I am still working on this project this week. next week i aim to have a video on how to do the lid part of the basket, owing to life getting in the way -.- sorry guys

[@atimmary5148]

Wow, I like the project and would like to learn. Much love from the pearl of Africa, Uganda

[@resaedwardd]

So there's no place in the US that you can buy the board

[@rachelharban542]

How many t-shirt yarn balls did you use for the whole Moses basket? Your work looks amazing 😍 Thank you

[@CreateWithWendy]

I honestly can't remember might have been 3 balls of grey one of yellow

[@shamimakhtar5826]

What size is the base please. Also is it single wooden base or doubled

[@nafeessachachia7322]

Hi Wendy, I am a novice at crochet but I am keen to make this for my grand daughter's babies (dollies). I am familiar to a point that for a blanket you have to turn the work over each time you come to the end, however I am confused in which direction you need to crochet once you get to the end of the last stitch. I have not come across a single video that specifically explains if you have to turn over the work or not or if you have to work backwards. Please, can you simplify if what you need to do each time you complete a round. Do you continuously crochet round the same direction? Thank you for your help.

@@nafeessachachia7322 i worked in a continuous round, as wastcoat stitch is near impossible to do backwards, but at the end slip stitch to the last stitch to even it out hope this helps

[@nafeessachachia7322]

@@CreateWithWendy Thank you Wendy, this does help a lot. Has become more clearer and maybe less challenging.

[@marybelmonte8093]

what size is the base?

[@stephaniebadger79]

Do you get the yarn to flatten out? I was trying to make a basket with this exact yarn and it was not wide enough and couldn’t get it to flatten out so they were gaps in between the stitches

[@CreateWithWendy]

I just used the yarn as at came, still roles up, no flattering, just as is, hook size can alter everything though and tention

[@thatonegirlthatcanneversleep]

I would size up your hook a few sizes and see how that does.

[@paolapaola600]

Che altezza per finire il lavoro e che numero uncinetto? Grazie bel lavoro

[@sfreedom2007]

The bases are very pricey, and how do you make a profit

[@CreateWithWendy]

@@sfreedom2007 I don't it was a personal project 😁 the cost of the materials no one would buy it pluss the time

[@mrsadnanmaghraby9249]

Lovely to watch thank you. The first row is crotchet wrestling😉

[@allisonclement9486]

How many holes are in your base?

[@CreateWithWendy]

@@allisonclement9486 honestly I didn't count

[@2singstars]

Do you need to coat the wooden base with anything so it’s waterproof?

[@CreateWithWendy]

Not waterproof could do with coating, but cannnjust add waterproof mattress on it with sides

[@zoe0411]

What are the care instructions can it be washed cause babies can be messy

[@CreateWithWendy]

While clean, and follow instructions on yarn, you can always line the inside something that can be taken out ☺️

[@karenmoran-x9x]

where is the best place to buy the yarn?

[@CreateWithWendy]

I got this yarn from the wool warehouse, but do an online search for t-shirt yarn, and find what the better buy is

[@easyknittingcrochet4394]

Nice tutorial 👌 👍

[@tasminwing8304]

How much is the base x

[@CreateWithWendy]

The website is in the description depending on the size you want I don't sell them, it's another company that does wood work

[@meganwilson902]

Which size hook did you use?

[@CreateWithWendy]

8 I believe or 8.5, but it felt right I could have done with a 10

[@francesholder4343]

Question: How many hours did it take to make your basket? Anyone?

[@CreateWithWendy]

As I didn't sit there and do it full out, I can't answer you I'm afraid. This was a pick up put down project owing to real life situations

[@Marnitaward]
