Blush & Sage Ribbed Round Basket

There is something deeply comforting about a handmade basket. This design brings warmth to your everyday storage, perfect for holding rolled towels, yarn, or bedside essentials.

Crafted in our signature dusty rose and sage green palette, the ribbed texture adds a cozy feel, while the folded cuff gives it a polished look.

Whether gifting it to a loved one or keeping it for yourself, this basket is a lovely reminder of the beauty of making things by hand.

1. Base

Start with a sturdy, flat circular base using warm cream yarn to anchor your basket.

• Round 1: 12 hdc in a magic ring [12]
• Round 2: hdc inc × 12 [24]
• Round 3: (hdc, hdc inc) × 12 [36]
• Round 4: (2 hdc, hdc inc) × 12 [48]
• Round 5: (3 hdc, hdc inc) × 12 [60]
• Round 6: (4 hdc, hdc inc) × 12 [72]

1. Fasten off warm cream and join dusty rose in any stitch.

2. Body

Build the walls of the basket with a cozy, ribbed texture using front and back post stitches.

• Round 7: sc blo × 72 picked up evenly [72]
• Rounds 8–15: (FPdc, BPdc) × 36 [72]

3. Rim

Add a soft, folded cuff in sage green to finish the edge and give the basket a polished look.

• Round 16: sc × 72 picked up evenly [72]
• Round 17: sc in each stitch around [72]

1. Fold the rim down to the inside of the basket and whip stitch it in place around the entire circumference.

4. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Weave in all loose ends securely on the inside of the basket.
2. Sew the WithMe signature heart to the front center of the dusty rose body, just below the folded sage green rim.
3. Block the basket lightly if needed to ensure the base lies perfectly flat.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• If the base begins to ruffle, your tension may be too loose; try tightening your stitches or going down a hook size.
• When working front and back post stitches, ensure you are working into the correct posts to maintain the ribbed pattern.
