Artisan Market Basket crochet tutorial from Crochet Southwest Spirit. Great for craft fairs!

- Artisan Market Baskets mix scrap yarns of any weights from fingering to bulky, and mix any fiber types! Make a beautiful tweed basket in a small or large size.
Artisan Market Baskets are excellent sellers at craft fairs! Recommended pricing: at least $40 for small baskets and at least $80-100 for large baskets. Popular with other crafters and great for storing yarn. Makes a lovely housewarming present when you put a house plant inside!
Artisan Market Baskets are crocheted with 7 strands of yarn held together as one. 8 mm hook. All single crochet stitches in US terms.
Skill level: advanced beginner because it can be tricky to crochet with 7 strands at once. The single crochet stitch itself is simple.
Crochet pattern: Artisan Market Baskets from my book Crochet Southwest Spirit: Over 20 Bohemian Patterns Inspired By The American Southwest. Available on Amazon here: amzn.to/3Wodr0J or check it out at your local public library!
Small basket requires about 1 1/4 pounds or 550 grams of mixed yarn scraps, fingering to bulky/chunky weight. That is about half of a typical plastic grocery bag full.
Large basket requires about 2 1/4 pounds or 1 kg of mixed yarn scraps. That is a full plastic grocery bag of yarn scraps.
You can tie knots to join yarns, leaving 3-inch tails to crochet over as shown in the tutorial.
Long handles required about 60 inches (152 cm) of 3/4 inch wide (2 cm wide) faux leather strap per basket. Short handles require about 18-20 inches (46-51 cm) strap. Here is the faux leather strap I used on Amazon: a.co/d/j8n6KHF.
I use a Susan Bates brand 8 mm aluminum crochet hook with a bamboo handle. You can buy it for $5.49 USD at Joann.com. www.joann.com/...

I had a stroke 5 years ago and have struggled to regain my crochet ability. I've always been a craft crazed maniac and I just tried this method of the bulky 7 strand and larger hook just to see and I can do it!!! I'm so excited and thankful!!! I'm ordering your book today and will be getting one going this week!! I must have been guided to your channel...Thank you so much.
Amazing! I am so glad you can crochet this project. Good for you for getting back to crafting. I am a neuroscientist in my day job and I love to hear about the ways our brains heal.
😢
That’s what I did after my stroke. I have cancer as well so knitting n crocheting or quilting w larger needles has really helped me get my strength back in my hands. I’m looking at a really big surgery on knee and femur so I’m looking for projects to do while laid up.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Yay!!! May your stroke symptoms get better day by day. May our God heal your body and strengthen you with His hope. You are not alone. You ARE loved, forever ❤
Could you do an oval pattern??
You get the UA-cam award for excellent instruction, as far as I’m concerned!! Your video and detailed instructions are incredibly helpful. I am 5 rows away from completing my first (large) basket, and I am hooked! Pun intended! Thanks for this video, but more importantly, thanks for making the world a kinder place by putting it out there for all of us.
Superior instruction, indeed!
I think it great that you worked to get crochet skills back, you know that you're a strong Woman ❣️
I think you're instruction so that we all can follow. Your Basket is Beautiful, hope mine comes out as good
I concur. A beautiful person indeed. It shows through the video🤍
This is one of the best how to do anything videos I've ever seen!!! The angle of the camera is perfect and her explanations are simple helpful and not overly verbose. I can see and understand everything she is doing. Teachers stand up and take notes.
Wow!! Thank you so much for showing us how to make this basket!!! Your instructions are clear and I think I can do it. If I start now I may be able to make them for my whole family for Christmas. Really, that was very generous for you to take 2 hours out of your life and share that for free. Thank you for your kindness!!!!
❤
This tutorial is a blessing for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have so much yarn scraps and just couldn’t throw them out. I’ve saved this tutorial and know I can refer back to it when I need help. Again, thank you.
Carrie
Susan, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your gorgeous craft with all of us who love crocheting.
Thank you Susan for the gift of this tutorial. Such beautiful Artisan Market Basket.
