Crochet Wildlife Nest/Yarn Basket/Pet Bed Tutorial

[@hypojo]

This pattern was exactly what I needed... thank you so much, I love my pet bed!!!

[@martina53tt]

I bought some yarn, in the sale, today, I have done 3 rows, it looks great, thank you for your explanation, it works well

[@ellafaith8760]

This is one of the prettiest baskets I have seen! These colors work so well together. :) I enjoyed seeing the versatility of it: pet bed, basket, etc.

[@imiloa.]

Great tutorial; I used gray and cream. I did, however, end up with a HUGE basket that I turned into a large pet bed. It wouldn't create a wall, the circle just kept getting bigger and bigger. I remembered then about a detail in a mini basket I had just made - in order to create the walls, she stopped increasing and then crocheted into just one side of the stitch. It then began to turn up immediately and I had walls. I added four handles (yes, it is that big) and it looks fetching.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Your basket sounds wonderful, so great that you can also use it as a pet bed, yes you do need to stop increasing when you have the base the size you want

I love the sound of yarn in ur videos

[@tonihovatter7764]

Me too! I notice it when I work with my own yarn; and sometimes it's I don't know...comforting....I guess :p

[@ellafaith8760]

Yes, I agree! I find the sound of yarn on hook as stitches are worked very soothing and relaxing. :)

[@pinktinkerbutton]

This is great for storing extra guest towels for the bathroom! Thanks!!

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

My cats would steal it before I was half done with it...lol!😂 But love it!

Love the crab stitch! Your basket is beautiful! I live crocheting these and make them in all sizes; for storage, pet beds, shorter for dresser valets and for wildlife rescue. great project for scrap yarn. Love your video tutorials! you are a favorite as you are so detailed.

[@gemmaludvigh8108]

Nice extension of the pet bed Clare! I don't have a pet so wasn't going to try the pet bed but I'll have a crack at this basket though! Thanks again xox

[@lynnesews9725]

OMG some people are so bent on finding something that doesn’t seem to be their idea of perfection. 🙄Noise from a crochet hook, are you kidding me! Not worth a second thought.

Hi Clare! I have been making my own Yarn Basket using this pattern today. Just wanted to let you know on the printed version of the pattern, you put HDC instead of SC on no 9. Love this and it is so easy!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Whoops ! Thank you for spotting that, yes its sc all the way :)

[@trishbresolin8212]

Pretty colors

[@sonyagower1720]

Used yours for an inspiration.. I did hdc with Paracord and Redheart (redheart going around the paracord) I'm using Tuttifruity(i think thats the name) and Black)

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Sonya Gower thank you for your comment, thank you for watching, your basket sounds so great ! I love the idea of crocheting around the paracord

[@sonyagower1720]

@@CrochetwithClare It has made it pretty sturdy

[@patriciaarelymatos9698]

hello thank you for making this video!! I'm so happy to find out we have the exact Same kind of crochet hooks!!! and I almost always buy red heart brand yarn!!! I plan on making this for the rest of the yarn I have since I have too much yarn hehehe

[@patriciaarelymatos9698]

I have not yet decided what color but I might start with the colors I like the least along with all my scrap yarn balls and go from there..

[@RaechelleJ]

I like that basket make one for my yarn thank you

[@yasminmama6748]

so cute

[@bhupinderkaur1249]

Nice perfect way to teach very clearly

[@ashley35242]

I wish I had found this before I had my not circular blob I just decided to keep doing it to get more familiar with using the crochet hook but not that I have my ovualar shape I'm trying to find how to go up I my basket so can you tell me if it should be able to work with your even thought mine itsnt round and I just kinda did alot of single crichets and even a double crochet twice from boredom

[@CrochetwithClare]

it should be round and should be eventually climbing up. if you are working just one stitch in each stitch it should work

[@susufromiraq223]

very beautiful

[@Loubur52]

Beautiful

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Francine Potvin thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

[@kristinmcnally7215]

Hello Missus. I hope all is well. I'm writing to ask if you would make a video for a fruit basket that can store on a table or counter, or how many rounds I should make with this basket to make it medium size? I desperately need one. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Kris. I wish you peace, love, happiness, and well being.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, you can use this tutorial and keep increasing until you are about 1/2 inch short of the width you want you bowl then continue with the side, thank you for watching

[@kristinmcnally7215]

Sounds good. Thanks.

[@bfvargas8]

Awesome thank you clare!

[@shannonlee081509]

awesome will be doing this

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you !

