Who will you be making your crochet basket for?? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

[@anjamkiyani2702]

Maybe a friend.

[@cattitus4336]

Love that little basket!

[@dojomojo1952]

I am being selfish and want to make it for myself

[@SigoniMacaroni]

@@dojomojo1952 No shame in that! This one was for me! 😆

I have been trying to crochet a basket for my Mom who had to move into a nursing home. She loves to knit, but has Alzheimer’s and can’t remember how to knit or crochet and that makes her cry, so I am making it for her. Thank you so much I have been looking everywhere for a tutorial like this. Thank you, what a blessing.

[@user-xk8pw1ch4v]

I have the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. I am 50 and terrified. ❤ And hugs to you all.

[@lys7279]

@@user-xk8pw1ch4v I hope for you that you have loving people around you and that you get to live as normal a life as possible for as long as possible. I know from experience that it is very different for each person and some can still enjoy life fairly normally for years. I wish that for you ❤

[@hlegler]

You're a natural teacher. I love that there's no distracting music. Very easy to follow! Super cute pattern! I'm going to try it with some blackberry cordage I made.

[@SaelaSolomon]

I’m making one for my mum been crocheting for 2 days now, your videos are by far the best to follow thank you

[@aprilbatley6738]

Luv how u teach, this is the first time ive been able to do a border on something , God hass really blessed you, ty

[@fmach12]

Your video was the best! Thank you! Like others also pointed out here: Simple, no music..And no polished nails ! Plain and straight to the point. Your demonstration made me get the mistake i was repeatedly making. I love making the baskets because of the colour patterns i create. I like to look at them after they are ready and use them for various things: Store bits and pieces and give them away to people who love them as well.

[@michelleb1539]

Wow- started and finished this project while watching tv! That’s a record for me. Thank you for the tutorial, and for pointing out the false slip stitch- now I know why all my projects in the round have an extra stitch!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

That's awesome! I'm so glad you found that part helpful and that you already have a super cute basket finished! ❤️

[@andrewh1737]

Hi

[@HilaryWimsatt]

My beautiful basket looks just like yours! I'm so happy with this project and my new skills. First time using such a big hook and yarn, as well as first time using the crab stitch. I'm going to make more of these and fill them with chocolates or other treats for holiday gifts. This was an excellent, user-friendly tutorial and video. Thank you!

[@sharonhawkinson8199]

This is my first basket and first crab stitch, thanks for the great intructions!!

[@rejoyce318]

Thanks for pointing out the false (slip) stitch at the end of round 2, as well as the close-up.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Of course! I’m glad it was helpful!

[@sissy55ful]

1st time of doing the crab stitch. I love the look it gives. I will make this for my Pastor's wife.

[@marylay59]

I just finished my first basket! Your videos are so easy to follow. I made it for my niece who will be off to college in August. It was also my first time with the crab stitch. Thank you❤️

[@paulagulley6215]

I have crocheted many years and never heard of the Crab Stitch. Your directions for the entire basket are excellent. I completed this basket today and love it. Thank you so much!

[@kristeekremer1201]

I love tutorials that go slow enough for you to follow along❤

[@juliedent3582]

Thank you so much for a very easy to follow pattern, I’m a complete beginner and due to your excellent instruction I completed a lovely basket in about an hour. It was my first time doing Crab Stitch too and I shall definitely be following and making other things…

[@SigoniMacaroni]

I’m so happy to hear that!!

[@favrdoer]

First time doing the crab stitch. I really like the look of it on this basket. I’ve done two now. Took the first one to work and am using it as a candy bowl. Did the second one in two colors because I ran out of first color. People like it. I agree with all the positive comments 😊. Great tutorial.

[@andreiaknuts3033]

Just did a basket for the first time as a complete beginner. Did so well I now have a lovely extra gift for my mother with some lovely soap and reusable face cotton wipes. Loved it. Will do for everyone now...

