These sweet little baskets are made by building onto the hearts crochet pattern from last week’s pattern here. The crossing double crochets and skipped stitches used on the sides create an X O X O effect. Perfect for all your lovely Valentines!

Might I suggest that in row 3 (4th crochet row) it would be helpful to crochet stitches just in the front of the stitches in the previous row so that the basket sits straighter and firmer.
I like your site. I’m gonna make the heart basket and use one side of the sachet for coasters to to fit the basket. Thanks for allowing me to follow the site. Thanks,Kay
I love your site. I think I’ll make the heart basket and use one side of sachet for coasters. Thanks for accepting me. Kay
Absolutely adore this. I make things to sell for ferret rescues and would love to grow this into a bigger version for a bed. Do you have any idea how you would go about making this in a bigger version?
I just love these heart baskets!
So happy you like them! Thanks, Rachel 🙂
