DIY Crochet Basket | Crochet Macrame Basket – Room Decoration Crochet Project Free Pattern

Have you ever crocheted with macrame?
If yes, what did you make?


What I like about crocheting with macrame is how defined the stitches look. I made this flower meadow-inspired desk basket using two all-time favorite crochet stitches: a variation of the moss stitch and the star stitch. 

I also came up with a way to make both sides of the basket's oval base look almost identical, and I also tried to make the joins as invisible as possible. "What's the point?" You ask.

Because this is a shallow basket that will be sitting on a desk or table, it is an eye-level object. The insides will often also be visible, so in my opinion, it's better if it looks as neat as the outside. I want decorative objects to look attractive from all angles. Watch the video tutorial to find out how I did this!

You can use this basket to keep your writing utensils or crochet hooks. It also works as a bedside tray for eyeglasses if you wear glasses.
