THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED!! 😁I've searched hundreds of videos for months. I'm a newbie to crochet world and have made a few baskets with different yarn, different patterns and have never been completely happy, depending what I planned on using the basket for. I have never heard of this. THANK YOU !! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. 😊😃🤗
I didn't have an inner lining of crocheted material, but still used the plastic canvas. I sewed material around it, including a padded bottom, and then anchored that to the basket by sewing through the plastic canvas, and the crocheted material. Very happy with the result. Thanks for the great idea to use this material!
This is brilliant!! have been making a basket used double strand of bulky yarn in hopes it would be stiff enough to stand up but it didn’t and it used a ton of yarn.
Made the medium Mosaic basket, and am getting ready to add the plastic canvas. Have made a few other baskets in the past, but was disappointed that they weren't stiff enough. Even without the canvas, your basket is sturdy, and your vid is so clear and easy to follow. So happy I found your channel. You truly are a great teacher!! Not sure if you have a vid for a basket with handles, but would love to see one, if you've not put that up before. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us!
Thank you for this video! I did the large basket and read the directions for the plastic canvas and wasn't exactly sure how to? I looked on UA-cam and found this! Thank you for all you do. Love the baskets.
I have used a double ended Clover set called Hamanaka for years. I don’t care for Susan Bates either and started on them when I first started crocheting. For as fast as I go the Clover Amour’s hook length actually slows me down.
Hi love this.I am not able to find plastic mesh frame to crotchet bags.I am a beginner thought that might help me.What else will work to get even rows?
Can you crochet using the frame like cross stitch, I’m trying to figure out what exactly my great grandmas Ruth and Nicoles were doing when they made little nicknacks.
Product called Paverpol could possibly be used too. You can dip fabric into the paverpol, arrange it however you want to, and it dries hard (You can get a Paverpol suitable for items put outside/all weather). Comes in clear and lots of colors and also in textured types. I've used it on fabric (clear, colorless) that I then draped over a figurine I made; while it dries you can arrange any shape in the fabric. Just thinking this could work on these kinds of baskets, also provides an easy to dust/clean surface. Not sure how suitable Paverpol would be for anything you might store fruit/edibles in though. Theoretically, you could brush it on the outside only in that case. I'm going to experiment and see how this works out. Paverpol is usually used for figurines/sculptures for decorative purposes. Someone dipped a whole dress in a tub of it, then made that "dress" into an art sculpture onto a frame of some sort. That's how hard it sets.
Nothing covers the bottom of the basket, but you could crochet a slightly smaller circle x2, and sew it together with plastic canvas inside as a removable insert for the bottom of the basket.
I see you didn't get an answer. For anyone who comes across this question, I would cut the plastic for each side individually. I would place the longer sides so they are supported by the shorter sides. I hope this makes sense. IOW, the end of your long sides should butt up against the edges of the short sides so they don't fall inwards. If you use multiple pieces, I would continue that way. Since it's not a continuous piece, the short edges would have a tendency to fall in, with nothing supporting them. You could choose a few options. Put a couple pieces on the bottom after finishing to stabilize the sides more. Use an adhesive in the corner, like a hot glue gun. I think the best would be to use the same or similar yarn to simply stitch the corners of the outermost pieces together for stability. You can take the entire setup out, stitch it together to form a box, then set it back in. It will come back out easily for washing the basket.
I don't worry about the base because I don't carry the baskets around anywhere. They're just decor, or they sit on a shelf with things in them. If you wanted to make them more sturdy on the bottom you could add a sheet of plastic canvas (some stores sell round ones) and just set it inside the basket.
Thank you so much for this! I'm just wondering... Is there any way to work this for a rounded basket? (An FYI, the yarn I've used on this is thick yarn). In any case I really like the idea of crocheting the extended part to fold over since it's a really neat way to cover the inside sides!
@@YarnandChai OMG so sorry, yes, I see that made no sense 🤣 - was obviously up too late when I wrote THAT one! I meant one that rounds inward vs sides going straight up... (like the way a fishbowl rounds in but not that much... does that make sense?)
@@CamilleGG451 Oh I see now! So you could definitely do the inner layer of fabric, you'd just need to make that layer a mirror shape of the basket. But as far as the canvas, I don't think it would work as it would be too stiff to work around the curves.
@@CamilleGG451 don't know if this will work. Might want to try it on a smaller scale first if you're going to make a large one. Also, if you want it really soft, this will affect the softness. You could do the old papier maché trick. After making it, blow up a balloon inside until it's the size of the basket and holding it out firmly. Spray well with spray starch or, better yet, dip in liquid starch. Hang until completely dry.

You are a life saver OMG I have searched and searched! My basket looked more like a doggy bed... thank you!
Total game changer 😲❤ I was about to give up on crocheting a basket because it was so floppy 😂 thank you for sharing. You are a GENIUS 🎉

Thanks for the video. Just used a thin cardboard from our recycling bin as I don't have a plastic canvas.

What a great idea! Need to check out your basket patterns...
This is genius! Your videos are so informative. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming.
Vraiment un travail de qualité !!! Mes respects ma belle
Thank you for this video! I did the large basket and read the directions for the plastic canvas and wasn't exactly sure how to? I looked on UA-cam and found this! Thank you for all you do. Love the baskets.
I LOVE the mosaic basket pattern...my first successful canvas
So glad I found you and what a great tip you gave. You now have a new subscriber
Love this! I tried a cereal box covered in corresponding material to match the basket. This will work much better!!
You are brilliant! Using plastic canvas is ingenious! 😄😄
Love this! Going to look for your basket patterns!
Beautiful! Professional looking.😃
Very cool idea, thanks for a wonderful tutorial!

Can we use this technique for mini shoulder bag?

Love this idea !
Where’s can I get the plastic canvas with big holes
Awesome idea
Thank you
If I want to stiffen the bottom of a basket, would I do the same? Or would it be a different process?
Nothing covers the bottom of the basket, but you could crochet a slightly smaller circle x2, and sew it together with plastic canvas inside as a removable insert for the bottom of the basket.
@@YarnandChai thanks for the tip :)
Wow! Thanks!
How would you add the plastic canvas to a square basket 🧺
Really very nice, Thankyou
Love this!
Thanks for this.
Absolute Genius!!!
...I do not read patterns....do you happen to have a tutorial for the crocheted basket?
I do! :) ua-cam.com/video/V-5hAm28Avg/v-deo.html
This is a great idea.
Thank you so much 😃😃😃😃
Thank you for sharing
Awesome!!
What is that yarn?
Will this work for a square or rectangle basket as well?

Good idea for the sides but what any the base..It does get floppy

When you say "rounded" basket, how is it different from the current pattern?
@@YarnandChai OMG so sorry, yes, I see that made no sense 🤣 - was obviously up too late when I wrote THAT one! I meant one that rounds inward vs sides going straight up... (like the way a fishbowl rounds in but not that much... does that make sense?)

@@YarnandChai Thanks for your reply! Yeah, I'm trying to figure out a workaround... I'm working on how to curve plastic! 😄 thx :)
@@CamilleGG451 don't know if this will work. Might want to try it on a smaller scale first if you're going to make a large one.

Can’t get ur website to work
Not sure what the issue was, possibly a momentary poor internet connection?
Awesome
