At any given time you'll find an assortment of items on our coffee table: yarn, crochet hooks, remote controls, game controllers, books, etc. I don't mind the clutter, usually, but some times I go on a cleaning frenzy and literally flip the table upside down (after I remove the more fragile objects of course).

When the table is tidy the entire living room looks barren and without character. Why is that? I can't figure it out but the other day, after staring at the clean table, I wondered if a decorative bowl or basket would bring the room together. I like to think this crochet t-shirt yarn basket is doing the job. What do you think?

It takes very little time to make and is great for beginners.

Bonus: you can make your own t-shirt yarn by repurposing old t-shirts!

T-shirt Yarn Crochet Basket

To make this crochet basket you will need about 120 grams of t-shirt yarn and a size 10.00 mm hook.

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds, do not join or turn at the end of each round.

Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds.

If you’re a crochet beginner check out this post for help with working in the round.

Round 1: in magic ring make 6 sc

Round 2: inc in each st (12 sts)

Round 3: (sc, inc) x 6 (18 sts)

Round 4: (sc 2, inc) x 6 (24 sts)

Round 5: (sc 3, inc) x 6 (30 sts)

Rounds 6-10: work even

Round 11: sl st around. Fasten off and weave ends.

Your bowl is ready to use! Make it decorative, make it functional or both!
