I’m working on my second basket (my mom saw mine and started asking for one) and I love it! This video is super easy to follow, written pattern is also easy to follow, I look forward to making these baskets for gifts! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
I was able to follow along and complete a basket of my own. This is one of the best crochet tutorials I've watched so far. Project was a success. I used the Lions Brand yarn. It was my first time working with a crochet hook this small and counting stitches was pretty easy. Thanks again for sharing!
You are so welcome!
I watched this morning and bought yarn to make two baskets this afternoon... can't wait to see how they turn out. Wonderful vidoe.
Which type of yarn u have bought ??
I need idea.. The one i have bought is so thinnnn
@@id_tanmaipanchal4943 just use two or three stands, double it up. I've made just one basket but used left over skeins, three stands, with a larger ook.
Beautiful basket!!! 💕 And easy to follow instructions! Thank you so much……… I will be making one of these today!!💕💕
You are so welcome!
Thanks for doing a great job with the instructions...new to crocheting only been doing it about 5 months. Loved how my basket turned out 👍🏽🤩🤩
You are so welcome!
Just made my first basket from your UA-cam channel! You are a great teacher! I follow your step by step and had no problems! My husband love it!!
So glad you made one.
Oh my God I think family I get that I think this is the only video has explain how to do this. I’m 53 years old. I’m finally getting this.
yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful.
Great video! Very informative. I’m very new to crochet (less than a month) and I followed every step of the process.
Wonderful!
Did you finish? How did it turn out?
I had to refer to the written pattern a few times to clear up some confusion about stitch counts. It’s also very important to know how to easily count stitches especially if using darker yarn than in the video. But a great basket and a pretty decent tutorial.
Extremely informative video! So happy to see someone using stitch marker's! I've only been crocheting 7 months and learned by watching UA-cam. I had to guess where 2 put the marker's. Trial and errors and several attempts. Wish I had seen ur video sooner. Thank u sincerely for sharing ☺️🧶🧶
So glad you found it helpful. Stitch markers are total life savers.
What a great tutorial!! Thank you so much!! Cant wait to get started
GreT tutorial!! I'm going to make this but I'm going to try and make it larger!
Thanks for sharing been wanting to learn how to make a basket
Thank you for posting this basket tutorial. It is very easy to follow and I manage to make a basket.. please keep posting a video, 😊😊❤️😻
You are so welcome!
34:55 the invisible joint is great, thank you!
Thx for teaching us. You are great
You are excellent teaching so easy to follow along. Thank you so very much
Glad it was helpful!
Ahh I’d love to make this😆 I’ll have to save it for later when I get more yarn, thanks for the amazing tutorial
Thank you so much for the crystal clear instructions! Managed to do one myself!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Great tutorial... to prevent the hexagon from the begging I start staggering at row 2 and then on even rows so the double stitches in the center crochet so on row. So first stagger you do 2 sc in the individual stich and then sc in each the 2 stitches in next one
oh that's a great idea!
I am following your tutorial, but with t-shirt yarn...hope is beautiful as yours!! Regards from Mexicali, Mexico!!
Wonderful! Let me know how it turns out!
Great tutorial.
this looks amazing! you make it look so easy.
Thank you!
Thank you 🌺
Love it!
Me trying to learn how to make circles, also needs basket to keep yarn in. Finds this video ;)
I'm following this and it's so hard on my arm, my yarn is so thick I had to go up to a 7mm hook and now I'm worried it's going to be too big lol its giving my right arm a right workout.
Hi, I found your channel via a link in a Facebook group. Your tutorial is great, and I've subscribed x
Awesome! Thank you!
I have already completed a basket very successfully! Very easy tutorial to follow - thank you! I would like to make a basket that is bigger in diameter. Can you assist? TIA!
Hello, so glad you are enjoying the pattern. To make a larger one you will need to increase the number of rounds on the bottom. Just make sure you increase by 6 sts for each additional round.
Top!!👍
Please make more videos! :)
I have just started crocheting again... im a knitter...but I have taken a liking to crocheting out of the blue... I love this basket however I was wondering a few things..
First do you have a pdf that is printable?
2nd would you share the measurements of what the bottom before starting the sides?
And lastly how would you go about making it larger? 🤔
🙂
Your tutorial is 👍 I just had these few questions as I am going along with the video and trying to hard I think hahaha 😆 but am very curious about making it larger how the increase would go...
I decided to crochet like 5 days ago with the idea of a basket as a gift. Im sad my basket is flawed, row increase on second color is a diagonal, my bottom i had to get into another yard for the last two rounds, counts were off by the end.. idk what I've done wrong but for my first project it is close and still inpressed with myself. I will be attempting again. Tips for beginner?