Thank you so much for your tutorial and especially for not using any music! I have a hard time understanding voice instructions whenever there is background "noise" at the same time. I have crocheted for more than 60 years, but I learned something from your video that will help me to improve my work!!!! I love it when that happens!🤣
I second the music. I have autism and cannot follow videos with a music background. It's such a treat to find videos that don't use music.
I have not done any crochet for over 30 years, but I have just ordered yarn and a whole set of new crochet needles because they now have nice thick handles for arthritic fingers like mine. I am legally bind but have enough vision to do this. I had to give up my beloved sewing, and need a creative outlet so much. I love big baskets, so this project is going to be my return to fiber arts and for that, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent and expertise. It means more to me than you can possibly know to have a way to create again.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Tears of joy and gratitude!) ❤❤❤
I am proud to say I bought the book crochet southwest spirit. And I really love it . Thanks 😊
Thanks for your support! 💗
I am making a basket with 4 yarns because 2 are chunky and the other 2 are bulky. I tried with an 8mm and had to switch to a 9mm. It's coming out tight. It is definitely likely to not be a floppy basket. Thank you so much for the tutorial! ❤
Unfortunately, I don’t have the mental capacity to watch your beautiful work. However, I did want to stop and tell you how beautiful your bags are.
I love your pattern can’t wait to try it
I just can't get enough of your designs! Thank you so much Susan 🧶💜
I went right to Amazon and ordered the strapping and I started a bag/basket. I'm about 3/4 finished!!! So excited. I took 3 hrs today and caked up yarn on the winder. I held 3 strands together and made cakes! I thought this would be much easier to manage!
I'm addicted now!!!!!
My husband loves them too. He would like me to make a tall one for a clothes hamper in the bathroom. I'm going to give it a try!
Thank you again! 🧶💛
Please come back and tell how it went. How tall you made the basket and how much yarn (weight) you used for it.
I'm from Kenya ,please can guide me on how I can get your book?
What a great idea! ❤
The link is in her notes above. Click on “ …more “
My hands are aching watching this!! But, that won’t stop me!
Same! I’m trying to convince myself to at least try but it still looks painful.
Me too. I did a similar stitch before foe a yarn basket, it hurt. But I will try this again. Looks so good!😊
I just found my next project (or two or three). Great idea for gifts too.
I literally stopped working on a cardigan to start this basket 😂
OMG, same!!
I i used one super bulky, 2 thinner strands and 4 of the super saver size yarns. It made a much bigger bottom with fewer rounds...si i just started the side when it felt right! I cant wait for my book to arrive!!
I think that's what terrific about a project like this. While Susan gives us specific instructions so we can duplicate her results, she also gives us enough basics that we can make the baskets to suit our yarn stash, our needs and preferences. We can make them bigger, smaller, taller, shorter... I'm getting some yarn stash together for my first one. Who knows exactly what size it will be? I'll estimate size in advance but keep my options open.
What a brilliant idea to use the yarns that we bought for other projects that did not come to light. Or the hook! I love the idea of using different weights of yarn. So brilliant! Appreciate the mention of the price. Currently, not there at being a vendor but as a Nana my beautiful granddaughter keeps me busy with ideas that at times keep me away from the sewing of quilts. Thank you for sharing such talent that is so inspirational and connects with life.
I'm not only a yarn addict, but a colorful big bag addict too ! That's a very fair price for them too, Susan. If I'm able to hold a hook this size, I'm giving this pattern a try. 🥰
Me too!! ❤❤❤
Looks awesome! I’ve done 3 at once. 7 strands seems ambitious. I will give it a go! Thanks for the ideas! ❤🎉 I bet without handles and a bit shorter they would make great pet beds!
Yes! I can attest to that - my toy poodle crawled up into my basket several times while I was working on the sides... LOL!
I love the baskets you make. Thank you so much for sharing the technique.🎉
I TAUGHT MYSELF TO CROCHET WHEN I WAS 72YRS.OLD WITH HELP FROM UTUBE TUTORIALS. BAG O DAY, JAYDA, LOTS OF ENLAND TEACHERS. I CAN'T READ A PATTERN
I can't read a pattern either.
I have cryptlexia and can't read crochet patterns either!
@DawnDBoyerPhD I never heard of cryptlexia. Going to look that up. Crypt usually means hidden
Let me look.
@@PURPLEHAZE30000 It’s parallel to dyslexia but instead of letters I get numbers mixed up so I can’t figure out crochet patterns
@DawnDBoyerPhD thank you.
I like your product and I am excited to get started using my scrap yarns. I am 79 years old and still loving crafting/sewing. I make my Christmas gifts for adult family/ couples etc. Arthritis limits productivity. I just keep going. There is so much more fun for me through people like you. God bless your creative gift In the years to come. 😊❤
Thanks Susa6. I will find this book 😊
Thank you for sharing. I'm 68yrs. I've been crocheting off and on for yrs , never made basket 🧺 before.
Thank you Susan for this tutorial and your lovely book.
Have you ever thought about put each ball of yarn in a soda bottles. Like cute it on the middle and pull the yarn string from the top or maybe a plastic container with 7 holes or those wine cartons boxes that have separations. It might work. Just some ideas 🤷♀️.
I am do excited to try this. My crochet skills are the beginner level. I am pretty sure I can do this 🙏
I’m going to try these for grocery shopping when I go to farmers markets thank you ❤
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 10. I'm now 68 and still crocheting, among other hobbies! I love this tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make it. It is very well done. I'm going to get the book.
Thank you! 💗 I love crochet. So peaceful and productive.
My aunt taught me around 5-6 yo & I've been crafting ever since.
Very much appreciate your beautiful and useful baskets. Thanks dearly for sharing how to crochet them and add straps.
I am glad you mentioned the pricing !! This looks like a great basket/bag. I have tons of scrap I have to use up.
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have been a knitter for 40 years, but have only been able to master single crochet. This video has given me the confidence to delve deeper into crochet! I started my large basket this morning and just finished it! It's fabulous 🎉❤
I am starting a crochet group for older crocheter day the senior apartments and I am going to share this videos so we can use up all our scraps . I did this with a blanket using 3 strands and used so many different colors . It came out great and everyone loves it . I made it for my son . His friends have made requests for scrapghan . But I have to make this basket
I'm going to show this video to my 85 year old mother. She always has a stash of wool and enjoys new projects. You have such a beautiful smile and a lovely energy, thank you for this video, it is very inspirational and uplifting :o)
Plant pot cover - great idea!! I love these. Thank you for your video.
So glad I stumbled across this video. I now know what to do with my moms stash of yarn that i inherited. She had so much I was overwhelmed with the amount. Now I'm glad I got it.
I don't know how to crotchet but listening to your voice is like a day at the spa. You could make a fortune doing guided meditations. I also might try crocheting lol
Thank you! 💗
QUESTION: What is the best way to keep the strands from tangling together?
@@dianabusby420 I try to separate them a bit. For example, I might put 2 balls on the couch by my side, 2 balls straight out in front of me on the floor, and the other 3 balls on the floor to my left.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!!! Unfortunately, I did not get to finish the bag. My princess decided it was for her instead and now all the cats want one, and the family's cats, and the neighbor's cats and small dogs, and friends...
I love this. ❤️
I absolutely love this watching you do the whole tutorial on how to make these bags. Thank you very much.
Thank you dear lady for keeping us informed. Yes, we must hold compassion for the children and continue to pray for them. 🙏💫
Lovely. Thank you for being so generous with your lovely project. You are a very good teacher. An oblong basket would be great as a tote.
I did it. finished my first small basket. Made it the perfect size for a plant holder I have. and thank you so much for the inspiration.
You must be a living Saint with all the great things you do for others.
Hi Susan. I am watching your video, sittong in the garden in Boston Lincolnshire UK. Whilst , I can knit I have never mastered the art of crochet. I am going to attempt to make your basket, starting with the small one. They are absolutely beautiful and a great way to use up my scrap stash.....Thank you for sharing. Also, going to look for your book on Amazon ❤
I make pretty much the same thing but crochet the handles also using my scrap yarn and going with up to 12 strands at a time. I call them my forever bags. The one i have kept i crocheted over 20 years ago.
