So appreciate your time with the tutorial and sharing the pattern. What a thoughtful person you are. I am going to use clothes line rope with your pattern! Wish me luck on this endeavor. The colors of your basket are my favorites along with a sand light tone. Great tutorial and positioning of your work for ease in understanding the placements for me.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Now...about this clothes line rope...I've never heard of anyone trying to crochet with clothesline rope. Isn't it too thick? I'm dying to hear how this works out for you. I love a sand tone as well. I'm working on a new crochet top design that uses a very subtle, light grayish/sandyish variegated yarn. Thank you for watching anc commenting.

Couldn’t have said it better. What size basket does this make? I just found a small table that looks like it is missing a drawer & naturally I can’t find one the size it needs so I thought I might attempt to crochet one since I know how to crochet. The size I’m needing to make is 14x8x3” 🤦🏻♀️

I found in doing this basket you need to use chunky weight yarn. I used Bernat Blanket chunky weight # 6 I also used 2 strands of yarn. Mabe mine bigger & it's not collapsing. Hope this helps!
@CrazyCoolCrochet Жыл бұрын
Thank you for that. However, this does call for a #6 super bulky so it does not collapse.

If I wanted the rectangle base of the basket to be more squat (say an 8” x 12” rectangle) how many stitches would you recommend I start with in the initial chain? Chain 35 seems to make a much longer/skinnier basket, and I want mine much closer to a square shape.

@CrazyCoolCrochet4 жыл бұрын
You can try a #5 but it won't hold it's shape. It already is not quite stiff enough with a #6. If you try doubling up on the #5 it might be too hard to work with, but I might try that (and a larger hook). Of course that will require double the amount of yarn. Thank you for watching!

My first question of course has to be...did you use a #6 yarn? Yes, this will collapse on itself when it's empty. The point of it is to fill with "stuff". LOL. It will absolutely hold up once you place things in it.

Would this be big enough for a Moses basket or would the bottom fall down
@CrazyCoolCrochet2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the question. This is not big enough for a Moses basket. The dimensions are in the description area below the video: 5.5 inches high, 16 inches long, 6 inches wide. You can make the bottom wider and then adjust the rest of the pattern to fit. You might want to use a stronger yarn as well. This will cave in if it's too big.

Once you fill the basket it's fine and holds its shape well. If you want to keep it empty you might need to try a #6 yarn that is not so soft. You can also try #5 yarn and double it up; use two strands for the entire project. Thank you for your comment!
