I’m always looking for a place to keep all of my small essentials. That’s why I designed this free bowl crochet pattern to add some extra organization to my desk! This bowl crochet pattern includes two different sizes that are perfect for organizing things like your stitch markers and hooks, desk essentials, make-up, and so much more!

Two small storage containers in a blue/pink/purple variegated yarn, the larger bowl is filled with pens, lotion, and nail files, and the smaller bowl is filled with lip balm. A coffee cup sits in the background.

I would classify this free bowl crochet pattern as a “beginner” level pattern. Minimal crochet experience is necessary. For more detailed instructions on the stitches used here, take a look at my crochet stitch tutorials.

Crochet Storage Tips & Tricks

  • Make it Strong: It’s important to keep a firm structure to your crochet storage bowl, so be sure that your hook size creates a tight enough fabric to allow the sides to stand upright.
  • Don’t Lose Count: Keep track of your rounds while making this free bowl crochet pattern by using a stitch marker in the first stitch of every round.
  • Experiment with Fiber: Try using two different yarns held together to create fun textures and colors in your finished crochet storage basket.

  1. Loving this pattern! There is a small typo on the large size for round 4. It says 2sc in the next, 1 sc in the next. It should be 2 and 2 to end up with 32 stitches total.
