Here’s a quick and easy project that only takes ONE ball of Bernat Blanket Yarn! It’s a crochet hanging sack basket perfect for storing stuffed animals or using as a baby photo prop!
Materials:
– Bernat Blanket Yarn. One 300g ball. I used Pale Gray. Shop the yarn HERE at Yarnspirations.com
– Size N Crochet Hook. I’m using my new Furls Blue Odyssey Hook! Shop this hook HERE.
– Tapestry Needle
Hanging Sack/Basket Pattern
Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 15 DC in ring, pull tight and join to first DC, chain 2 (15 DC)
Round 2: 2 DC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (30 DC)
Round 3: 2 DC in first stitch, DC in next, repeat around, join, chain 2 (45 DC)
Round 4: 2 DC in first stitch, DC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 2 (60 DC)
Round 5: 2 DC in first stitch, DC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 2 (75 DC)
Round 6-9: DC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (75 DC)
Note: feel free to add another round or two to make the basket even deeper!
Round 10: DC in first 20, [DC Decrease, DC in next 3] do this 7 times, DC in last 20, join, chain 2 (68 DC)
Round 11: DC in first 14, [DC Decrease, DC in next 3] do this 8 times, DC in last 14, join, chain 2 (60 DC)
Round 12: DC in first 10, [SC Decrease, SC in next 3] do this 8 times, DC in last 10, join, chain 2 (52 stitches)
Round 13: DC in first 10, SC Decrease, SC in next 28, SC Decrease, DC in last 10, join, fasten off
Now lets make the handle.
Join yarn 5 stitches to the right of the seam, DC in next 9, slip stitch to join, chain 8, turn, skip all 9 stitches and join with a single crochet and then slip stitch (for a little extra strength), turn, make 8 SC over the chain 8, join with slip stitch, fasten off and weave in ends.
PLEASE NOTE that when putting a baby in the sack they need to be held and supported and not left unattended! They can’t just freely hang in it. I photoshopped mamas arm out of the bottom of the sack… this just shows what a professional photographer can do!

If that’s not a real puppy in the bag, it’s certainly an impressive toy . Cute bag!
Very cute bag and I have the yarn for it! Unfortunately, I’m totally confused by your beginning instructions… Magic Ring, chain two, then make 15 dc in magic ring. I’m confused by the chain two part. Usually I make a ring, do all the dc into the ring (two wraps of yarn around my fingers) and then proceed. What do I do with the chain two?? Thanks!
Hi. Usually the chain two would count as the first dc, making a total of 16 dc in the magic ring. It brings the yarn up to the same height as the dc for the new row. I hope this makes sense to you…
So should there be 16 DC in the ring to start?
Thanks for the pattern! I am going to try this. 🙂
I need something to help corral all my little girl’s millions of stuffies. They have taken over her bed completely! I am making this ASAP! Thank you for the pattern!!!
The bag you hook is so cute and fun, it can hold a lot of things.
The last pic was so cute.
Do you have a YouTube tutorial for this? I don’t know how to read patterns. If so that would be so awesome! Thank you
Hi. I want to make my boys one of these each for their abundance of sift toys. Im just wondering how big they end up being?
I really thought they were going to hang the baby up in the sack alone without support or supervision. I wanted to make it to find out how strong it was.
I made my son a blanket with this yarn the Christmas before last. Now I finally have something to make with all the leftovers! Thank you.
Hey! Loved your easy to follow pattern for the hanging basket. The only problem is I don’t understand the handle part. Could u make a video for just that part?
Do you have a video on how to make hanging blankets?
I’m confused about line 10, I did the first part but the parentheses part I’m not sure how to do.
When it says.. now let’s make the handle..
Yarn ? 5 stitches to the right? Not sure what just yarn is.
Thank you for this free pattern! It was quick and easy to make. It is really cute but a little floppy. Any suggestions for how to make it more stiff or sturdy?
Hi! I just finished making this adorable basket for my daughter’s little cat to sleep in. It was so easy to make, thank you. I really enjoyed making it.
I wanted to post a picture, but couldn’t figure out how to attach the picture.