In second color does it start with slip stitch evertime too? I think thats where I went wrong if so.
Hi! When you join the second color you will add it when you do your slip stitch to connect the row before. So when you are ending your last row with the first color, switch to the second during your join. Hope that makes sense.
How long does this take everyone to make?
I love everything about this! Wool makes me itch, what other type of yarn would you recommend I could use with this same technique?
Thank you for sharing!
I’d say any other bulky yarn
Thank you for the pattern, love it can't wait to start. I have 6 balls of lion brand thick and quick. Would like to make a bigger one, using all 6 balls how many stitches do I have to add on for each row. Would greatly appreciate it. I'm excited
So glad you like the pattern. I'm not exactly sure how many rounds you'd have to add to use up all six balls, but you can increase the base rounds until you get the size you'd like. Just make sure you're increasing each extra round by 6 stitches. Then you'll need to add extra rounds to the top too.
♥️Loved the colors you pick out. Like lion brand yarn to have never work with the thicker yarn yet. Just had to ask could you do one more round to the handle to make it more stable, or do you think that will not work well. Thank you🤗 be safe.
Yes you can! As long as you have enough yarn you can definitely go around again after the handles.
@@MeghanMakesDo
Thank you🤗
If we wanted to make the basket larger, would we continue to make more rounds of single crochet? i.e. repeat rounds 14-18 again until our basket base is to our liking of size.
Yes, just make sure that you increase by 6 stitches for each additional round.
Curious how many yards for the total for the whole basket. I ran short?
Could you tell me the exact skeins you used and how many yard each was?
I ran short as well... the video tutorial makes it seem like you only need one skein of each colour. But the pattern on her blog says approximately 200 yards of bulky, or 315 yards of super bulky...
I used Lion Brand Yarn's Wool-Ease Thick and Quick. I just used 3 skeins total, each skein is about 106 yards.
I used tshirt yarn and, oh honey, round 20 is about to murder my fingers. Lol, thank you so much for this pattern!
Love the video! First time I have crocheted. My basket looks great but I have, I’m sure a beginners error, my join keeps traveling....so it’s diagonal instead of straight up 🤔
Any idea how I might have done this? It still looks great, but I’d like to improve my skills. Thanks 🙏
I would definitely use a stitch marker so you know where each round starts and ends. Don't forget the ch 1 doesn't count as a stitch so you should be slip stitching into the same st you started your round with.
This isn't an error. The crochet is actually working in a spiral not a circle so you will always have a traveling line because of the nature of the spiral. I'm a perfectionist so I did some research on how to remedy this. look up "The invisible slip stitch:" ua-cam.com/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/v-deo.html & for invisible slip stitch color change: ua-cam.com/video/UjSCCTPMM_I/v-deo.html (these tutorials helped me immensely and it works) Hope this helps.
Does the basket stand up on its own or does it collapse easily?
It will stand up on it's own, but the sides are still flexible.
If I were to use just 1 color throughout how many balls of yarn would you suggest?
You'll need about 3 skeins of Lion Brand Thick and Quick or roughly 300 yards of any super bulky yarn.
I want to make this, but wider/bigger for storage of my daughters toys as right now she just has 3 seperate small baskets holding it all and it gets so messy no matter how I try to organise them. How would I work out how to keep adding increases to the base of the basket? As I don't want it super tall since shes only 2 years old so rather just make it wider
Hi Stephanie! To make the basket bigger you’ll need to add rounds to the bottom. You’ll add 6 sts per round. Just make sure you’re spacing the increases out each round so they don’t lay right on top of each other. That will keep your basket round.
Hi there! I hope you see this... do you have a pattern version for smaller sizes? Or what rows/rounds to stop at for small/med
I don't have a set pattern, but it would be super easy to adjust. Just take out some of the initial base rounds. When you are happy with the size of your circle, start following the instructions at the end of Round 18. Then just continue to add rounds until you have the height that you want. To add the handles you'll have to figure out where to place them so they are even on both sides. Hope that helps!
Loving this video and the turnout of my basket so far!! Quick question though in round 42 is the stitch when you join the handle does that count as one of the 46 stitches to the next handle?
Yes it does!
Hello can you please tell me the yarn type.. need to buy this one.. please
I used Lion Brand Thick and Quick yarn.
HI if I have medium weight yarn can I use double strands to make it work? Thanks
I believe that will work!
When your working in the 20s and 40 rows are you slip stitching at the end of each round?
Yes.
