Today, I am continuing the crochet “Christmas gift baskets and decorations” series. This is a 2-in-1 crochet pattern, which means you can quickly make two different crochet baskets using the same base pattern. Learn how to crochet this UNIQUE green Christmas character in a Santa outfit gift basket and decoration, with an ad-free pattern and tutorial.

Crochet it as a chocolate, treat, and plushie gift basket, or as a CUTE desk buddy to welcome guests and serve them complimentary candies.

Choose from a Santa cosplay elf and the no-costume option; both are equally likeable. I would, however, recommend the Santa version more, as you can couple it with the previously learned crochet Santa basket and even the elf basket. Now, continue reading to learn more about this crochet gift basket project!

Tutorial to Crochet A Grinch Basket

This tutorial shows how to make a crochet Grinch basket. First, you crochet the basket with two strands of white and red yarn using a 4.0 mm hook. Next, you crochet the head, arms, and legs with one strand of green yarn using a 2.75 mm hook. You stuff the head, arms, and legs. Then, you crochet the hat, collar, button, and scarf with red and white yarn.

Finally, you cut felt for the eyes, add 7mm eyes, embroider the nose and mouth, make a pom-pom, and assemble all the parts to the basket.

Difficulty Level

Intermediate. This is the difficulty because the project requires creating many individual pieces, using two different hook sizes, crocheting with multiple yarn strands, changing yarn colors frequently, and performing complex assembly that includes facial embroidery and attaching felt.