I used to teach young girls from 9-14 how to knit and crochet with me providing the yarn leaving me with many acrylic (cheaper) leftovers. On top of that people have been very happy to give me their mom's stash that they didnt want to throw away as many dont realize thrift stores will accept them. Sometimes i do them totally random, when one ball ends i just grab another random one. Sometimes i have combined randome with one color stripes or to create a heart on one side for instance. The straps are wide enough to enable you to carry alot of weight. One time i weighed out the library booksi i was carrying and it was 23 lbs but still easy on my shoulder.
Have also used it for refrigerated or frozen foods because it is like an insulated bag ensuring things are still cold when i get home.
If something leaks its ok because i can just was and dry on heat which tightens it up a little so it never gets stretched out of shape.
I never had a problem selling them for $75-$100 each depending on the style which would vary a little. It was always feel like an accomplishment to complete one for someone because it was personalized for each person, they were quick to make, cleared out my stash and since i have always done them in single crochet so they never required total focus.
Glad to see someone else doing the same thing.
Thank you, I now know what l’m making my mother in law for Mother’s Day.
I love this basket. You have inspired me to get a head start for holiday gifts for my family.
These are gorgeous and I have so much yarn. I need to make some of these to get rid of some of it. Thank you. You are amazing
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tutorial. I used to crochet when I was younger and would love to do it again. You have inspired me with your beautiful baskets! They are truly lovely! And so are you! 🫠Sending much aloha across the miles!🌈🌺🙋♀️
I'm 57 years old and just started crocheting this year. So far, I've made a couple of baby blankets and a couple of throws. I've also made lots of washcloths, which are popular with my family and friends. I am currently working on a granny square blanket, but would love to give the basket a try next! You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
My home state making me proud! Life-long crocheter and I love this! I'll be purchasing your book and making these. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your generosity in providing us with a complete make of your lovely totes ! I’m going to start !
Thank you very much for a detailed video.Learnt a lot. Much love from Pune , India.🙏🙏
Love these baskets. Perfect for a picnic , grocery bag, beach bag. I love them. Thankyou for sharing with us.
I guess it would be easy to make an oval base too. And thank you so much for sharing
I’m also thinking about cutting strips of fabric, running them through a bias binding tool and having all sorts of fun!
Absolutely beautiful! I've loved baskets forever and will definitely give this a go! Thank you for your generosity - sharing your craft and passion for it here. It's what connects us all over the world. x
Thank you so much for these easy directions. I am addicted. I made 10 in the last 2 weeks. I also lined mine with a fabric and fleece cover circle of thin board for the bottom. They turned out great. I love your book which I ordered ASAP. I am thrilled.
@@nancigreen9560 great idea on how to line it! Thank you for your support 💗
This bag cost me over 60.00 to make. I used cotton yarn.(with fake leather straps- I bought two thin belts at a discount store)
And I only did the 10 rows of the round part.
It took me about 6 hours to make.
I do also just cotton 😅 and it is expensive 😢.
@@lydiakress6570 yes. If you want to take it up a notch, use twine from the dollar tree and mix in one strand. It makes it more of a beach bag.
And sturdier. And it’s not as expensive as the yarn. I think I used 5 of them.
I'm not sure what it is but sure that I will look it up thank you blessing.
I'll bet this would be a good stashbuster
Make plarn... from plastic bags for free (unless your city charges for grocery bags).
Hi Susan🫶🏼 you totally crack me up when you say something (like sew in the ends one at a time so they don’t show) then you subtly giggle. It’s like in your head you are saying “yeah right Susan, as if they won’t show “. I laugh at loud at your wit!
This is a fantastic tutorial and I thank you for your time sharing. 🙏🏼 I definitely want to buy your beautiful book 📕
Great job❣️❣️ LeeAnne Ray
Thanks so much for showing us these beautiful baskets and how you make them. I’ve been making and selling rag rugs but for the past few months I’ve been searching for something new. This is it!!