@@MeghanMakesDo
When you slip stitch and then chain one, are you chaining one each round
Did you get this message?
yes, you'll need to chain one at the beginning of each round.
Can you use lion brand Hometown yarn or is it too slippery?
It may be a bit slippery and the basket might not stand up as much, but if you want to give it a go you can.
Hi, I love this basket . If I make it with t shirt yarn do I use the hook size that goes with the yarn or a smaller hook so it's more dense ? Hope that makes sense .
Thank you
If using t-shirt yarn you may need to go up a hook size. I recommend checking your gauge and making sure it matches the gauge listed in the pattern.
Thank you 👍
I got confused in round 11. I not coming up 66 stitches for me. I am not sure if you are saying. 5 single crochet then an increase in the 6th stitch then 4 single crochet crochet and increase in the 5th stitch. Do I have to continue the same pattern? I come up with more than 66 stitches. 🤔😞
You'll be making your increases in different spots so you get a more round shape. You would start with 5 sc, increase in the 6th st, then sc 4 and repeat that sequence. You will end up with 9 sts in between the increases until the end, then you will do 4 sc. Hope that makes sense. It may help to see the written instructions which are up on my blog.
How many yards are required ????
Counting stitches as you go and the count doesn't come out right ?
If I follow the tutorial - what size would the finished project be? I am trying for a basket maybe 18-20 + inches high.
The finished size is approx. 11.5" wide and 8" high. If you want a larger basket you would just need to add more rounds to the bottom, making sure to increase by 6 sts each round. Then just add rounds to the top until you get the height that you like.
Does it have to be wool.ease ?
Any Super Bulky yarn will work.
Can’t open blog
Hello wondering if the yarn we use matters to make this happen I’ve been following your video step by step but it doesn’t seem like it’s rising up I do not use a stitch marker so I guess that could be my issue not doing this right.
The bulkier yarn will help it to stay upright. If the sides aren't going up it may be that you are adding stitches in those rounds.
what are the dimensions for the basket? I'm just wondering how big it is :)
Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve made this before. I’m coming out with 60 stitches on row 10 but getting 70 not 66 on row 11!! Help
Hi Tina! Row 11 is where the pattern repeats get switched up a bit. You'll start by working 5 sc, then increase, then sc 4, then you repeat that sequence all the way around so after the initial increase you'll have 9 sc stitch in between each increase. Hope that makes sense.
i made my basket! i would like to show it to you. How i can send you a picture? thank you :)
Yes please! You can tag me on social media @meghanmakesdo or send a photo to meghan@meghanmakesdo.com
I have a question..I am on the last color going around. I just noticed that this basket is getting wider and wider than the bottom. What am I doing wrong???
No answer?😔
Hi Diana, it sounds like you may be adding a stitch in each round. I find it helps to place a stitch marker in the first st of the round so I know where to join and start the next round. Count how many stitches you have in your last round and if it is more than the pattern indicates then you may be accidentally adding stitches.
When you reach 108 stitches- do you count that first stitch you do, and stitch mark, as one of you 108 stitches??? I’m trying to figure out how to count them probably too see if I accidentally added a stitch or not
Are you referring to round 19? I’m having an issue of only counting 107 stitches so I’m wondering if the chain 1 counts as a stitch.
@@jessiescott1307 that’s what I’m wondering too!
Yes, the first stitch in each round counts in the 108. So do your first stitch and place your marker there. That way you'll know which one to sl st into at the end.
I am stuck with row 12. I keep trying but at the end i am left with 8 stitches and not 7. So when you start the round you count the increase as 1 single crochet correct? For the previous rounds I don't think that was the case so I am confused. Could you help?
Thank you
Hello, hopefully I can help. The increase should count as 2 sts in your final counts. Make sure you start round 12 with 3 sc, then increase, then sc 7 and repeat so you'll have 10 sts inbetween each increase until the end where you will sc 7. Let me know if that helps at all.
@@MeghanMakesDo Thank you.
what would the pattern be if you wanted to make the base a bit bigger? i tried looking for a pattern from rows 11-18 but wasn't able to find it
If you want to make your base bigger, you just need to increase by 6 stitches each round. Make sure you're adding those increases at different spots each time so your base will lay flat.
I’m not sure if you know, but when you put 2 single crochets into the same stitch(hole), it’s called and *increase*.
Wish she showed the size of this basket.
You can find all the details for the free pattern on my blog which is linked in the description. The basket I made in the video ended up being about 11.5 inches wide and 8" tall.
Do you have a pattern
Yes I do! You can find it on my blog or in my shop. www.meghanmakesdo.com
