Hi everyone! I’m so excited to share my pattern contribution for the Hygge Home CAL! If you are not familiar with the Hygge Home CAL, you can find more information about it here from Marie at Underground Crafter! So what is hygge? The word hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”) has been popping up a lot lately! It is a Danish word that is roughly translated to feeling cozy and content by enjoying the simple things in life. Our Hygge Home projects are made with the comfy and cozy Hygge yarn from Red Heart. My contribution are these adorable baskets made with an ombre effect, in two different sizes. I hope you enjoy the pattern for my Hygge Ombre Baskets! Just scroll down below for the instructions 🙂 Happy Crocheting!

This post contains affiliate links. I do receive a commission if you make a purchase through my link(s), which helps support my blog and allows me to bring you more great posts! I also received complimentary yarn from Red Heart Yarns to be used in my design. I was not financially compensated to use this products in my post. 

 

About the Yarn:

Red Heart was gracious enough to send me some of their Hygge yarn to use in my design and the moment I touched it, I fell in love. This yarn is so gorgeous! It is soft and cozy and perfect for projects around the home. This yarn is a category 5 bulky yarn, which is 70% acrylic and 30% nylon. It comes in 20 beautiful colors and each skein is 5 ounces/132 yards.

Skill Level:

Easy

Abbreviations:

BL – back loop
ch – chain
hdc – half double crochet
sc – single crochet
sk – skip
sp(s) – space(s)
st(s) – stitch(es)
() – indicates stitch counts
* – indicates instructions to be repeated

Gauge:

9.5 stitches & 8 rows = 4″ (in hdc)

Finished Size:

Small Basket: 4″ Diameter
Bigger Basket: 7″ Diameter

Notes:

• This pattern is written in US terms.
• Sizing will vary depending on how tightly or loosely you crochet. Gauge is not necessary for this pattern but if you would like to keep the sizing the same, please check your gauge before starting this project.
• These baskets are worked in a continuous round. This is where the stitch markers come in handy. There is no joining unless otherwise noted.
• Color changes are made in the last yarn over in the last stitch of the round.
• The macrame cord is used for a more sturdy basket. If you do not need your basket to stand tall and be sturdy, you can feel free to omit the macrame cord. I made my smaller basket with cord to hold my hooks and the larger basket I made without cord so I could fit my yarn skeins inside.
