It’s me, Emily with Crochet Aweigh.
Happy New Year! It is a dreary, rainy January day in the usually sunny Central Florida so I’m stuck inside. Now I don’t know about you, but when I’m stuck inside with nowhere to go I get to thinking. I start thinking about all the house projects that I want to do and the endless list of chores. However with it being the start of a fresh, new year I am usually thinking about all the de-cluttering and organizing that I should do. Will I do it? Probably not. There’s too much good yarn around here to distract me. But I THINK about organizing a lot. If you’re like me you might be thinking about doing some New Year’s cleaning and organizing too, but you’re probably more committed to actually doing it than I am. Here are 20 free crochet patterns to organize your home and get you in the organizational mood!

1: Crocheted Magazine Rack
This cute magazine rack can hold all your crochet magazines! It can also be used as a file folder if magazines aren’t your thing. This works up fast as it uses single crochets, T shirt yarn, like Lion Brand Cover Story Lazy Days Thick N Quick, and an L/8mm crochet hook! Clover hooks has an excellent 8mm!
2: Homebody Nesting Baskets
These textured nesting baskets from MJ’s Off The Hook are perfect for hiding doodads, or even to hold your other crochet projects! This design features the Alpine stitch for a nice, study basket. The designer chose Bernat Softee Chunky, a super bulky #6 yarn, for her baskets so you know these will stitch up quick! You will also need a 9mm crochet hook.
3: Leaf Sprout Cable Organizer
Now here is a fun one! The Leaf Sprout Cable Organizer by Once Upon a Cheerio makes great gifts for all your coworkers, or those people you don’t know what to get for. It also doubles as a bookmark! This pattern uses a worsted #4 weight yarn like Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, or Red Heart Super Saver. The designer used a G6/4.00mm crochet hook, but this pattern is flexible.
4: One and Done Hanging Basket
These baskets are a free crochet pattern from Yarnspirations. You can really use any yarn you want for these and they would come out varying sizes. Yarnspirations recommends Bernat Blanket Yarn for some chunky-style baskets. The pattern is considered easy level, and you will need a size N15/9mm crochet hook.
5: Organizer Basket with Removable Dividers
This useful basket is designed by Nicki’s Handmade Crafts and is convertible depending on your needs! The middle dividers are removable so you can have either one large basket, or multiple smaller spaces. The designer recommends a worsted #4 weight cotton yarn like Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, Circulo Natural Max Color, or Lily Sugar N Cream. You will also need a 4.5mm crochet hook, and a 50/50 mixture of craft glue and water to stiffen the dividers.
6: Hanging Remote Holder
This Hanging Remote holder by Jo to the World is so clever! Hang it on your end table like shown in the photo above, or hang it over the arm of your sofa for immediate access during your favorite shows. It would also be handy on your nightstand by your bed. Any yarn in a worsted #4 weight in 2 colors will do, but the designer says the less stretchy the better! Red Heart Super Saver or Caron One Pound would work perfectly. You will also need a size H8/5.00mm Crochet hook.
7: Felted Door Knob Organizer
This handy dandy door knob organizer is a free pattern from Yarnspirations. This is a great introduction to the felting technique if you’ve never tried it. An important part of felting is using the right yarn. You need to find a 100% non-superwash wool. The designer recommends Patons Classic Wool Worsted. Felting is a process that transforms wool into a denser fabric using heat, water, and agitation. This pattern includes instructions on how to properly felt this item.
8: Herringbone Single Crochet Basket
Now I love a good basket, but one that also doubles as a planter? Yes, please! These Herringbone single crochet baskets are designed by BrianaK. I love the knit-like texture of this stitch. You will need a bulky #6 weight yarn like Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick N Quick, or Lion Brand Cover Story Lazy Days Thick N Quick. Instructions are included for sizes small, medium, and large.
9: Granny Square Hook Case
This Crochet Hook Case is so cute, and so functional with all the extra accessories that it fits! In addition to all your hooks it fits a pen, notepad, stitch markers and more! This would make a great scrap yarn project, but if you don’t want to use scraps you can use a light worsted #4 or a DK #3 yarn like Lion Brand 24/7 DK and an E/3.5mm crochet hook.
