Circular hanging baskets crochet pattern - macrame cord 3 mm

These circular hanging baskets are quick to make with macrame cord and are whimsical containers that will serve as a lovely home décor project!
They are crocheted around a metal ring that can be hung up on a knob or a hook. Inside the basket, you can place your cute amigurumi dolls, potted succulent plants, keys or other trinkets!
This pattern includes 3 sizes, a small, middle and large version so you can make a nice collection of varying sizes. These baskets make great housewarming gifts.

About the crochet pattern:

  • The pattern is available in English (with American and English crochet terms) and in Dutch
  • Every basket consists of 1 circle, which is worked in a metal ring and 1 semicircle which you have to crochet on the circle
  • Only standard crochet terms are used
  • I have added photos that show clearly how to crochet around a ring and how to crochet the semicircle on the circle

Level: intermediate

Sizes:
• The largest size has a diameter of 26.5 cm
• The middle size has a diameter of 21.5 cm
• The smallest size has a diameter of 16.5 cm

Materials:

  • Hook J 10 / 4 = 6 mm
  • Needle with a large eye to finish the cord
  • 3 metal rings: 1 with a diameter of 25 cm, 1 with a diameter of 20 cm and 1 with a diameter of 15 cm
  • Macrame cord with a thickness of 3 mm and a length of 200 meters / 218 yards (I have used 2 skeins of ‘Bobbiny junior’. These skeins have a length of approx. 100 meter / 109 yards each. So you need 2 skeins = 200 meters / 218 yards)
