Sage & Blush Ribbed Storage Bin

Welcome to a world of cozy, handmade comfort. This storage bin is designed to bring a touch of warmth and organization to your space, blending practical home decor with the soft, inviting textures we love.

Crafted in our signature WithMe palette of warm cream, sage green, and dusty rose, this bin features a beautifully ribbed texture and clever cut-out handles. It is the perfect size for holding blankets, toys, or yarn.

Whether you are making this for yourself or gifting it to a loved one, every stitch is a reminder that the best things are made with love. Grab your hook and let us create something beautiful together.

• Sage green worsted cotton, 200 g
• Dusty rose worsted cotton, 50 g
• 5.0 mm (US H/8) crochet hook
• Tapestry needle

Gauge

Gauge is not critical, but fabric should be dense and sturdy to hold its shape.

Abbreviations

• sc — single crochet
• inc — 2 sc in the same stitch
• sc blo — single crochet in the back loop only
• ch — chain
• sk — skip the next stitch
• sl st — slip stitch

Pattern notes

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch in each round.
• Work the back loop only (blo) to create the ribbed texture on the sides.
• Change colours at the end of the last stitch in a round to keep edges clean.

1. Base

We begin with a warm cream foundation, working in the round to create a sturdy, flat bottom for the bin.

• Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring [6]
• Round 2: inc × 6 [12]
• Round 3: (inc, sc) × 6 [18]
• Round 4: (inc, 2 sc) × 6 [24]
• Round 5: (inc, 3 sc) × 6 [30]
• Round 6: (inc, 4 sc) × 6 [36]
• Round 7: (inc, 5 sc) × 6 [42]
• Round 8: (inc, 6 sc) × 6 [48]

1. Fasten off warm cream. Join sage green in the first stitch.

2. Sides & Handles

Now we build the walls of the bin using a ribbed stitch, adding simple cut-out handles for easy carrying.

• Round 1: sc blo × 48 picked up evenly [48]
• Rounds 2–8: sc blo in each stitch around [48]
• Round 9: 18 sc blo, 6 ch, 6 sk, 18 sc blo, 6 ch, 6 sk [48]
• Round 10: 18 sc blo, 6 sc, 18 sc blo, 6 sc [48]

1. Fasten off sage green. Join dusty rose in the first stitch.

3. Top Edge

We finish the bin with a simple, clean border in dusty rose to frame the top edge beautifully.

• Round 1: sc × 48 picked up evenly [48]
• Round 2: sl st in each stitch around [48]

1. Fasten off dusty rose, leaving a long tail for weaving in.

4. WithMe signature heart

The same little heart sits on every WithMe original — our way of signing it with love. Use any contrast colour from the project.

• Round 1: 3 tr, 3 dc, ch, tr, ch, 3 dc, 3 tr in a magic ring [15] — Ch 3 first (it doesn't count as a stitch). After the last stitch, ch 3 and sl st into the ring, then pull the ring tight — the dip at the top of the heart forms as you pull.

1. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing the heart in place.

Finishing

1. Weave in all loose ends securely using a tapestry needle.
2. Sew the standard WithMe signature heart onto the front right side, just below the dusty rose rim.
3. Block the basket lightly if needed to help it hold its perfect cylindrical shape.

Tips from the WithMe studio

• If your basket begins to bowl or curl at the base, your tension might be too tight; try using a half-size larger hook for the base only.
• When working the handle chains, keep your tension relaxed so the handles do not pucker the sides.
• Cotton yarn is ideal for this project as it provides the structure needed for a storage bin.
