Learn how to crochet a big square / cube shaped basket for storage! 10 x 10 x 10 inches. 10 mm crochet hook and acrylic yarn. Instead of using t-shirt yarn, this uses three-strands-together acrylic yarn to create the needed bulkiness. This creates sharper corners by seaming up the sides rather than crocheting the basket in the round. (Note that this is unfortunately interrupted by self-promotion.)

This little basket gets its woven-look texture from a unique tucking technique, which makes the basket sturdy enough to stand up on its own.

For this project, I used 1 skein of Red Heart Super Saver in Grey Heather with my Addi Express Kingsize Knitting Machine. My basket measures 5 1/2" high and 7" in diameter, but you could knit a longer tucked portion for a taller basket. The same technique can also be done on the Addi Express Professional Knitting Machine for a small basket.
