Crochet tutorial of a miniature basket.
If you are a miniature crochet lover, like me, this pattern is for you!
I’ll show you how to crochet a simple small basket with two side handles and one center handle.
I thought of making this tutorial, to combine it with an amigurumi bunny, with chocolate eggs inside the basket, to give at Easter to my kids!
🧶 Yarn used to make the miniature crochet basket
- 50 gr BIO BIMBO SESIA shaded light blue, beige and white (code 3210)
- Crochet hook 2-3 mm
- Stitch marker
- needle
- scissor
Useful information before starting
Start with a circular base in a spiral, without closing with the slip stitch.
Use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of each round and move it to each new round, it will be useful for not losing count.

Finished the 8th round, make 1 SL ST in the next stitch and cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, use it to sew.
Pass the thread between the back loop stitch of the circle you just made and in the stitch of the 9th round of the basket (i.e. the round where you worked the back loop only).

Work 1 SC in each stitches around and finish the basket crocheting the Crab stitch.
Close with 1 SL ST and cut the yarn, leave a long tail and use it to sew one side of the handles on the opposite side of the basket.
