Hot Chocolate Basket Free Crochet Pattern

This coffee bar hot chocolate basket is perfect hold your Hot Chocolate Packets or any instant breakfast packets. It will also hold your popcorn packets. The sweet heart stitch makes this a perfect Valentine’s Day gift. The free pattern is here, in this post. Purchase the ad free pdf at RAVELRY or ETSY.

There is a video tutorial on how to add a hard fabric covered liner to this basket.

Sizing is everything, and this hot chocolate basket is the perfect size for your coffee bar.

I love how it will hold more than hot chocolate packets. Apple cider packets fit in there, oatmeal packets, popcorn, and other food packets that require hot water. Add a plaid flannel liner for a farmhouse look. If your kitchen has a theme you can use fabric to match it.

A gray basket with a heart stitch circling the upper edge is sitting on a table. The basket has a black and gray plaid flannel liner. The basket is holding hot chocolate, apple cider and oatmeal packets.

I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, so that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.

Adding a liner to the coffee bar hot chocolate basket is easy.

You need a little bit of hot glue, fabric of your choice, and a poster board. Well of course you will need scissors. The fun thing is that the liner is removable. Wash the basket or make a new liner. This idea is a winner.

The gray hot chocolate basket is sitting on the table, with the hard fabric covered liner removed. It is obvious that a piece of white poster board was used to make the liner as it is sitting beside the hot chocolate basket. The liner is covered in plaid gray flannel. The liner is still holding the Apple Cider, hot chocolate and oatmeal packets.

A lovely tea bag basket is available for you to crochet. 

There is also a mug rug, a K-cup basket, and a sweetheart cube cover. All of these items make up the “Proverbs Series” of crochet patterns. They are included in a BUNDLE along with the “From The Heart Series” of crochet patterns. Valentine’s crochet patterns are appreciated year round.  

Pair the hot chocolate basket with other items from the Proverbs Series, and you will have a gift set for a friend or loved one. I think the Sweetheart Mug Rug & the hot chocolate basket would be a great pair.

The Hot Chocolate Basket coordinates with the Proverbs Series Storage Items. 

The Proverbs Series of Crochet Patterns is a part of the Valentine’s 2022 crochet pattern bundle. The whole bundle also includes Valentine patterns that are From The Heart.

Hot Chocolate Basket Crochet Pattern

Beginning: Using MC, ch 15

Row 1:

sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across; ch 1 & Turn (14 st’s)

Row 2 – 37:

sc in 1st st and in each ch across; ch 1 & Turn; (14 st’s)

The rest of the pattern will be written in rounds, and the round numbers will start over.

Round 1: 

(It is very helpful to watch this video, starting at the 3:15 mark) Turn slightly, and begin to sc around the edge of the base. starting with 3 sc st’s at the corner, placing it on the side of the sc that was just made.

Place a sc in the side of each row & Place 3 sc st’s at each corner, placing them at the edge or the side of the stitch.

Join w/slp st to first st made then ch1.

Stitch count is not important at this point, as we will take care of the stitch count by doing a little bit of math. Don’t worry, it’s easy.

Round 2: 

bp hdc in 1st st, and in each st around, join w/slp st to beg. st, ch1 (106 sc)

Now it is time to do some Math. Count your stitches.

Please watch this video & fast forward to the 13.00 mark, and it will help you understand the reason for the math equation down below.

My stitch count was106. The heart stitch requires a multiple of 6 stitches exactly. I will work the math equation using my numbers, but you will find a fill in the blank equation for the stitch count you have. The equation is below. There is no wrong number count. If you have a stitch count that is divisible by 6, then decrease 6 stitches in Round’s 3 & 5.

Divide your stitch count by 6. 

106 ÷ 6 = 17.6   Next multiply 6 x 13

6 x 17 = 102   Next subtract 102 from 106

106 – 102 = 4     There are 4 stitches left over. So a  decrease of 4 stitches is needed..

I will randomly, but evenly place markers around the basket, with a concentration of placing them on the sides of the basket. The sides of the basket will be soft and could collapse out. We need the sides of the basket to start pushing into the center. 

Blank Equation For You To Fill In Your Numbers:

  1. Your stitch count ÷ 6 = (whole number) dot. blah blah: 

                          a. Next multiply 6 x by the whole number only
  2. 6 x whole number = a  

                            b. Next subtract a from Your stitch count
  3. Your stitch count – a = b

                            c. The answer for step 3, is the amount of times you need to decrease, to get your stitch count, to a multiple of 6.




Round 3: You are looking at the outside of the basket  IMPORTANT: Switch to G-6/4.00 mm crochet hook

hdc in 1st st, and in each st around, make sure to execute a hdc dec at each marker, join w/slp st to beg. hdc; ch 1

 Round 4:

hdc in 1st st, and in each st across; join w/slp st to beg. hdc; ch 1

Round 5:
Execute 6 decreases around the perimeter of the basket, 2 on each side, and 1 on each end. Do not decrease directly over the top of a decrease, in the previous round.

hdc in 1st st, and in each st across, until you reach a marker, and then execute a hdc dec. join w/slp st to beg. hdc; ch 1

Round 6:

hdc in 1st st, and in each st across; join w/slp st to beg. hdc; ch 1

Round 7:

hdc in 1st st, and in each st across; drop MC and pull up CC at the join w/slp st to beg. hdc; ch 2 & Turn

Round 8 : 

execute a beg. heart st in the first st, which was the last st of Round 4; *ch2, skp 5 st’s, heart st;* repeat between *  * around; ch2, skp last 5 st’s, drop and end off CC, bring the CC tails to the inside of the basket, pull up MC at the join, but first make sure the MC is at the front of the basket; join w/slp st to beg. ch1 & turn

Round 9:
