Thank you for the tutorial, and refreshing to have UK terms for a change! Didn’t make a basket, but used the pattern as a basis for a bootie to cover a plaster cast on a fractured ankle!

I used this for nesting baskets for a baby room. Chained 10, 8, and then 6 (Lg, med, sm) The large one was a bit wobbly so I made it extra extra tall and folded in on itself and sewed it up, so now it's double as thick and well reinforced. I did the big one in grey with light blue trim on top and bottom, and the med & sm ones are light blue with grey trim. Your videos are fantastic!! I've gained a ton of confidence in myself and even opened an Etsy shop for my makes. Thank you Sarah

Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to go through the pattern and in such an easy manner. Fantastic. I have difficulty knowing which part of a stitch to go into when following patterns but being able to see it clearly in your tute made it a lot simpler. Thanks again.

[@newton2411]

This is great, Bella! Thank you! Do you also have a blog post with the instructions for each round?

[@angelamcneece1137]

Do you think you could make this basket with a bigger base and do it with single crochet instead of double and half double crochet?

[@bellacococrochet]

You could certainly play around with a different stitch; single crochets will work up much tighter and smaller so you will need to add more rounds to make the base bigger 😊

[@jewelsmith5167]

So cute! I’m going to make a bunch of these for gifts!! Thank you!

[@halah2006]

Hi! Thanks so much for all your videos. I didn’t know how to crochet at first but following your beginners tutorial got me going. I’m just wondering, if I wanted to continue making a larger base for like an oval rug instead of a basket, how would the pattered be? What do I keep adding on the edges? Is every row different?

[@bellacococrochet]

You're very welcome, I'm so happy to hear my tutorials have helped you 🙂 If you wanted to make a larger base you would just need to keep on increasing by making two trebles in each stitch around the curve, until you reach the size you want. Hope this helps! 🙂

[@halah2006]

@@bellacococrochet oh so repeat the 2 trebles in each stitch step? Not the last step of the base that was 2 trebles, 1 treble, 2 trebles, 1 treble.

[@funnygirlenterprises]

Hi Bella, If I do 4 stitches along the base will it make the basket more circular or mess up the patten completely? I looked at other people's tutorials but they are not as good at explaining as you. Also I just love the terminology you use & your calming voice 😉😊 Thanks for your help Patrice

[@carolynbaesler1888]

Can I use four worsted weight yarn for this ? I can't find the yarn you are using . Thank you. This is a very nice video and easy to follow. Thanks

[@amandalouhart]

Your basket would be smaller unless you adjusted the pattern, but you could always double up the worsted weight yarn to get a chunkier effect.

[@KB-ze2vq]

Once you start the half double crochet rows (US term), the stitch count per row should stay at 56 stitches, right? There shouldn't be any increase?

[@bellacococrochet]

Once you begin working the sides of the basket there are no increases so your stitch count should stay the same 😊

Hello , can we do this with spagetti yarn?

[@twilaaffolder2610]

Bella; no matter how hard I try to get stitch out right , I always have 9 in between curved ends ! What could I so to correct this? Thanks

[@bellacococrochet]

I’d recommend using stitch markers to help you keep track of the number of stitches you have; it may be that your initial count is incorrect 😊 I’d also bear in mind that crochet is quite forgiving and if you have one extra stitch along the sides, I wouldn’t worry too much.

[@twilaaffolder2610]

I followed your video more in depth and realized I was counting the single stitch after the end curve as one of the side stitches. Since then it's fine.

[@MsBrashke]

Such a good tutorial! Thank you!

[@FlutePlayer777]

Is there any decreased on the rounded sides? The sides of my basket are sagging a little.

[@bellacococrochet]

The sides are just worked plain; if they’re sagging then I’d check your tension. It might be worth going down a hook size to get them to stand up firmer 😊

[@breannaterrero3379]

I know its been years but I'd super appreciate a response. Would you happen to remember how many grams of yarn you used for this project?

[@bellacococrochet]

I'm pretty sure I only used one ball of yarn :)

Thanks, great looking basket

[@debbiecarter8963]

It would help if you gave a total number of stitches for each round so I could check my work before I get to far.

[@pragnatanneru7673]

Can we use the same for crocheting as table cloth

[@rathnaraja5795]

What should I do if I want to keep going with the base? How to increase?

[@bellacococrochet]

To continue you can keep on increasing at the curved edge of the base, but you may need to work a longer initial starting chain for a really big basket 😊

[@rathnaraja5795]

@@bellacococrochet okay 👍🏻 I did something and somehow made the base bigger😬 I had made a wide head band but didn’t wanna use it so I made the oval base from this and joined them together. It has become a basket(little wonky) now. Thanks a lot for this tutorial 🥹

[@nicolachester2003]

If I wanted to make the base bigger would the next row of increase be the same as the 2nd or 3rd round?

[@320urwaafzal9]

Nicola Chester no in the last increase row, she was doing 1treble in one stitch, then 2 trebles in next one. If you wanna increase more then you have to: 1dc in one stitch, 1dc again into next stitch, 2dc into newt stitch. can you see the pattern now? 1dc, 1dc, 2dc into 3 stitches. if you wanna increase even more then in next row around the edges: 1dc, 1dc, 1dc, 2dc in 4 stitches. hope that helped❤

[@nicolachester2003]

Urwa Afzal thank you very much

[@shirleystokes128]

How do I make this bigger? Do I increase the base by continuing doing an increase every 3rd stitch, then following that an increase every 4th stitch? This is the only tutorial for what I want, but struggling to make it bigger.... Any help is greatly appreciated!

[@MaeNotEast]

+Shirley Stokes First you'd have to increase the number of stitches in your initial chain. That would make the basket longer. That would mean you'd also be increasing the number of stitches you make in between the end stitch cluster increases. e.g. The current pattern calls for chain 10, leaving 8 stitches between the end clusters, plus the one stitch on each side. If you increased the length to chain 15, you'd have 13 stitches between the ends. The increases at the end actually increase the width. This is a little trickier as doing it wrong can result in a warped bottom. What you suggested sounds good to me, but I'm not a pro. If it doesn't work you can always rip it out back to where the problem started and try something else. That's the beauty of crochet - it's so easy to correct your work without losing too much of it.
