If you have been doing any pre-spring cleaning or organizing then you know that you can never have too many baskets! A beautiful crochet basket adds interest and life to any area of your home. Plus, they’re actually super useful! I love free crochet basket patterns because crochet baskets are great for holding washcloths, jewelry, potted plants, car keys and so much more.
If you’ve ever gone shopping for baskets before, then you know that baskets can be quite pricey. You can make your own at home for half the price and sometimes you can even get away with using scrap yarn for them. That’s right, free crochet scrap yarn basket patterns are totally a thing – and they’re just as amazing as they sound.
There’s one more reason that I decided that y’all really needed a bunch of amazing free crochet basket patterns this week. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but somehow February is almost over and that means that Easter is right around the corner! A colorful homemade crochet Easter basket is just the thing to make the holiday extra special for your little ones. Just scroll down and see!

5. Long Neck Dinosaur Basket
The tapestry crochet technique lets you build up an image stitch by stitch using single crochet stitches and two or more colors. If you hate changing colors, then just make the basket in one color and cross stitch the second color over the stitches. You could even put your own spin on it with a different picture!
