It’s spa time! Welcome back to the 2021 Fiber Flux Summer Crochet Along…yippee! We are working an amazing series of projects this time…the Summer Spa Getaway CAL! Each week we’ll make a different spa item (everything is listed below on the schedule) and at the end, you’ll have a beautiful collection of spa themed crochet items that you can use for self-care or lovely gifts too! This series is easy and fun…meant to be a relaxing, easy going summer project, all part of our spa theme!
Today we’re working on our very last project, can you believe it? The spa basket is a perfect item to store everything you’ve made! Giving some items as a gift? This makes a perfect little gift basket too.

- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Tape measure
Finished Sizing:
- 3 1/4 inches tall
- Circular base is 5.5 inches wide
Instructions:
Note: for the striping sequence shown, I did the base and first round of the sides in aqua. Then to build up the sides, I worked each of the colors three rounds each.
Ch 4, join in the furthest ch from the hook to make a ring.
Round 1: Ch 2, then work 11 hdc into the center of the ring. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 2: Ch 2, then work a hdc into the first stitch. Work 2 hdc into each st around. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 3: Ch 2, then work a hdc into the first st. *Work 2 hdc into the next st, then a hdc into the next st. Repeat from * around. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 4: Ch 2, then work a hdc into the first st. *Work a hdc into the next st, a hdc into the next st, then two hdc into the next st. Repeat from * around. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 5: Ch 2, then work a hdc into the first st. *Work a hdc into each of the next 3 sts, then two hdc into the next st. Repeat from * around. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 6: Ch 2, then work a hdc into the first st. *Work a hdc into each of the next 4 sts, then two hdc into the next st. Repeat from * around. Join to close round with a sl st.
Round 7: Ch 2, then work a hdc into the first st and each st around. Join to close round with a sl st.
Repeat round 7 until the basket is as tall as you would like it to be. I made mine about 3 1/4 inches tall.
