Make this sturdy hook holder in one evening with half of a ball of a super bulky yarn (55 yds or so), and a recycled plastic ring. Using a ring for the rim of the bucket base makes it even more stable than it already is.

Big Hook Bucket’s honeycomb top has seven compartments for sorting your jumbo-sized crochet hooks and other project tools. I like to use the center hole for large scissors.

It’s designed to go with the five largest crochet hooks I have at my website: Q, R, S, T, U (15.75 mm up to 25 mm). Get this pattern free as part of a kit: a set of all five jumbo hooks, this pattern, plus the plastic ring while supplies last.

Skill Level: Easy
Most of this bucket is made of tight single crochet stitches {UK: dc}. Front post trebles {UK: dtr} stabilize the sides.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn these skills:

  • How to crochet around a plastic ring reinforcement for the base.
  • How to add post stitches for sculptural structure.
  • How to create a quick seven-slotted honeycomb-like top.

Other Materials Needed
A ring with an outer diameter of 5.5” (14 cm). I used a plastic lid with its center removed. I provide one as part of the kit (while my supplies last).
Yarn needle for weaving in ends.
