Lemon Farmhouse Basket Crochet Pattern

This Lemon Farmhouse Basket is so quick to crochet. Add a stiff cardboard liner and the sides will stay tall and strait. You can use it to hold dinner rolls, and it coordinates perfectly with the other Lemon Farmhouse items. This basket uses unique stitches that give it that little pop. 

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.

A Lemon Farmhouse Basket for you to crochet for your table. Then follow the video and I will show you how to add the stiff, ruffled fabric liner.

The Lemon Farmhouse Basket goes perfectly with the other items in the Lemon Farmhouse Kitchen and Table Decor Crochet patterns.

I created a Lemon Towel Topper It was a first for me. I really enjoyed designing it, and I am sure there will be more variations to come. The Lovely Lemons are the perfect embellishment to the towel topper, and I think they would look so cute as a garland. Of course there are placemats, mug rugs and coasters.

Stitch Guide:

MC = Main Color = White

CC1 = Contrasting Color = Yellow

ch = Chain

sc = Single Crochet

bp sc = Back Post Single Crochet

h bp sc = High Back Post Single Crochet – wrap the hook high around the post, above the third loop to execute a back post sc

* * = Complete sequence between the stars, the number of times stated;

x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;

in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch to complete stitch or sequence of stitches stated

yo = Yarn Over

Special Stitch Guide:

crab stitch = reverse single crochet, executing a sc backwards.

mb = Mini Bean Stitch = insert hook into the stitch indicated, draw up a loop, yo, insert hook into the same st, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru all 4 loops on hook, ch 1 to close the stitch.

The mb stitch is a unique cluster stitch. When the pattern is worked in rows each row of stitches has a right and left tilt.  It is easy to use the ch 1 space to execute the cluster, but it will not give you the right, left tilt. The Pic below is showing where to insert your hook, for the next row of clusters. Pic 1: Notice the arrows are pointing to the “V” where you insert your hook to execute the cluster stitch. You are executing the cluster directly into the cluster st. Pic. 2 shows the cluster stitch that was made, and it will tilt, when you execute the next Cluster stitch.

Round 9:

slp st in each st around, in a loose fashion, execute a join by slip stitching under the first slp st made, end off . Yarn tails should be at the front, to finish this round thread the yarn tail into a yarn needle, and put the needle in between the “V” of the two loops, and draw the yarn to the inside of the basket. This sequence of stitches should not be tight as it will pull the basket out of shape. (55 st’s)

    Love the basket and how to make liner. I am wondering if I could use tacky glue instead of glue gun?

    I love this basket. I think it’s my favorite of the lemon themed patterns. But, only because I just love baskets.

    This is really cute. I’m thinking of my sister who lives in Florida, surrounded by orange orchards. Another sister had a lemon tree in her yard – those lemons were sweet! Yet another sister had a huge avocado tree (hope that inspires you to create an avocado dishcloth Krissy 🙂

      Thank you so much! I love those lemony looking “bean stitches” too. Funny that they look like lemons, and it’s called the mini bean stitch.
