Tactile, roomy and ready in no time, the Spiral Crochet Basket is as enjoyable to make as it is to use. Crocheted in continuous rounds with an 8mm hook and the simplest of stitches, it’s a relaxing TV project that works up quickly and shows off the gorgeous, velvety texture of Scheepjes Big Darling.

The basket uses just one generous cake of yarn and measures 30cm (12in) across and 15cm (6in) deep. It’s the ideal size for keeping a WIP close by in your craft space, hiding the remotes in the living room, or tidying away woolly winter accessories in the hallway. Handles are optional, so you can make it just how you like it.

The pattern is available for free via scheepjes.com.