Excellent teaching video! Thank you! You inspired me to make these baskets. After years of collecting yarn, I finally organized my stash in to colors and have multiple baskets planned to use up my bits and bobs and extra skeins. I just finished my first basket after discovering your video yesterday...yes, I am now obsessed. They are so much fun to crochet. I even ordered your book. My friend dropped by today and saw my basket. She left and is now on her way to buy yarn to make them too. Thank you again, you are a WONDERFUL teacher.
This is one of the best basket tutorials I have seen. You explain everything so clearly. Thank you for such a lovely tutorial. I'm subscribed now and keeping an eye on your channel. . 👍 💗 👍
I just found your channel and I subscribed. My daughter and I always used leftover yarn to make crazy Afghans. I made baskets before, but not like this. My friend wanted me to make different size baskets for her daughter's toys. I looked online for ideas, but never could find what I was wanting. Then I found your channel. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I liked your ideas of using scrap yarns, very cleaver and very pretty with multiple colors!
I also made and sold quite a few tote bags but I used plastic shopping bags (Plarn) that I cut into stripes, connecting them together then I crocheted them (I also did single crocheted) into tote bags, water bottles carriers, mats and a few others odds-ends.
I started making them from plastic chopping bags to keeping them from end up in the landfill. I have had many friends saving plastic shopping bags for me which most people gladly saved and gave them to me. Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful works!
I am new to crochet. Your instructions are clear and your video is easy to follow. I can't wait to make my first basket! I am so glad your channel popped up on my feed.
Thank you for your very generous and thorough tutorial. Even though I’ve even crocheting for many years, I still find myself learning. I’ll be ordering your book.
I lived in Bayfield Colorado in the 80s. 😊. Loved it there. Planning on making these as gifts. Thank you
I'm working on basket 2 of the small version. The 2nd is a gift for a friend who keeps helping me when I cannot return the favor. I'll see her next week and plan to give it to her as a thank you. I've had to figure out how to get the occasional stray popout on the inside to go back inside, but I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have found this video! Thank you for allowing us to make and sell your basket idea! This will help me repay a small loan I just had to take out to fix my Subaru, and I find yarn stashes all the time I can use to make these beauties!
Oh my word I've got to show this to my daughter and granddaughter 😊🤗
Love it .
I've got left over yarn from project's and this is a great way to use it 😊 and have bags that can be used for a variety of things !!
What a great tutorial! I hadn't picked up my hook in quite a while. I am almost done making my first basket and I can see how these would become addicting. For this basket, I just picked up all the odd scrap yarns that I had left over from projects past. When I initially started, I couldn't deal with fussing with all the different skeins, so I stopped, unraveled the beginnings and went ahead and rolled all my yarns into balls. My husband came up with the brilliant idea of throwing them into a large wire cage type basket and running the various yarns thru different spots in the cage, so they never get tangled. I did have to move up to a larger hook, but the result is still beautiful. Thank you!!!
Don't have time to watch your whole video now,but will be returning when I get some other projects finished. I see making these for expecting mothers and I have a friend in assisted living who might like one. Glad I stumbled on to you.
These are so beautiful! Thank you so much for showing us how to make them!❤
Wow
Your video is awesome
I haven’t crocheted in years
You brought it all back
Thanks for your instructions
I can’t wait to have scraps to make a bag
I might have to purchase alot to make one sooner😁
Thanks again 😁👍🏻🙏
Linda from Ct
Peace ✌🏾🕊️ and blessings 🧶
Thanks for your precious inspiration. I have lots of yarn and I'm begining to use them like you did. Kisses and love from Portugal ❤🎉
Wow! What a great tutorial! You inspire me to make these with Buffalo yarn as I live in Canada. Thank you!!
You are an excellent instructor and I look forward to watching more from you. I love this basket and do plan to make many of them. Thank you. I'm going to look for your book. I'm in Crandall, Texas and I'm pre-tired.
I have lots of yarn that I was going to sell. Now I am going to make baskets instead! Thank you for sharing! I just ordered your book , cannot wait to start!
