Cord baskets are easy and quick to make, especially if you choose a cord that is wide in diameter. For the basket shown, you will need about 37 meters of a 5-6 mm cord and a 7 mm hook (hook size is optional).
For storage baskets, I recommend using a cord for macramé, which is soft and pliable. If you do not know a local supplier, do a search on Etsy and you will surely find many options.

The pattern for the hexagon cord basket is written with both beginners and intermediate crochets in mind. The instructions are written in full sentences and abbreviations, and presented as instructions #1 and instructions #2. Pictures are added to illustrate the process of crocheting.

Cord basket can be used for multiple purposes, including toy and cosmetics storage. Such baskets can function as gift bags too. Fill them up with candy or any other carefully thought items, and here you have a gift for a special person.
