Materials

MDF basket base (10cm diameter, or as desired)
T-shirt yarn (e.g., Tapessul brand, but any will do)
Crochet hooks: 5mm and 7mm sizes
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Stitch marker or contrasting thread

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Foundation Row—Attaching Yarn to MDF

Take your 5mm crochet hook.
Insert the hook into a hole in the MDF base.
Draw yarn through to make a small loop (chain).
Repeat for each hole, making a loose chain all around.
Avoid tight stitches; keep loops relaxed for even tension.

2. First Round—Single Crochet (Low Stitch)

Using the same hook, make a single crochet in each MDF hole.
Count your stitches to match the number of holes (e.g., 25).
Crochet over your starting thread to hide it.

3. Closing the First Round

Join the last single crochet to the first.
Use your tapestry needle: pick up both the first loop's straps, pull the thread through, then cut and hide the end using the tapestry needle.
Make sure the thread is hidden inside the stitches for a neat finish.

4. Building the Sides

Switch to your 7mm hook.
Work with the rings at the back of the stitches (not the two front straps).
Make a single crochet in each back loop around.
Hide the new starting thread as you crochet.

5. Continue Rounds to Desired Height

Keep working single crochets into the center of each stitch, always picking up the back loops.
Complete about six rounds (or as high as desired).
The basket’s sides will start to rise and shape.

6. Finishing Edge—Slip Stitch (Extremely Low Point)

Once you reach your desired height, make a round of slip stitches:
- Insert hook into both top loops of each stitch.
- Pull yarn through and directly through the loop on the hook (no yarn over needed).
Mark your first slip stitch for reference.

7. Final Closure

Close the last round with your tapestry needle, as before:
- Pull the thread through the first stitch, cut off excess.
- Weave the end inside the stitches for a seamless look.

8. Hide All Ends

Use tapestry needle to thread ends through several stitches underneath, ensuring they are well hidden and secure.

Conclusion

You now have a beautiful, sturdy basket with an MDF base. This technique is perfect for creating organizing baskets in various sizes and colors, and makes for thoughtful, handmade gifts. Experiment with different yarns and bases for unique results.