[@lisakay0685]

This was my first time doing the crab stitch and I loved it! In no time, it became a natural flow to the stitch. I definitely will be using this stitch again. Thank you for the great video and easy to follow instructions! I am back to crocheting and had to teach myself all over again because its been about 25 years...yikes!

[@user-uf7ut5mf4w]

I absolutely LOVE this crab stitch! So easy and makes the top look so cute and finished! Thank you

[@gravityaroundme]

I love your tutorial...finally I able to make basket. Clear instruction, no distracting music. Thank youuuuu

[@elaineb1409]

Thank you so much for this pattern. I did it in less than an hour and even pulled out some Rose. I did mine with the baby yarn. I think it’s the Burnett baby yarn I used you did this simple enough for beginners and quick enough for those of us who have years of experience thank you so much for your simple easyclear instructions for beginners and those of us who are non-beginners. I’m very pleased with my project. Thanks again.

[@MaydenCA]

Great, easy-to-follow tutorial. I just recently started learning to crochet, so this was my first time doing a magic circle and the crab stitch. Your tutorials made it so easy. I love how my little basket came out.

[@jewelrussell8288]

Thank you for your video. One of the clearest to understand I have seen and the speed of your work makes it easy to follow you. I also appreciate you taking your viewers through to the end of the project.

[@brimatt21]

That was fun! First time doing the crab stitch. Caught on quickly. Thanks for a wonderful video!

[@tracyventura6403]

Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Brand new to the crochet world after knitting hats for years. Just finished learning granny squares and yours was the first pattern I followed. Great,easy to follow instructions. I did not find the crab stitch too difficult with your great demo! Thank you! My first Basket turned out great!

[@lollyowens9191]

Woke up early, put on some nice Christmas music, sat by the tree and crocheted this lovely gift!! This was my first time doing the crab stitch and I LOVE how it looks! Thanks so much ☺️this will be a great gift!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Oh that sounds like the best morning! ❤️ I’m so glad you enjoyed the pattern!

[@estelitaetoile9946]

Thank you! I made a cat bed with your pattern 😊

[@KristyLutterloah-vz9jq]

I just wanted to let you know, I love your videos they've helped me so much in my new crochet journey I started on March 24th and I feel like I've come so far so thank you. Also on the basket I wanted to let you know I love it and I've made so many but on my most recent one I decided to use super bulky blanket yarn and for rows 5 and 6 I kind of dis my own thing I turned to work from the outside(like you did for the reverse single crochet) and I did a half double crochet in the back loops only for row 5 and then did a single crochet in the 3rd loop of the hdc . But I wouldn't be able to do that had I not had you helping me learn from day 1.

[@aprilpost4506]

This was my first basket and first time with crab stitch, this video was very easy to follow and will need perfect because it looks a little lopsided, but overall I am happy with my first time. Thank you for the great video.

[@jodyyanta4000]

Thank you so much for no music and easy instruction doesn’t how to make a basket and showing me what to do next I believe I can do this now

[@aprildoorneweerd2514]

This was an easy pattern to follow. Thank you for the wonderful step by step instructions. I also did the crab stitch for the first time too.

[@user-mb7jq8ks8w]

Tried the crab stitch for the first time. Thanks for sharing! It is perfect for the basket and it does make it look more finished. 🫶🏼

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

I'm not terrific at crocheting, but I completed this basket and it looks so good! It's the first time doing the crab stitch too! It's a snowy day, so why not learn something new!!😀

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yay! So exciting! If you do decide to continuing crocheting, I do have a full masterclass that will take you from "not terrific" to "freakin astounding!" 😊 You can find the full class here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6K9ZJ15fcaXmdU

[@lyndapussell6749]

Thanks, I made my first box but mine was bigger as I must have increased too many stitches from magic circle but it still looks ok, it’s for my last Christmas present 🎁 The basket weave was quite difficult as I didn’t know you only pulled through 2 stitches so had to watch the video many times but finally got it. Merry Christmas to you all…2023

[@ashleyburks4639]

First time doing the crab stitch and I actually loved it just as much as the beautiful easy pattern and directions you gave us! Thank you so very Beautiful Soul Sigoni!!

