Hemp Basket Crochet Pattern

crochet hemp basket

Recently, I found myself strolling at Ace Hardware store more often than usual. I used to go to craft shops to get my craft supplies but now seems like I found an “auxiliary” place to buy… the HARDWARE shop!!! I bought a roll of manila rope from my local Ace Hardware store and made a hemp basket by coiling the rope with yarn using the crochet method.

If you have been a facebook fan of Craft Passion, I have asked a question a few hours ago about what can you make with the rope, yarn, and a crochet hook, and this is my answer: a hemp basket. Sara has had the closest answer and many of you guessed it right… basket, bingo!!!! I also especially like the answer from Lorraine and Alison, they said plant hanger, coasters, hot pads for the table/countertop, Dimple H said doormat, Yusi said table mat, yes, they can be done with this method too. There are many other creative ideas from the answers, **love them all** I am going to explore them out with it possibilities if time permits, like build a house as Gillian mentioned… maybe with a huge roll of rope, who knows… there is no limit when it comes to creativity. I enjoyed reading through all your answers, you are simply awesome!!!!

3 basic materials to work on, the manila rope, yarn or twine, and a crochet hook.

Crochet basic round according to the pattern (R1).

On round 2 onwards, all single crochet (sc) stitches in the pattern mean single crochet on the rope.
Place the yarn under the rope.

Insert hook into the loops of the previous round’s stitch, yarn over (yo) the yarn from the top of the rope.

Pass through the loops of the previous round’s stitches to complete the sc around the rope.

Crochet the base follow the pattern above. This is the 2nd round, remember to place a marker so you will know where is the beginning stitch of the round.

    Hey that’s a great basket.. I’ve made a few.. but… having trouble with the rope and crochet sagging mostly at the bottom..and becoming bigger at the top. Also, how did you get so few crochet stitches around the rope? I have a many when I make the rope baskets, and I think it’s contributing to the sagging and stretching of the rope and yarn.Any hints? Thank you kindly! Pat

      First, the crochet yarn has to be a rigid type, like cotton, so that it can catch the rope well. Secondly, the tension has to be firm too. Hope these tips helped.

    I am new to Crocheting so my problems are likely due to lack of experience, but I am having trouble with this pattern. Every time I finish a round, I am finding I have a gap between the end of my round and the first chain space in the next row. It means I have to reach over a gap to get to the next chain space. I have tried charting it out a number of times and I am always left with a blank gap at the end of each round that I have to reach over for the next stitch. The only way I started to seem to make more sense was it I added an uncounted chain stitch at the end of each row. But that doesn’t seem right since that isn’t what is listed in the pattern. Also, I am confused about the pattern itself. On Row 1, you say single crochet 8 times into the second chain from the hook, chain one, then place marker. That last chain doesn’t seem to be counted in the stitch count, but chains are counted as stitches everywhere else. Why isn’t it counted here?

      Thanks for the feedback. I should have mentioned that the last ch1 at round 1 is not counted as a stitch, that’s why it is still counted as 8 stitches on round 1. I just edited the pattern and sorry for the confusion.

    I have been trying to make this basket several times now and am having trouble getting to the right shape. My basket is forming a cup shape quite early on and based on other comments and your responses, it sounds like my tension may be too tight. Can you please tell me what the shape should be? Is it a flat bottom with sides? If yes, how many rows make up the base and should make a flat mat and with which row do I start the sides? Thanks so much in advance.

      March 29, 2017 at 12:58 am

      You are right about the tension, if your tension is too tight, it will form the bowl bottom. The bottom (row 1 to row 9) is flat, the side starts from row 10 onwards.
      Hope this helps.

      Your tension could be a little too loose. Crochet a snugger tension will hold the rope better.

      Hi bookyeti, I didn’t measure the exact length of the rope I have used for this basket. I remember I used less than a roll of 50ft, so if you convert 50ft into yard, it will be about 16 to 17 yards. Hope this helps.

      Using this rope to crochet a tote might not be suitable as the tote will be quite heavy. Perhaps substitute the rope with something lighter weight will be a better choice.

          Hi Janae, I didn’t actually measure how much yarn I use to crochet. It is not much actually, as you can see from the picture that most of the stitches are just chain stitches with single crochet in intervals. I would say half a skein will do just an estimate.

    this is a beautiful basket, I started it last night and it made a flat mat, but it sure is beautiful LOL! I used what I had and the rope isn’t thick or stiff enough so I’m going to get some different rope to work with! It took a little bit to get the hang of the stitches and the instructions but by about the 10th row I figured it all out. Thank you so much for the beautiful pattern

So I took it out and diligently counted every stitch but I am still having problems! Has anyone other then the lady completed and had it come out exactly as Craft Passion? If there is a update again can someone send it I am trying to make it for my garden veggies this summer!!

