Free Crochet Pattern- Geometric Crochet Basket

February 25, 2019 by Shellie Wilson

So, if you’re anything like me, your space is overflowing with crochet yarn. It’s everywhere. Well, what better place to store your yarn than in a basket made of yarn?!

That’s exactly what the Geometric Crochet Basket is. You can store lots of stuff in this creative and durable basket. But my personal favorite is to put it next to my workstation, overflowing with my yarn haul. I also love that you can use this to tote around all your gear as well, perfect for coming and going to yoga class.

It’s got a stylish chevron pattern that will fit into any home’s decor, and it’s got handles for easy transport. Make a laundry bin for your granddaughter headed to college. Or make a stylish basket for neat storage in a small space. This basket will hold up to whatever you need it to be.

Why should you make your own shopping bags or totes?  Plastic bags are from the same source as all plastic: crude oil. So what is wrong with crude oil?

The manufacturing process emits considerable amounts of pollution, and the product is not biodegradable. On land, plastic bags are one of the most common types of litter worldwide.

As plastic bags are lightweight and float easily, this means they can travel long distances when picked up by the wind this includes landing in the ocean. Then wildlife gets tangled or ingests the bags, both in the sea and on land.

Make a difference and make your own shopping grocery bags.  Have plastic bags you need to re-use? Consider making these DIY upcycled plastic bag crafts.

Crochet Pretty Scallop Pattern Necklace – A Delicate DIY You Can Make With Thread, Wire and Beads

If you love crochet jewelry projects that feel a little bit pretty and a little bit unexpected, this Crochet Pretty Scallop Pattern Necklace is such a fun one to try. It uses simple supplies like crochet thread, a hook, 24-gauge craft wire, and a few beads to create a lightweight statement necklace with a soft scalloped edge.

What I like about this project is that it feels a bit different from the usual crochet accessory patterns. Instead of yarn-only construction, the crochet is worked directly around wire, then finished with scalloped stitches and tiny beads for extra detail. The pattern is built in clear rounds, starting with chain loops around the wire, then adding double crochet scallops and a decorative final edging.

It’s definitely the kind of project that would appeal to crafters who enjoy mixing techniques. A little crochet, a little jewelry making, a little bead glueing, and suddenly you’ve got something that looks boutique without needing a huge pile of supplies. I can also see this being a nice stash-buster for leftover crochet thread, which we all know has a habit of lingering in drawers forever.

Another nice touch is that the design is easy to personalize. The tutorial suggests trying different yarn colors and bead choices, which makes this one of those projects you could recreate a few times and still get a completely different look each round.

If you’re after a crochet necklace pattern that’s feminine, handmade, and a little bit vintage-looking, this one is well worth a look. It’s sweet, wearable, and just unusual enough to make people ask, “Wait… you made that?”
