Today, we have a snowflake basket tapestry crochet pattern from Sarah of No Hooks Given. I think you’re going to love this one and it’s perfect for the entire Fall/Winter season! Here’s what Sarah has to say about her Let it Snow Basket design:

My favorite seasons are Fall and Winter. In my hometown, it got so hot that we didn’t have much of a winter. I always was in love with the thought of winter, the scenery, and bundling up.

I absolutely love the saying ‘We are like a snowflake, all different in our own beautiful way’.

And no, the Let it Snow Snowflake Basket is featured as part of our 2021 Best of 30 Days of Cozy event!

I finally moved more North to be able to enjoy the chilly season. When I finally got to experience my first snow, I fell in love. Everything looked so different when covered in snow and it is truly is incredible.

Speaking of love, one of my favorite craft projects is house ware items. I love making items that will be used daily or weekly. I wanted to combine my love of snowflakes and housewares so I created The Let It Snow Basket.

In this blog post, you will find my smaller basket and the charts included to help you make this one of a kind piece. In the premium version of the pattern (see Pattern Downloads), you will find my larger basket that is large enough to help you organize clothes, big projects, blankets, and other large pieces.

I hope you can enjoy this homemade homeware project as much as I did design it.

• Tapestry needle
• Measuring tape

Stitches Used

• SL ST – Slip Stitch

• WC ST – Waistcoat Stitch
• REP – Repeat

Pattern Details

• Skill Level: Intermediate (the pattern might cause frustration for beginning crocheters)
• Gauge: 8 stitches X 8 rows = 4” square
• Stitch used for gauge: single crochet
• Terminology: US terminology
• Measurement(s):  Medium Size: 9.5-inch-tall, 10-inch-tall with handles, and 10 inches wide.
• No matter your skill level, I always suggest that you read through the pattern from beginning to end before beginning your work just to be sure you don’t have any questions that might cause frustration in the midst of your project.
• CH 1 does not count like a stitch.
• This basket is worked in the round from the bottom up creating the base first, the sides, then the handles.
• We will not be chaining at the start of any row unless noted. This will give a clean start of each row for a seam-free look.
• When creating the snowflake, we will be using the waistcoat stitch to help make sure our snowflake is stacking on top of each instead of slanting to the side. It also makes this basket very sturdy.
• When we start working the sides of the basket, start carrying the second color
• Make sure you are watching your yarn during color changes to not get tangled or twisted.
• Move up the stitch marker as you go to keep track of the beginning of each row.

Pattern Stitches Used:

• Crab Stitch’ is crocheting backward, for video tutorial click here
• Waistcoat Stitch is single crochet into the V of the ST rather than the front and back loops
