Tiered Crochet Produce Storage Baskets
Create a vertical set by making two or three baskets and hanging them in a stacked arrangement.
Materials
- Sturdy cotton, jute, t-shirt yarn, or bulky home-decor yarn
- Matching crochet hook for your yarn
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Wall hook or peg for hanging
Step-by-step instructions
- Start with a magic ring or small foundation circle for the bottom of the basket.
- Work tight single crochet or half double crochet rounds, increasing evenly until the base is the width you want.
- Continue working up the sides without increasing so the basket begins to form a deep pocket.
- Use a dense stitch tension so the basket keeps its shape when it is filled.
- When the basket is tall enough, shape the upper back or rim so the opening sits slightly lower in front.
- Create a reinforced hanging loop or strap at the top by chaining, turning, and working back across the chain with firm stitches.
- Fasten off, weave in all ends, then block or gently shape the basket before hanging it on a secure hook.
- Repeat the basket in two additional sizes, then hang the pieces vertically with enough space between each basket for easy access.
Safety and styling tip
Use a secure wall hook and treat the basket as light-to-medium storage unless your yarn, stitch density, and hanging hardware are built for heavier weight.