[@smurfie161]

great project and tips tfs x

[@ashley35242]

If single crochet is how you do the sides it's not working on mine any suggestions I'm us to if that makes a difference (notice your accent) I see it's purple I think it may be your phone if that's where your looking since notice Samsung does blue and purple better. That is huge I love it

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi, i use american crochet terms. if your sides are not working up or moving up like sides you could be adding too many stitches instead of just adding one stitch in each stitch. if you are just working one stitch then the sides should start to climb up after a while. it will look wonky for a bit though.

[@carolchidlow4798]

Are these sturdy enough to put it on its side, stack them and use to store yarn that way?

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Carol Chidlow thank you for your comment, no because it is crocheted and it has soft sides. If the baskets were super full they may stack, but it will not be very sturdy

[@SharnFranghiadi]

After looking through KZbin I decided to use this as my first ever crochet project because it looks really functional for future projects (here's hoping!) with clear instructions. Took me a while to get going but I'm now on my 15th round and loving it. I've had a problem with flouncing, which I see you've answered already, but could you explain more about why this happens? I'm presuming it's a tension issue? My 15th round measures 13cm from centre to edge, with lots of flounce from about halfway out from the centre. Do I really have to rip it back that much and how can I avoid it going forward. Thanks.

[@CrochetwithClare]

hello, yes the curling could be caused by the tension of your crocheting or could also just be that it is a project in double strand, that will also cause it to curl. if it is just a little or small curl it is easy to flatten out and will sit just fine. you can try to loosen your tension a little also and see if that helps. as long as you are alternating your increase rounds and plain rounds your basket should be fine. If it is really bad then i would suggest that you rip out a few rounds and redo them with a looser tension.

[@jeannakelly4174]

Hi love the basket I know understand increasing in the round much better. One quick question your just sc all around after increasing I made a small paper clip cup and pencil bag that starts the same as your basket but builds up sides by going in blo . Would that work for this project? Thank you so much

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes you could make the basket by working into the back loops only. the only thing about using the back loops for big projects like this is that they are not as stable as using both loops and will stretch a lot with wear and weight

[@jeannakelly4174]

Oh ok i see what you mean thank you so much. I didn't think about that . thanks for answering my question

[@darkb4light06]

Would this work if you did a chain up rather than just keep going when beginning a new round?

[@CrochetwithClare]

hello, yes you could join after every round if you like. the continuous rounds of this project just make it so there is no join line. the basket would work either way though,

[@darkb4light06]

bobwilson123 Thank you.! :)

[@sueb-t2183]

mine has a huge ruffle before I start doing my sides, not sure if I should start again.

[@CrochetwithClare]

I am so sorry for the reply slow reply, I have been swamped in work and only just getting to comments If it is ruffling I would pull out 2 or 3 rounds and then add a round or 2 of no increases. I hope this helps and sorry again for the slow reply

[@melodymaben5917]

can this be done in 6 super bulky ?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes, you will need less rounds that I did and it will work up super fast YAY

[@melodymaben5917]

Thank-You

[@tiffanymonson9270]

Ok, I am so unbelievably cornfused here...this is my first time making a basket and using more than one string. I am on row 2 and I have slowed down the video as much as I can go to see if you are putting your hook through 2 loops (1 stitch), or 4 loops? I am having a lot of trouble getting my hook through 4 loops in row 2. so I'm hoping that I am doing it wrong and only supposed to be putting my hook through the front 2 loops of the single crochet LOL!

[@CrochetwithClare]

you are putting you hook into all the loops (so one stitch) you will not being using front or back loops at all. until you have the base the size you want just keep increasing. when it is the size you want then you will just being adding one single crochet in each stitch

[@Queenmom313]

Thank you for your video! : )

[@zebnuri7517]

Lovely tutorial. Will start one soon for my pet or to stash my yarn. Thanks!

[@michellevansandt8707]

If my bottom doesn't want to lay flat is it my tension is too tight

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello, it could be a combo of things :) hook too big for yarn, loose tension I do not think it would be because it is too tight If it is starting to ruffle bad, take out the last increase round and add a round or a few rounds of just 1 stitch in each and no increasing Hope this helps you

[@sihameltawil4244]

Thank you 😊

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are welcome

[@babemeful]

is there anyway to make the basket taller ????

[@CrochetwithClare]

yes you can make it taller by just adding extra plain rounds. once it is the height you want it to be you just stop the rounds and fasten off