❤❤❤ Loved this video...GREAT instructions!!! Thank you!!🎉
Such a beautiful bag. I’ve made 2 now and have trouble with twisting yarn. Ugh. But the result is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Very clear video 👍🏻. i was happy to watch it and think of my left over yarns that i will turn them into beautiful small baskets 😊 ❤.
I just finished making one of these and I am so pleased by how it turned out! I used one strand of a bulky 100% wool and two strands of a fingering-weight thin yarn held together and it is a nice sturdy basket with a few less strands than you used, but I am so pleased to be using up some of my stash yarns that I did not know what to do with! Thanks for posting
Thank You!!! As if I don't have enough projects ongoing, I ran to Hobby Lobby to get a few things I would need that I couldn't lay my hands on (yes, they're in the sewing room somewhere!) so I could get started tonight! Normally I use sewing machines to make what I do, but having something to take with me wherever is nice. I love, love, love these bags!!!!
Wow 😳 another beautiful item to make. Thank you 😊
Beautiful baskets. Just started my first. Struggling a little with keeping yarns from tangling. I also need to build more strength in my right hand. Taking frequent breaks helps. Thank you for this tutorial. 😊
Thank you for sharing your design for this darling basket. Your work is beautiful, and you must have very strong hands! 💖
Wow, thank you so much for your prompt reply regarding the make of the crochet hook.
I absolutely love all of your pieces, and have ordered your book, however truly love your UA-cam channel and detailed video of how to make them.
You are great!!
Wonderful baskets. I usually have trouble watching others crochet but I taught myself, so I am thinking it must be really nice to have people learning together.
It's a beautiful basket. Thank you for sharing.
These look quite similar to a few baskets I've made. I only worked with three yarn skeins at a time, and changed one color out for another periodically to give the overall basket the appearance of a color gradient. I didn't use leather for the straps, but now that I've seen your beautiful baskets I will. I crocheted my straps, but leather really is the perfect touch. Your work is lovely.
Hello fellow Coloradan!
I'm a native of Colorado and I would never even consider living anywhere else. Although I lived most my life in Denver, I now live in Longmont.
Hi!! I am hoping my oldest son will go to UC Boulder so I can visit up there more often! It’s 6 hours of slow going from here to Denver but it’s a very scenic drive! Relaxing except for Wolf Creek Pass 😬🐺🏔️
Just got notice--your book is coming today!!! I can hardly wait!!!!! 💖💕💖💕
This is my 2nd basket now and I still absolutely love your video tutorial- it’s calming and meditative for me ❤
Beautiful basket and awesome tutorial. Beautiful southwest jewelry that you are wearing.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have finally found a use for all the scrap yarn I have collected over the past 6 years. In order to make sure everything is center pull I take the time to put it on my yarn winder (2 strands at a time) and wind it up. It makes the crochet a lot easier.
This tutorial has got me SUPER excited...I have a huge amount of scraps...been looking for something to do with them that I really liked... thx u much for sharing. Your instructions and suggestions are great!!! Will start today working on birthday gifts ❤❤❤
Amazing. So glad I happened upon your tutorial. I've been searching for a better way to make a basket, this is it. Beautiful ❤️ Thank you for sharing your talents.
I seriously saved your book in my cart last week! I was just scrolling through the UA-cam streets of crochet and came across your channel. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing more content. 😊. Edit: I went ahead and purchased your book from my cart in Amazon. Looking forward to making the patterns. 😊
That was so much fun!!!!! Thank you!!! I’m making a rosey colored large one for my daughter. And I have A LOT of scraps. I’m almost done. Very satisfying as you said. I’m already planning my next one. I have 4 daughters so I’m really excited to keep going.
Beautiful baskets Susan! Can’t wait to make one!!☺️🧶
I started this today- I love the hint about filling a plastic bag to know how much yarn it takes. I also think it might be impossible to make an ugly basket purse. The yarn mixture makes it so interesting! Thank you for sharing this! I also ordered your book- the projects look amazing- can't wait to start.
