I love this video ! Clear to see what it is that you are explaining . Q : how do you seamlessly add a new colour to the basket ?

[@asterandvine1784]

Hi there, when switching to a new colour complete the final yarn over of the previous stitch with your new colour.

Is there a video to finish off the basket? I’m a total beginner

[@melval8191]

Thank you for your videos. They are very clear and easy to understand. .Have you used macrame rope to make these baskets? Im wondering if the rope would make a sturdier basket than the tshirt yarn. Thx

[@asterandvine1784]

Thank you, I'm glad they're helpful! I find the t-shirt yarn is very sturdy when using the knit stitch. I've also used rope which I like a lot, it just gives a different look.

I have problems with my baskets…the yarn pulls to the Center…do you know why I’ve how to fix? I would love to see you do a whole basket with the wood bottom.

[@asterandvine1784]

Hi Lisa, I'm not sure when I'd be able to post a video of a whole basket it one go. If you find your baskets are starting to pull in as you crochet up, try loosening up your tension or switching to a larger hook size.

[@super8ballkids]

I’m getting much better with them…going up a hook size helps

Where do you get your yarn for these baskets? Or what brand do you buy? I’m having trouble finding it. It’s probably because I don’t exactly know what to purchase.

[@asterandvine1784]

I sell all these products on my website- www.asterandvine.com, in the video I'm using t-shirt yarn and a wooden basket bottom.

Can you use double crochet to make the basket?

[@asterandvine1784]

Yup! I find that when I use double crochet the walls aren't quite as sturdy, but it still has a nice overall look.

Wastecoat stitch? Should be explained as per where u can get straight up stitches. If inserted incorrectly, the stitches will b crooked. 🤪