[@HarleyQ369]

Thank you so much. That was fun. Took me a couple tries but I got it. ❤ Love the crab stitch at the top too. My first time. I just learned last year and was only making blankets until I saw how cute the baskets are. 🎉 Super cute. Thanks again

[@job5613]

First time doing crab stitch, very well explained thank you

[@jenniferthompson1875]

This was my first time doing all of it!! Making a basket and doing the crab stitch! Your tutorial was soooo good I was able to get right through it. I even kept the bottom going to make it bigger and use up my whole skein of self striping yarn. It turned out beautifully!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us 💛

[@zircon1664]

First time I have tried crab stitch and managed it fine because of your clear instruction 🎉Thank you! In fact first time I have attempted a basket also 😁

[@KingofGloryFV]

Hi, being left handed really helped me with the crab stitch. Finally a stitch that was easy. To learn! Thank you!

[@valeriehummel7596]

This was my first time making a basket and the first time at the crab stitch. Thank you for your pattern❤

[@arpitaamar8677]

Im just getting the hang of crocheting and i am falling in love! Thank you for the great teaching on here! Definitely making it a lot easier to learn different things! Much love! Keep going!

[@sharonlozano35]

Thank you. I appreciate this instead of 30 or 40 patterns coming at you and confusing you!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Absolutely! I hope you enjoy these patterns ❤️

[@Colleen-kw3lf]

this was my first time and love it ❤ .. thank you

[@carolebeck6399]

[@Stitchedbybee10]

Love the crab stitch, such a neat look. Thank you for the great, easy project. I think I will make one to put my Dirty Santa gift in for our family Christmas.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Love that idea! ❤️

[@andrewh1737]

Hi there

[@nanholcomb991]

Wow, that looks really cool. I have never seen a crab stitch before and I'll be using it for a hat I'm working on. Thanks so much!

[@wilmaleduc593]

First time doing the crab stitch! It took a few stitches to get the hang of it but it leaves nice finish! Thanks

[@SigoniMacaroni]

That's great! I'm glad you were able to catch on so quickly!

[@venitha11]

Wow beautiful n easy. I’m definitely going to try this out. First time I saw a crab stitch so I’ve learnt a new stitch. Thank you 👍👍💕🌸

[@deeplaxmigurjal2142]

Mam.nice basket and one different stitch you teach to us thanks mam I also try that stitch but difficult stitch .More practice needed.

[@celi690]

Did it today, it turned out amazing!! Great tutorial, and my first time doing crab stitch, it’s sooo nice on top of it, amazing!

[@tagqasim4668]

Wonderful thank u so much! 💓 I love the beautiful crab stitch edging, but I'm not sure if I can manage the wrist acrobatics 😊

[@chrissyjulian6704]

Yeah! Made my first basket and with the crab stitch :)

[@gunnsteffen]

Its the first time i did make crab stitch. I looks good 👌🏼😊

[@peggyharwell3674]

Thus us really cute. I will be doing the crab stitch next time. Thank you

[@leonormarrero162]

Beautiful!!! Thank you, I will try it. I hope I get it right like yours.

[@claradenev]

First time I've done it. Thank you!

[@saraherrera6917]

I love the way you explain things so clearly. I need to pick up yarn and make one of these.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Thanks Sara! I can’t wait to see yours when you make one!

[@andrewh1737]

Hi sara

[@quieroricardo]

Wow! This was the first time that I did the crab stitch and it came out so beautifully. I will have to post on Fb group. It’s a stitch that’s been on my list to learn since summer. Thank you again.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

I'm so glad you were able to complete the crab stitch! It can be pretty tricky. I'm so proud of you! Your basket looks great!

