Oval Basket Double Strand – Crochet
January 12, 2023
A while back I created this small, cute oval basket (see photo) to organise my crochet/sewing room.
You can find the free pattern at this link.
This time I wanted to create a bigger oval basket to organise some video-games controllers.
To make the basket bigger, using the same pattern, I simply used double strand of the same cotton I used for the first pattern.
Here below the free pattern for this basket!
This pattern is totally free, but it’s intellectual property of Elendipity:
You can use it and, of course, you can sell the final products you create, but you cannot sell/alterate/copy the pattern.
You should also credit Elendipity (as pattern creator) whenever you sell/share the final product.
Feel free to tag me on my Instagram if you create it, I would love to see your works!!
I wanted to create shades between the rows so I used multiple colours alternating the strands, but, of course, you can use the yarn and the colours you prefer.
With the Cotton 8/8 (used as double strand) my basket measures:
W 24 cm – D 14 cm – H 10 cm.
Bear in mind that bigger the yarn, bigger will be your project.
Here the list of the material I used for this specific project:
Here below the list of the stitches (US terms) for this project.
Don’t worry, it’s beginner friendly, it just asks a little bit of practice the oval shape.
The initial chains of the rounds and the SS to close the round don’t count as a stitch.
At the end of each round you can find the stitch count in brackets.
Shall we start?
Let’s go!!
To understand better how to do the oval, have a look at this video.
Below the video, you will find the written pattern.
Starting with two strands of Colour A:
CH 20
DC 17 starting from the 3rd CH from the hook, 6DC into last chain. You are now working on the opposite side of the foundation chain. DC 16, 5DC into the last CH, SS in the first stitch to join. (44)
Ch 2, INC, DC 16, (INC) x 6 times, DC 16, (INC) x 5 times, SS in the first stitch to join. (56)
Ch 2, INC, DC 17, (INC, DC 1) x 6 times, DC 16, (INC, DC 1) x 5 times, SS in the first stitch to join. (68)
Now we will start to work only SC (no DC anymore), so also the INC will be of SC.
Ch 1, INC, SC 18, (INC, SC 2) x 6 times, SC 16, (INC, SC 2) x 5 times, SS in the first stitch to join. (80)
Now you will work the top part of the project (giving shape to the basket) and I would recommend you to yarn under (instead of yarn over) in each stitch: this will help avoiding that the sides will bulge.
At this link, you can find how to do Yarn Under and the differences between Yarn Under and Yarn Over, with also a short video-tutorial to show you better.
This round will be worked BLO.
