The Free Lila Basket Crochet Pattern – Little Baskets Are Not the Same

Happy March! As always, it feels like the year is just flying by me, ya know? It’s always just flying. Anyway, with the new month and the new week that means I’ve got a new pattern as well and I hope you’re excited – meet the Lila Basket crochet pattern!

Does this design look familiar? Because this is a variation on January’s Lila Pocket Scarf, which I loved and could not get enough of. It was the texture that I loved and really wanted to use it again and after thinking about it hard, I came to the conclusion that a basket would be the perfect usage. Luckily I had a bunch of Hue + Me in my stash and I love using it for baskets (I’ve used it on both the Amelia Basket and the Calista Basket).

I really wanted to lean into the two tone of the Calista Basket for this design because I though it would really make the texture of the Lila Basket really pop, ya know? And then you can make lots of colors or just 2 and it’d work so fun. Ooh, and you can definitely make this basket larger or smaller with adding or removing increases from the design or make it taller with lots of rows. It’s all up to you! And each design can look different every time.

Anyway, I hope you’re well and doing the best you can right now. Wishing you love and joy <3
& as always to be kind to each other, wash your masks, and stay safe friends

Please note: I was provided Hue + Me for this pattern by Lion Brand Yarn for the purposes of designing the Lila Basket crochet pattern, without compensation. I wasn’t provided the yarn with the expectations of positive or negative reviews but I honestly can say I do enjoy this yarn, I used it on my Lila Pocket Scarf and it is a fantastic yarn. If you purchase yarn through any of the links in this post, I will be compensated.
