PENGUIN PILLOW. Chunky Crocheted Basket. While browsing the many lovely images on tumblr, I came across a picture of a beautiful chunky crocheted basket.

Chunky Crocheted Basket

I was delighted to see that a free pattern was available through a wonderful blog called “Crochet in Color”. Liz has three free patterns for baskets, and I decided to try this one here. I immediately went out and bought the super bulky yarn Liz recommends to create a stiff and sturdy texture for the basket. With this pattern, you hold two strands of yarn together, so if you use a smaller weight yarn, you will need to hold three or more strands together. I used Lion Brand’s “Wool-Ease Thick & Quick” in the colour “Wheat”. I started off by crocheting the base of the basket by crocheting round after round.

To create the first row of the body of the basket, you work in the back of each half double crochet. This creates a lovely seam separating the base of the basket from the body of the basket!
