Fall For Granny Stitch Basket: Free Crochet Pattern

As the crisp air of autumn settles in, it’s the perfect time to enhance your home with our charming “Fall for Granny Baskets.” These delightful baskets are crocheted using the beloved granny stitch pattern, beautifully coordinating with our “Fall for Granny Blanket” and “Pumpkins” to create a cohesive seasonal aesthetic.

The pattern is designed to be worked from the bottom up in the round, offering four different sizes that increase by one round for each size, allowing for versatility in your crafting projects. We’ve included a playful twist by utilizing alternating colours in sets of three, resulting in a fun pop of colour that’s sure to brighten any space.

To finish off, we’ll guide you through adding sturdy single crochet stitches and chain spaces to create handles, making your baskets as functional as they are beautiful. You can choose to complete the top edge with a standard single crochet or opt for a reverse single crochet to achieve a delightful rope-like effect.

This quick and easy pattern is perfect for all skill levels and even includes a tutorial on YouTube for the small-size basket. Get ready to craft your way into the season with our “Fall for Granny Baskets” and bring a festive touch to your home!

Substituting Yarn

The “Fall for Granny Baskets” pattern is designed to be crocheted using a bulky weight #5 yarn, specifically leaning towards the heavier side of the bulky spectrum. It’s important to note that some colours within this yarn category may vary in thickness, leading to slight differences in yardage. To ensure that you have enough yarn for your project, we recommend having some extra yarn on hand to avoid running short.

If you choose to use a substitute yarn, be sure to check your gauge to ensure that your baskets come out to the intended size. You may need to adjust your hook size accordingly.

We’ve provided a list of suitable yarn substitutes below. Additionally, you can create a bulky weight yarn by holding two strands of worsted-weight yarn together. This method provides flexibility in colour matching with our “Fall for Granny” pumpkin and blanket patterns, and it’s also a fantastic way to use up your yarn stash.