[@lisafrank5975]

This was my first ever basket, and second ever crochet project. It came out very wonky lol. I had trouble seeing exactly where my beginning was for slip stitch, so there are extra stitches. The sides were good. I feel like I followed your crab stitch explanations, but it looks nothing like it lol. But at least it straightened up the sides. I will try it again.

[@sharbear1968]

Excellent video. Watched once then working along with it this time. Easy explanation and can see your work well. This is my 4th crochet project. I’m thinking these will be great for next Christmas as gifts filled with a dish rag and scrubby.

[@janawalczuk833]

My basket (size 8 mm hook, Bernat Blanket yarn) seems floppy to me. I have completed 2 rows of scatter scblo. Should I use a smaller hook?

[@dojomojo1952]

I am looking forward to making this! I need to get some bulky yarn tomorrow. Thanks for all your easy to follow tutorials

[@SigoniMacaroni]

You're so welcome! ❤️

[@anjamkiyani2702]

Love this video and also, the text on the screen, for each step.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Thank you! I'm so glad you found it helpful

[@catherinefraser7679]

Thanks for your tutorial, it worked very well and the crab stitch was fairly easy but not as tidy as yours!

[@wendysulphur]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've just finished my first basket!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yay! That's awesome!

[@sueloss7639]

Great tutorial, easy to follow! Thank you

[@Liquidlifetravel_leisure]

Thank you for sharing beautiful basket !!!

[@spoiledwelbourn7117]

Very nice tutorial and pretty result.

[@jhyerful]

Love this but I have 1 question, each row I go around I am working from the inside of the basket, however on your ending before the crab stitch, it looks like you are stitching from the outside and going around. How did you turn it around and when? Thank you.

[@solangesouza6277]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful crochet basket tutorial ! 😊💗

[@SigoniMacaroni]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you like it!

[@mireillesmith9165]

If I wanted to make this 2 or 3 times larger, would I just multiply the numbers/stitches by 2 or 3?

[@kellyfassino7814]

I did crab stitch! First time ❤

[@lisae3663]

I’m going to make this basket and try the crab stitch. First time I’ve heard of crab stitch.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes! I love the crab stitch for any finishing border

[@jodieh107]

1st time I've crabbed 😅 pretty cool though ❤🎉

[@haileyl.3027]

this was really confusing, I tried re-doing it five times and it still wont work :(

[@threadsintapestrypodcast4230]

Thank you for this excellent video. The magic circle was a saver. Love th crab stitch. I'm onto my second basket. Question: How is it the base of my basket curves up and not flat like yours? how do I prevent that from happening? Many thanks!

[@mobork55]

my first attempt at crab stitch, it took me a few tries, but I got it!

[@SigoniMacaroni]

That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear that.

[@jackieflesner3118]

Can I use 4 ply yarn and double it to make this beautiful basket, if I don’t have thick yarn

[@SigoniMacaroni]

Yes you should be able to! I can’t guarantee that it will be the same size but you can always resize the basket to make it bigger. Inside the blog post in the “notes” section I’ve explained how you can do that. You can find the written pattern here: www.sigonimacaroni.com/small-crochet-basket-pattern-for-beginners/

[@nadnodnadia]

I only have a 5mm crochet needle and two bundles of 3.75mm yarn... can I make do with what I have and still make an ok basket? Not gifting it... just need a basket to hold knick knacks so doesn't have to look amazing... :-)

[@beautifulpetunia8279]

What a wonderful idea! ❤!

[@user-mv2ns8rm5c]

I love the pattern

[@seriouslyreal2693]

I like your pattern. What would I have to do to make one smaller?

[@lindawillis9967]

What are the finished dimensions of this basket? Linda

[@Lisaboomie]

This is fantastic !! Thank you. Can’t wait to do this.

[@SigoniMacaroni]

I’m so glad you like it! Send me photos when you’re finished if you can 😊 I would love to see!

[@Rachitnmommy]

Wow it’s amazing 😀. I m going to try this
