The Moss Stitch Storage Basket is a super quick to make and stylish accessory for your home. Made with more Hooked Zpagetti T-shirt yarn, this basket is the perfect remedy for any of your clutter.
I made the Lemon Peel Storage Basket a while ago, but it wasn’t the best shape. Partly due to the yarn not being consistent in width and my technique. So, I thought I’d give a basket another try with a different type of stitch to see if I could make improvements.
Moss Stitch Storgae Basket Tips
- The basket can be used with any type of yarn but I would recommend always using a slightly smaller hook than recommended. This will ensure a nice finish and avoid gaps showing
- I used Hooked Zpagetti with a 7mm hook
- Total size for this with the same yarn is 11″(28cm) X 12″(30.5cm)
- Try to keep the tension tight to get a neat finish, I sadly broke my beloved marble ergonomic hook because of this, so try to use something metal
- When the base is finished, to keep the corner neat double crochet (DC) each side of the corner together (see below image)
- The sides of the basket are made with Moss Stitch, alternating a CHAIN with a DOUBLE CROCHET (DC)

Love this pattern !!! But how am I to print the instructions please 🙏 And THANK YOU!! 😊
Hey Cherie, thank you for the message. You can print directly from your browser, I don’t have a PDF I’m afriad.
Why are there no US instructions? They need to be included in this pattern.
Hi Elizabeth, I’m based in the UK unfortunately. The pattern uses mostly UK Double crochet which is US Single crochet. Here is a helpful conversion list https://dabblesandbabbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Crochet-Symbols-Chart1.pdf.