    Hi!
    I started crocheting this magic basket but on round 9 i suddenly realized that my rope is much shorter than 50 feet…
    I wander if there is any kind of algorithm for increase.
    What do you suggest me to do?
    Should I continue from round 15 ignoring the middle rounds??

    • Craft Passion -

      June 7, 2013 at 9:26 am

      It could be that your rope tension is loose. If you continue from round 15 onwards, you will need to modify the pattern to suite the amount of stitches for the upright body.

        Hi Ruth,
        Got both your pictures, thanks.
        Looks like the rope you are using is too thin compare to mine. This is the main reason why the size is small. In order to increase the size of the basket, you need to increase the base diameter by crocheting a few more rounds. It involves more intensive pattern design. Another way is that you can use multiple strand for the rope but I am not sure if they can stay up right as the rope you are using is soft.

    Is there a way to block this basket? I finished it and held the rope in the best shape possible as I was going, but it is all wonky – not a perfectly shaped basket as shown in your photo. Because the stitches holding it together are cotton yarn – it “gives”. The rope is stronger to hold its shape than the cotton yarn is to keep it a certain shape. Thank you!

      I didn’t block the basket and it stays up perfectly well as shown in the picture. The yarn is to bring and form the rope is this shape, it can’t help it up. The basket is standing well because it is “stacking” itself on each round.

    After studying the pattern a bit more, I THINK (I may very well be wrong ;o) ), what you mean is to work into the next or same chain SPACE (whether it is a space made up of 2 chains or 1 chain between each sc), rather than just the next chain stitch. That would make it come out correct. The number of repeats – you must mean work that many TOTAL. I have charted it out this way and it works this way with your number of total stitches. 🙂 So that’s how I’m working it anyway. 🙂

    It is a beautiful basket! I do have a couple of questions please, I’m having difficulty understanding the instructions. Are we to work around up to the stitch marker on every row? Or are there some rows we don’t go all the way to the stitch marker? Also, do you mean for us to count each chain in a row as a stitch that you include in the total stitch count? After going through the first several lines of the pattern, I do see that there are errors either in the instructions or in the stitch counts.

    For instance, in row 4, the instructions basically say to put a sc, ch 1, sc in EACH chain stitch. (You say to sc, ch1 in next, sc, ch1 in same so that means 2 sc, ch1s in the next ch st.) But that will give you way more than 32 stitches.

    In Row 5, if I go by the number of stitches you say I should have in row 4, there is no way to repeat the instructions “8 times”. There aren’t enough stitches in row 4 to work into that many times. Do you mean work it once and then REPEAT 7 more times or maybe do that 8 times TOTAL?

    In Row 6, you say *sc on next ch st, ch2*, repeat* 16 times [48]. There are 24 chains in row 5 (if worked as the instructions say). So if we work a sc and 2 chains in every chain stitch from row 5 (as written), the total stitches if we count chains would be (72). Do you mean to only work in the first 16 chains and stop that row or do you mean to skip some chains?

    Thanks for clarifying! I tried charting it and it doesn’t work charted the way it is written unless you mean not to go all the way to the stitch marker on each row, or unless the instructions are not exact.

      Hi B.D. the pattern works around each round till the stitch marker. Basically, the sc stitch is working on the ch stitch and ch space. I should have put a remark to make the pattern clearer. Chain space means the space between two sc that link by chain stitches, it could be 1 ch or 2 ch stitches.
      For Round 4, the sc,ch,sc work on the chain space of round 3 (2 chain stitches). There is 4 stitches to repeat 8 times, so the total stitch at the end of Round 4 is 32 stitches. Out of the 32 stitches, the 16 stitches are chain stitch.
      For Round 5, instead of sc,ch,sc,ch as 1 group in round 4, now you increase a chain stitch in the group to become sc,2ch,sc,ch (become 5 stitches), so 5 x 8 = 40 stitches. You will have enough chain stitch to perform. There are 24 chain stitches out from the total 40 stitches, but only 16 chain spaces.
      For Round 6, again, it should be ch space when it come to the 2ch stitches on round 5.
      I hope this explanation clear your doubt.
      Thanks for bringing up this matter so me to clarify. I will amend the pattern to make it clearer.
      Thanks again.

