to count stiches and follow a motif with designs that involve the use of yarns of different colors, you can easily create baskets decorated with graphic motifs of your choice. They are perfect for simple patterns like this cylindrical basket, ideal for holding just the balls of yarn while working on some project.
They are also very beautiful in two colors: this one, like the first one, is made by weaving the yarn around a white cord. But transparent rubber tubes could also be used!
Using very resistant yarns, and working them tightly (with a crochet number equal to that indicated on the ball, even choosing perhaps the smaller size between the two recommended), baskets are made that remain rigid even if you make them to be very tall. They are perfect for laundry, and you can also line them or close them like a bag with a fabric sewn inside.
