Chunky Chevron Basket

**Chunky Chevron Basket **

This chunky crochet basket has a such a unique texture, thanks to the “diagonal chevron” stitch pattern.

The basket is crocheted with super bulky (#6 yarn) so it works up very quickly. I used some stash yarn for my basket, but I have listed some suitable alternatives below.

YarnAny #6/super bulky weight yarn (approx. 250yds) will work great for this pattern. Some suggestions:

* Paintbox Yarns Simply Super Chunky (100% acrylic)

* Paintbox Yarns Recycled T-Shirt Yarn

* Stylecraft Special XL Super Chunky (100% acrylic)

* Bernat Maker Big (50% Cotton 50% Nylon)

HookFor my basket, I used a 7mm (L) crochet hook. It is not absolutely essential to match gauge for this pattern (as it would be for a garment for example). But you will want to choose a hook size that gives you nice tight stitches, just to make your basket good and sturdy.
