Ariadne at Home Studio Handy Baskets Crochet Kit

Ariadne at Home Studio Handy Baskets Crochet Kit

Crochet two charming storage baskets for your home with the Ariadne at Home Studio "Handy Baskets" Crochet Kit. You’ll make one small and one medium-sized round basket with a beautiful two-tone texture and a folded edge. Perfect for keeping small items, craft supplies, or other odds and ends neatly organized.

You’ll crochet the baskets using Yarn and Colors Epic, which is made of 100% Cotton. In the Dutch-language Crochet Pattern, you’ll work with double strands throughout, giving the baskets a nice, sturdy texture.

Choose both colors yourself

You get to choose the main color and accent color yourself from the available Yarn and Colors Epic colors. Select 8 balls of color A (main color) and 2 balls of color B (accent color). The baskets in the photos were crocheted using 007 Cigar and 009 Limestone, but you can create any available color combination.

Here's what's included in the Crochet Kit

• 8 balls of Yarn and Colors Epic in your chosen main color (color A)
• 2 balls of Yarn and Colors Epic in your chosen accent color (color B)
• A Dutch-language digital Crochet Pattern (PDF) for both baskets, available via My Downloads after purchase

• 6 mm Crochet Hook – for the two-color pattern stitch
• Blunt-tipped darning needle (Wool Needle) – for weaving in loose chain stitches
• Scissors – for cutting the wires
• Row Counter (optional) – handy for keeping track of your RPMs

Dimensions

FAQ

Can I choose two colors that are completely different from the ones in the photos?
Yes. The combination shown—007 Cigar and 009 Limestone—is an example. You choose the main color (8 Balls) and the accent color (2 Balls) separately from the available Yarn and Colors Epic colors.

Why do I need both 5.5-mm and 6-mm Crochet Hooks?
Use 5.5 mm for the bottom and the finishing edge. For the two-color pattern stitch on the side, switch to 6 mm. You can order both sizes as extras.

Should I crochet the baskets with a single strand or a double strand of yarn?
Using double yarn. This is specified in the patterns for both sizes and adds more texture to the crocheted baskets.

Do I need a darning needle for the finishing touches?
Yes, a blunt-tipped darning needle is handy for neatly tucking away loose chain stitches. It is not included in the standard kit, but can be ordered as an extra.

Will I receive a printed or digital Crochet Pattern?
You will receive the Dutch-language pattern digitally as a PDF via My Downloads. No printed pattern will be included.
