Nordic Nest Basket - Crochet Pattern

Nordic Nest is a crocheted decorative basket with a wooden base, designed for those who appreciate both functionality and style. It’s perfect for storing small items or adding a decorative touch to your home, bringing warmth and harmony to any space. Its simple design makes it a versatile piece, ideal for interiors inspired by minimalism or Scandinavian aesthetics.

Yarn

For this project, I used polyester elastic cord 5mm. This material is lightweight but strong enough to hold the shape of the item. Its smooth texture makes the crocheting process enjoyable and quick, and its water-resistant properties add practicality to the item. It’s truly an excellent material for this project!

Crochet Stitches

The crochet stitches for this basket are basic and ideal for beginners. You'll need to know how to make a chain, single crochet, and slip stitch. The video tutorial will also cover a few additional crochet stitches you might find useful.
