Easy Crochet Hanging Basket - Medium

[@kathytuttle2195]

Thank you Crystal for continually reminding that the chain 3 doesn’t count as a stitch ! When I was a beginner that was something that always messed me up !! Perfect explanations of what you were doing ! Your videos are easy to see and follow!

[@ClubCrafteria]

Beautiful basket. Easy to follow the method of doing them. Lovely share

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Thank you for saying that 😁

[@rosemarymelanson5814]

I am going to use it as a cat cave, too!❤

[@CrochetWithJulie]

I love that!

[@nancyphu833]

Thank you for this easy to follow wonderful and straightforward video!

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your encouragement!

[@Leelongostyle]

I find the Susan Bates hooks so much easier to use.

[@CrochetWithJulie]

@@Leelongostyle I have heard they are more comfortable too; is that true for you?

[@Leelongostyle]

@ so much easier, but I mostly do single or double crochet blankets.

[@valentinakostenko881]

Would love to see a tutorial in a larger size, this would make a great hidey hole for a kitten!

[@CrochetWithJulie]

I promised another viewer that I would make a large one for my dog, and I did start it, got half-way through, and then I put it down and didn't pick it back up. I am going to try to finish it, because there is definitely some interest in a larger basket! Happy crocheting!

[@nital1665]

Can we see a tutorial for a bigger sizes please?

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Sure. What size diameter are you looking for?

[@heidihinsdale7114]

I'm not sure, I have a large cat maybe 14 inches or a little bigger

[@brittanykamalie1075]

I think im gona make this but use it as a cat cave

[@daniellegandee3404]

How would I make it bigger for use asa cat hammock?

[@SassyDragon_s]

​@daniellegandee3404 You can make more rows and make more increases Example: One the first row you do a increase (2 single crochets into one stitch) in every stitch,on the second row you do 1 single crochet,increase,on the third you do 2 single crochet and 1 increase (and then you can make it as big as you want)

[@huntermillard6400]

I’m doing the same lol

[@aubreystaley659]

this is so good I understand it really well👍😋

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and I am really happy to hear that it worked for you!!!

[@catherinekostecki5740]

Love your teaching!😡

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy Crocheting!

[@amandaanne8589]

For some reason i have trouble with the 42 row

[@kaeleron]

Hi Do you happen to know how to make a large? Our Cats are really big. Thank you so much for your time and help! Jan

[@CrochetWithJulie]

I love this idea so much that I am currently working on a tutorial video for it! I am going to give you a head start on it: I am going to start with this precursor video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e37PZ5-FfriMbsk This way you can customize the pet paradise to your desired size! For me, I am going to place a round bed (we have a small dog) and crochet the flat round circle to that size, then I am going to switch to placing 1 SC in each st in the row for as many rows as I placed for the initial flat circle. Then, I am going to decrease back down. I am currently working on the patterns for different size circles, and I can easily share them with you if you decide to give it a try! Once I create the tutorial, I am going to try to remember to reply and let you know that I have uploaded it. My goal is to get it posted on 7/30, but I rarely meet my crochet goals. Thank you so much for this idea and taking the time to comment! Happy crocheting!

[@kaeleron]

Thank you so much! I love how clear all your directions are! No matter how much you crochet you have some.easier ways to crochet. Thank you so very much for your time and help!

[@erin-fi7wj]

@@CrochetWithJulie did u end up posting a tutorial for it? 👀

[@CrochetWithJulie]

@@erin-fi7wj no I didn’t, but I am halfway through filming and crocheting it! I can write out the pattern here if you’re interested!

[@erin-fi7wj]

@@CrochetWithJulie if possible, i would really appreciate it!! :)

[@CatherineVermeiren]

Thx. How do I have to count if I want to make a large basket.

[@123fbshz]

Very nice and easy to follow, thank you!! I hope that cat I make this for likes it haha xD ❤

[@michaeljacob9381]

Great Video, Thx!!

