The Purrfect Cat Crochet Basket is a sweet and practical project that adds a dose of feline flair to your home organization. Designed as part of a Crochet-A-Long (CAL), this FREE pattern features a sturdy basket worked in the round using the waistcoat stitch, which gives it a knitted-like texture that’s both neat and durable. What really sets this cat basket apart are the playful details — the handles are shaped like cute cat ears, and the basket’s face is completed with stitched-on whiskers and a nose, making it as decorative as it is functional.
Worked with super chunky yarn and a large crochet hook, the basket comes together quickly, so it’s perfect for makers who want a satisfying finish in a relatively short time. The finished piece measures about 7.5 inches wide and 6 inches tall (not counting the handles), giving you a sweet size for storing yarn, holding a work-in-progress, or tidying up small items on a shelf or desk. While the original CAL has ended, the free pattern remains available on the With Alex blog.
Beginners and more experienced crocheters will enjoy working with the waistcoat stitch — it’s a variation on single crochet that creates a dense weave and nice texture, and With Alex even links to video tutorials if you need extra guidance. You can also customize your crochet basket with a cute bow or your favorite color combinations, making it ideal for seasonal gifts like a Halloween treat basket or a cute cat-themed storage piece.
