How to Crochet Hanging Baskets
I have an incredibly fun and functional project to share with you today. This pattern is all about adding a unique touch to your home while making your life tidier. Today, I’ll be sharing an exclusive free pattern for hanging crochet baskets, an artistic and fun way to organize your pantry, kitchen, or mud room! These baskets can be used to hold potatoes, garlic, onions when hung in the kitchen. If you prefer to hang them by your front door or mud room, these baskets would be perfect for holding mittens, scarves, and toques in the winter; or sunglasses, baseball hats, and sunscreen in the summer.

But there’s more to this post than just a pattern. It’s the result of an exciting collaboration with one of my favourite bloggers my good friend, Trish from TurmericMeCrazy. TurmericMeCrazy is an extraordinary blog that beautifully combines the art of cooking with the excitement of home renovation. Born out of a love for crafting delectable allergen friendly recipes and transforming spaces, TurmericMeCrazy is all about creating magic in the kitchen and beyond, which makes our collaboration so much more special. I hope you will check out her blog and follow her because she truly is a beautiful soul, and an extremely talented chef. My favourite recipe from her blog is her Vegan Gluten Free White Chocolate Raspberry Scones, I’m drooling just thinking about them!

Hi….love this pattern! I’ve been working on mine and just wondering before I continue….will the seam move up at a slant? Or am I doing something wrong?
Hi Jen,
No the seam should not move up in a slant. Be sure to count the number of stitches at the end of the round. The following photo is what your basket should like after the first few rounds. https://leeleeknits.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Hanging-Baskets-Crochet-Pattern-1.jpg