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@serenavenezia9431]

Hey can I ask what the dimensions are of this finished basket? Thsnk you:)

[@heidihinsdale7114]

How would I make this bigger as a cat pod

[@claudiasantana754]

The pattern is 1 double and 2 singles. increases in each row 1 simple. Row number 10 is 1 double and 8 singles. If you want it larger, you must continue increasing 1 single in each row until it is the desired size and continue in the video with row number 10, which are all singles. 

[@claudiasantana754]

It worked for me

[@erin-fi7wj]

do you happen to know the measurements? wanted to make sure it'd fit a cat!

[@CrochetWithJulie]

I don’t have the exact measurements (I am currently on the road), but it is roughly 10-12 inches in diameter at its widest, so I would be surprised if it would fit a cat, but I saw that you replied to the comment about making one of these to fit a cat or dog, so I am going to write out the pattern here for you: 1. Follow the concept of this video, working with any 3 strands of yarn at once, but follow this video to create a large circle using SC stitches (crochet this to any size that you would like, but see notes below for this): How to Crochet a Continuous Loop Circle Using SC st kzbin.info/www/bejne/e37PZ5-FfriMbsk 2. Once you have the base, count the number of rows you currently have. Place that same number of rows, placing 1 SC in each st in each row (so if your base has 10 rows, so should this section). 3. The decreasing pattern will simply be the reverse of the increasing pattern. If you would like me to write it out for you, I will happily do that, but I would need to know the number of rows in your base and the number of SC stitches in your latest row.

[@signheart7520]

I wanted yo make it for a cat as well, thank you.

[@Isabellemoria]

Do you think this would be strong enough to hold 13 pounds of cat? Or should I attach a second strap?

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Hum. If it were me, I would consider a wooden handle and crochet over it for the strap, mostly because I could see a cat scratching it, maybe?

[@ShyL4l4]

The pattern for row no. 5 , makes me confused (I'm a beginner,maybe it's the reason) . U said in the first 2 stitches 1 single croshet ok 👍 then u said in the 3rd stitch a double single croshet ,BUT and now the confusion, then u skipped the 4 and said on the 5th a single croshet. So did I understood smth wrong or did u skipped the 4th stitch ?

[@ShyL4l4]

Ok got it, u just skipped 4 . Ur fingers told me ... hahaha u showed on the 4th but said 5th . except for the error it was a very good tutorial, I'm a beginner and just slowed the video on 0.75 down and it helped me a lot. Ty sm I did it for my rats ♡

[@CrochetWithJulie]

Yes! Thank you for pointing this out! It was rough going back and listening to how fast I was talking back then!!! I have since slowed down, but I am glad you were able to slow down the video! There is an easier way to create a flat circle using the SC st, but the issue I have is that it doesn't create a circle shape, but more of a hexagon (I have a tutorial for creating a flat SC here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2rFkniIZ7uZfcU). So, normally the increasing rows wouldn't be this confusing! I hope you are still crocheting and enjoying it!

[@seaturtlepoppy7679]

Is it increased like this because it’s three strands of yarn or is it simply the pattern? (Still new so I’m curious.)

[@CrochetWithJulie]

It is increased super funky because it creates little points where it increases if you increase normally. That being said, you can increase and decrease this traditionally and it won’t look too different.

[@seaturtlepoppy7679]

@@CrochetWithJulie - thank you 🙂

[@emilybrunelle2464]

I would love a tutorial for a snake sized one! I’d love my snake to use it as a hide!

[@pokiedot3916]

I followed this step by step but it curls upwards every time at some point and i don’t what to do about it and I don’t know if it’s supposed to do that so early on ☹️

[@CrochetWithJulie]

It’s okay if it curls upwards. It will eventually curl up a lot. Also you can flatten it with your hands a little each row and that can flatten it out.

[@kennydesroches]

not to be that person but when you mess up instructions in a video, you should probably fix them or at least leave a comment

[@CrochetWithJulie]

It would be helpful to include the mistake?

[@emmalenedresden988]

Way to quick to follow 🤦‍♀️

[@CrochetWithJulie]

You can slow down videos.