    I am attempting to follow the pattern, but cannot grasp the instructions. I think between row 6 and 7 another row should be added with {56}. Is anyone else having trouble understanding the pattern directions? I have been crocheting for years and I can sort of make it up as I go along and come up with the right amount of stitches for each row. But the actual instructions do not make sense to me. Thank you for any help or advice!

      I finally understood the numbering of the pattern, but I could never get it to work. It only made a flat mat. I had to add some decreases to get the basket to curve upwards and form a basket. I added rows and pulled them out several times before adding the decreases. This pattern did not work for me and it is written unlike any other pattern I have ever seen. I have been crocheting for at least 10 years and have seen lots of patterns. If you are planning on using this pattern – beware that it is confusing and does not work.

          I do not have a picture. Following your pattern as best I could I only made a round flat mat. I pulled out some rows, modified it by adding some decreases and finally was able to get a basket shape. This pattern did not make sense to me, but thanks for your reply.

            I wish that I knew what make you confused to make the mistake, at least I can improvise or explain further. This pattern is correct and workable and it is how the basket was made and created.

            My trouble began with R2. I worked all stitches in the ch space throughout the pattern. To get 16 total stitches on R2 I *sc ch1 sc ch1* in each ch sp from the previous row. Here is how I progressed…
            R3 *sc ch2 in ch space, sc ch2 sc ch2 in ch space* Repeat around (24)
            R4 *sc ch 1 in ch space (twice), sc ch1 sc ch1 in ch space* Repeat around (32)
            R5 *sc ch 2 in ch space (3 times alternating ch1 and ch2), sc ch1 or 2 alternating, sc ch2 in ch space* Repeat around (40)
            R6 *sc ch 2 in ch space (4 times), sc ch2 sc ch2 in ch space* Repeat around (48)
            R7 *sc ch1 in ch space (2 times), sc ch1 sc ch 1 in ch space* Repeat around (64)
            R8 *sc ch2 in ch space (3 times alternating ch1 and ch2), sc ch1 or 2 alternating, sc ch 1 or 2 alternating in ch space* Repeat around (80)

            …and so on. Maybe I did it wrong, but it was the only way I could figure out to get the right amount of stitches for each row. I could never understand the “repeat 8 or 16 times”. Instead I divided the total stitch count for each row by the 8 or 16 times to repeat to figure out how many stitches I should do and how many to increase in. The whole idea is good and the finished product is nice. This pattern is just unlike any I have done before and I was very confused. Then mine never curled upwards to form a basket, but was a flat mat instead. If I had made it bigger it would have been a nice rug/mat. Maybe you can include some ideas on how you created this pattern. The pictures were very valuable and helpful!

            I am still trying to figure out this pattern. Why on round 2 does it say “*sc on next st, ch1*, repeat * 8 times, mm. {16}” If there were 8 stitches on round 1 and you sc in each stitch 8 times won’t there be 8 stitches on round 2 and not 16?

              sc counts as 1 stitch, ch counts as another stitch, so total is 2 stitches, if 2 stitches repeat 8 times that is 2 x 8 which is equal to 16 stitches, it is just simple mathematics 🙂 Hope you can figure it out soon 🙂

            Thanks! That helps a lot. I thought I was supposed to only crochet in the ch spaces. How about in round 3… it says “*sc on next ch sp, ch2*, repeat* 8 times, mm. {24}” If I have 16 ch spaces from round 2 how can I repeat 8 times to get 24?

            Actually I think I just figured it out. The ch count as stitches too. The sc and the ch add up to the number at the end in brackets. The number in brackets is not just how many sc there are on each row. That is what had me so confused. Thanks again for your help!

    Thank you for posting this!! I have started a project in Ravelry for it and am working on it right now!

    One thing about how to work around the rope: If you know how to crochet cast on in knitting…this will produce the same results. I couldnt follow along with your directions and just did it like a crochet cast on. It’s working nicely and looks like yours. I think it might be working it backwards from yours tho.

    Again, thank you! The ladies on my Christmas list thank you too!

    I found the rope at my local Ace store and started crocheting, BUT I can’t get away from the stench coming from the rope! It smells like motor oil or some kind of solvent. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Can the rope be washed successfully? Any ideas? Thank you in advance!!!

      It is coated with some oil since it is meant for outdoor. Perhaps yours has heavier coat than the one I bought, but the smell will go off after while.