10: Cactus Pincushion
These Cactus pincushions by Whistle & Ivy are so appropriate! I love how she added the mini jars underneath to store even more pins. To make these prickly beauties you need a G6/4.00mm crochet hook, fiberfill, and worsted #4 weight yarn in 2 colors. Red Heart with Love or Red Hear Super Saver would work great for this project.
11: Heart Basket with Flower Divider
This 5″ x 10″ basket by Nicki’s Homemade Crafts is so pretty I had to show it to you at every angle! Put all your craft supplies in it, use it for jewelry, a desk organizer, the possibilities are endless! The designer chose Lion Brand Hue & Me yarn, which is a chunky #5 weight acrylic/wool blend.
12: Boho Bag Saver
Just about everyone needs a bag for all their grocery bags! This Boho bag saver by Hook Vibes is just the thing! The designer recommends a cotton blend in a DK #3 weight like Lion Brand Coboo, or Berroco Modern Cotton DK. She says you will also need 1 hair elastic, and a size H8/5.00mm crochet hook.
13: Door Catch All
This Door Catch All is another ingenious pattern from Yarnspirations is perfect for a bedroom, bathroom, or craft room door. It is there for whatever you need whenever you need. The designer used Lily Sugar and Cream in White and Ecru. Personally I’m more of a Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton person myself, but either yarns would work very well.
14: Framed Earring Holder
What a creative use for an old frame! Then you can get your earrings on display where you can easily see them to match them to your outfit. Anytime my earrings are in a dish or a jewelry box, its hard for me to find them or see all of them at once. This framed earring holder is designed by Mom in a Stitch. She chose to use DK #3 weight Lion Brand Coboo and a size 3mm crochet hook for hers, but I imagine you can use any yarn that is DK weight or thinner.
15: Baseball Hat Organizer
Okay, how fun is this!? I’m definitely making one of these baseball hat organizers by Happy Heartsy for my closet! My baseball hats are sitting on my closet shelf, taking up previous shelf real estate! The designer used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, a worsted #4 weight 100% cotton yarn. This is an awesome choice and it comes in a lot of different colors! You will also need a 12″ wooden dowel and an H8/5.00mm crochet hook.
16: Chunky Hanging Basket
This Chunky Hanging Basket by Simply Maggie is a boho girl’s dream! You will need chunky #5 yarn like Cherub Chunky from Cascade Yarns or Lion Brand Hue & Me to make this cute multi-functional project. It calls for an 11.5mm crochet hook, which is a little tricky to find, but you could certainly go with an 11mm or 12mm and the basket will come out fine!
17: Rectangle Tray with Divider
This rectangle tray with a divider is designed by Rajis Craft Hobby and is 9″ x 5″. The designer says you can use absolutely any yarn of your choice, but they prefer T shirt yarn like Lion Brand Cover Story Lazy Days Thick N Quick. Lion Brand Hue & Me would also be perfect. A J10/6mm crochet hook is what you will need for this basket.
18: DIY Upcycled Laundry Sorter
This one is a little different! This Upcycled Laundry Sorter by ekayg has crocheted bags to keep your lights and darks separate. You will need an old laundry sorter, spray paint in your preference of color, and worsted #4 weight yarn. The designer used 2 skeins of Caron One Pound and an I9/5.5mm crochet hook. I love when everything matches so I love that I could make a laundry sorter that matches my laundry room perfectly!
19: Hide Away Sofa Caddy
This sofa caddy is another free pattern from Yarnspirations! This is considered easy level, so beginners can give this one a go! The pattern calls for Bernat Blanket Yarn, a #6 bulky weight yarn. Ella Rae Cuddle Yarn would also be an excellent choice. Be sure to grab your J10/6.00mm crochet hook too!
20: Fisherman’s Hammock Basket
This hanging basket is a free pattern from Hobbii and it looks like a little hammock! To make this you will need 2 colors of a 100% cotton in a DK #3 weight like Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK, or Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8. The hook size needed is an E/3.5mm.
