Crochet Hanging Baskets - FREE patterns!

These hanging crochet basket patterns will be perfect for creating some stylish storage ideas for bits and bobs that you can't find a home for or that you need closer to hand than at the back of a dresser or wardrobe.

What can you use hanging crochet baskets for?

Pretty much anything that's not really heavy!  

Hanging a crochet basket from a door, for example, can be a useful place to keep essentials like a scarf and gloves when it's chilly or perhaps sunglasses and a shawl during summer. Another use might be for unmatched socks waiting for a partner in the utility room or for clean flannels or dishcloths by a sink. They look great and can add a pop of colour or texture to a room as well as being useful little storage baskets...

I'm sure you'll find a great reason to make one up!

Hanging Crochet Basket Pattern

Here are a few hanging crochet basket patterns we think you'll find fun to make up for yourself or as a little crochet gift idea for friends and family.

This crochet pattern for a little basket which loops over a door handle is free and written by Soul Made Blog

The post has absolutely beautiful step by step pictures, so even a beginner can make up one of the lovely baskets.

This 'Toy Cocoon' from Yes have Some is a slightly different design, a little bigger with a smaller opening. Perfect for hanging on hooks on a child's bedroom wall to store soft toys. You just need to choose your yarn carefully, use a chunky yarn or use 3 strands together, slightly more difficult to crochet but you can combine colours and achieve some great effects.

This design for a hanging crochet basket from Moogly is different again, more tub like and the folded over top gives it stability.

You can see it in action here holding a few useful cloths just where they are needed. We have some free patterns available for making crochet dishcloths and scrubbies. These baskets would be the perfect storage solution for them.
