About This Revisto Basket Crochet Pattern

This pattern creates a sturdy, decorative Revisto basket using Hoooked Zpagetti textile yarn and a 12 mm hook. You will crochet a reinforced oval base, build up the sides, add a decorative skipping-row edge and finish with two strong handles. The pattern highlights simple stitches and a textured effect created by working in the back loop and inserting back into skipped stitches.

Why You'll Love This Revisto Basket Crochet Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it turns recycled textile yarn into a practical, beautiful home accessory you can finish quickly. I enjoy the way the oversized yarn and large hook make every stitch look bold and textured, giving the basket lots of character without complicated techniques. The decorative skipping-and-inserting row is one of my favorite parts because it makes a simple repetitive stitch look intentional and stylish. Making the handles as part of the final rounds keeps the construction neat and secure, which I always appreciate in home items.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing this Revisto Basket by changing the yarn color or combining two colors held together for a marled effect.

For a smaller version I switch to thinner T-yarn or a smaller hook and reduce the starting chain length and number of increase rounds.

If I want a super-sturdy basket I use two strands of T-yarn held together for extra thickness and structure.

To make the basket taller I simply add extra sets of rows (two rows double crochet then decorative row) until I reach the desired height.

I sometimes add a fabric lining sewn to the inside to make the basket suitable for small objects and to hide stitches.

Try decorative finishing by adding a contrasting color for the final rounds or by using slip stitch edgings for a neat, modern look.

I also experiment with handle styles: shorter inset handles, longer shoulder handles, or even leather handles sewn through the sides for a mixed-material finish.

For gift versions I embroider a simple motif on one side or attach a small crocheted flower or label for personalization.

If you want a flexible tote, skip the final rigid rounds and make the sides softer by using fewer rows or a looser tension.

Don’t be afraid to mix yarn types: combining T-yarn with a cotton rope for the bottom can create a stable base and a softer upper edge for an interesting texture contrast.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the increase placement on the base sides will make the base oval skewed; mark the side increase points and increase by two stitches at each side every round to keep the shape even. ✗ Crocheting through both loops instead of inserting in the back loop for the side rows will prevent the edge from rising; insert your hook only in the back loop for the two rows that lift the edge. ✗ Forgetting to measure the base as you expand can lead to an incorrectly sized basket; measure length and width frequently and stop increasing when approximately 28 cm by 15 cm is reached. ✗ Not counting stitches during the decorative skipping row can create inconsistent holes; count carefully and follow the skip-and-insert sequence (work into skipped stitch afterwards) across the whole row to maintain the decorative pattern. ✗ Tension that is too tight with bulky T-yarn will distort the shape and make joining handles difficult; keep a relaxed consistent tension and adjust hook size only if necessary for drape and feel.

Info :

Used stitches: ch = chain ss = slip stitch dc = double crochet tr = trebles

Info :

Our original Zpagetti T-yarn is handpicked and selected by our own production centre in Portugal. Hoooked Zpagetti textile yarn is fully recycled and made of superior remnants from the European fashion industry and can be washed in the machine on cold temperatures. An important quality of Hoooked Zpagetti is the varying thickness and texture of the threads, that is why it is important to keep measuring the dimensions and the shape of the work for each pattern.

Step 1 :

Start by making a slip knot and then crochet 10 chain stitches. Crochet your first row in the chain with double crochets (insert through both loops to create a firm bottom). Create 3 double crochets in the last stitch, by doing so you automatically will get to the other side of the chain. Continue creating double crochets on the other side of the chain. The example is shown in the scheme below.

Step 1 :

Crochet 4 complete rounds, whereas at each side you continue to increase with 2 stitches. Stop when you reach a length of approximately 28 cm/11 inches and a width of 15cm/5.9 inches. This is the bottom of your basket.

Step 2 :

At this point start to crochet 2 rows without increasing. By doing this the edge will rise. Insert your crochet hook only in the back loop instead of both loops.

Step 3 :

In the third row you create a double crochet in the first stitch, skip one stitch en create a double crochet in the third stitch. Insert back into the second stitch (where an opening is created by the stitch you just skipped) and create a double crochet. Now create a double crochet in the fifth stitch (the fourth stitch is skipped). Now create a double crochet in the fourth stitch (the one you just skipped). Crochet in the seventh stitch (skip the sixth) and so on. Continue this method of skipping and inserting back in the skipped stitch the whole row. This will give a nice decorative edge to the basket.

Step 4 :

Again create 2 rows with double crochets, a row with skipped stitches and inserting back in the skipped stitch, and again 2 rows of double crochets. You have reached a height of approximately 18 cm/ 7,1 inches.

Step 5 :

In the final round you create a row of single crochets, but in the middle of the row you create a hole by skipping 6 stitches, crochet 16 chain stitches and fasten with a single crochet in the seventh stitch, counted from the beginning of the chain. Repeat with the single crochet and make another hole on the other side of the basket.

Step 5 :

Create a final row with single crochet, but on the chain stitches of the previous round (the handles) you use double crochets. Fasten off and secure the loose threads on the inside.

Info :

Done!

Info :

Conversion note: UK = US. Double crochet = Single crochet. Treble crochet = Double crochet. 12 mm crochet hook = 16 crochet hook. 60 cm = 23.62 inch.

Assembly Instructions

  • After completing the final row, create the handle holes by skipping 6 stitches and crocheting 16 chains, then fasten with a single crochet in the 7th stitch of the chain to anchor the handle securely.
  • Repeat the handle creation on the opposite side of the basket so the handles are aligned and directly across from each other for balance.
  • Work a final round of single crochets around the basket, and double crochets on the chain stitches used for the handles to reinforce them and create a neat finish.
  • Fasten off the yarn securely after finishing the final round, thread the loose ends through a yarn needle and weave them into the inside of the basket to hide and secure them.
  • Block or shape the basket gently by hand if needed, ensuring the base sits flat and the handles are even; reshape while still slightly damp if you washed it after making.

Important Notes

  • 💡Always measure the base as you increase—stop when the bottom reaches approximately 28 cm x 15 cm to achieve the correct basket proportions.
  • 💡Work the two rows that raise the edge by inserting your hook in the back loop only to ensure the rim stands up correctly.
  • 💡Use a 12 mm hook as specified to maintain the correct gauge for the pattern and the intended size and stiffness.

FAQs

What size will the finished piece be?

The bottom should measure approximately 28 cm length by 15 cm width and the basket reaches about 18 cm high when following the pattern with the recommended yarn and hook.

Can I wash the basket?

Yes, Hoooked Zpagetti textile yarn is washable; machine wash on a cold cycle is recommended, but reshape the basket after washing and dry flat.

Do I need advanced crochet skills for this pattern?

No — this pattern is beginner friendly and uses basic stitches (chains, double crochets, slip stitch) with clear step-by-step instructions; understanding back loop work and counting is helpful.

Can I change the size of the basket?

Yes, increasing the initial chain length and adjusting the number of increase rounds will make the base larger; changing yarn weight and hook size will also alter the final dimensions.
