How To Crochet A Gift Basket For The Absolute Beginner

[@JudyRichards-u4o]

I'm 72 and I've been crocheting since my Grandma taught me as a child so I don't really need the beginner pattern but you usually learn some little thing that helps. This was a very good tutorial and seems like it would be very easy to understand as a beginner. I like the simplicity of this basket and agree it will be good for gifts. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm going to start making these for Christmas now.

[@MsRecoveryroom]

Thank you for explaining so clearly and NO MUSIC.

[@patfountain11]

I agree! Thank goodness, no music!!

You said it!

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

This is excellent as a gift basket! Reusable too. And if i can make a bigger one, will try doing one as a kitty bed. Thanks!

[@kpi43]

I did three strands of cotton yarn for a chunkier basket, and it turned out really cute 🥰!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I love that!! Great idea!! 😊❤️🧶

[@serapugurlugil9214]

❤❤❤ I made lots of baskets using them at home some deep some shallow. Using twine rope or ordinary yarn but when I use yarn I crochet it with a plastic cloth rope for my baskets to be sturdy to keep their shape.. I have never tried using just yarn ❤❤❤ but will try now ❤❤ THANK YOU

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I found the fold over helps a lot with keeping the structure. 😊🧶❤️

Thank you for this tutorial! I am in the process of making a mini food basket(s) to give to one of my friends having a baby this year and this is a perfect way to give them a little storage for the food and something to play with elsewhere! Thank you oh so much! Will be making a few to have multiple storage places.

Love the basket, not sure I like the glueing part. I love the fabric glue in cross-stitch but would rather leave a little extra thread and weave in the ends when I’m crocheting or knitting , just my opinion. Thanks for the video.😄

Thank you I crocheted the basket you crocheted and I thought I was doing it wrong

Nope, you got this. Some yarns work up stiffer than others but I think in general this is a softer basket that works best when full. Let me know if you try the stiffener and how it works for you. 😊❤️🧶

[@meenha1976]

I always wanted to make baskets for my cats. I prefer knitting to crocheting, although I have really advanced myself in knitting & a bit in crocheting, but not at the same level. I always struggle with the magic ring, counting rows, sometimes end up with more stitches on the next row or less. I still struggle with the first hole that I'm supposed to go in for that first sc, dc, hdc or tcr. But your video made a lot of sense today with the counting of the rows & where to put the hook after turning the corner. I'm already subscribed, but instead of waiting for new videos, I should also look at the older ones, I'm pretty sure I will pick up a lot. THANKS :)))

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I love the way knitting looks! It is just beautiful. But I never really got the knack for it. I am so so glad that my instructions in my tutorials has helped things make a bit more sense. I can really see how crochet could look overly complicated but it's actually so simple and I just want to show people why I think so. 😊🧡🧶

[@dianesilva2966]

Love this tutorial! What do I do on the 4 corners on rows 2-17 to get it to look like your basket?

Thanks for the great ideas

[@thalassophile1665]

Mine doesn’t really stand, I’m going to test different yarn/needle combos.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I thought the folding over the top really helped give the basket structure. The tighter the stitches the better the structure will be. So playing with yarn and needles may help. 😊

[@lovestocrochet3110]

Oh my!! I'm visualizing it filled with baby items for a baby shower. Do you think it would still stand nice if I doubled the size in length and width?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I think it would be fine especially if you filled it 😁❤️🧶

[@amyjorgenson4805]

Can you use any type of yarn. I have a lot of different color of yarn I bought from someone some dont have a label on them so I don't know what kind it is or weight.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Great question! You can absolutely use whatever size yarn you want to make this basket. Just keep in mind that the thicker or thinner the yarn will effect the size of the basket if you are following MY directions. Feel free to adjust the number of stitches and rows you make to create the basket size you want. As for the type of yarn fiber you use, I chose 100% cotton yarn for it's structure and denseness. If you make this basket with acrylic yarn or wool yarn you will notice the structure is not as dense. But it is up to you if that is important or not. 😊🧶❤️

[@sayammalik2934]

So sweet 🎂🎂🎂 of you

[@lindabell1958]

I love the basket but when I made it it was very slouchy. Sides did not want to keep shape. I also made a smaller one still had same issue what can u put in them to keep shape . Mine did not look as nice as yours .

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hmm, I'm sorry that the sides were slouchy. It could be a couple of different reasons for the slouchy such as the yarn used or the tension of the stitches. You could try using a Bulkier yarn to tighten your stitches to help keep form.

How many skeins of yarn does this protect take of Sugar n Cream yarn?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Paula! I used about a skein and a half of the peach color and then maybe a third of a skein for the brown. This would be a normal sugar’n cream skein not the Super Size. Thanks for asking. 😊❤️🧶

[@jenniferdsouza9651]

Hi Thank you so much for wonderfully explaining this, I just wanted to check if each of the 17 rows need to end with a slip stitch and start with a chain 1?

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Jennifer! I did the slip stitch to close the side rows of the basket with a chain 1 to get to the next row only to keep the rows level. I knew that I was going to make a color change for the fold over and wanted to make sure that the color change wasn't spiraled. You can absolutely work each side row continuously if you want. Totally make it your own and do your own thing! To close off the last row I would count the number of rows on each side to make sure everything is even and then slip stitch in a corner edge to close it off. Great question! Thanks for asking. 😊🧡🧶

[@jenniferdsouza9651]

@@CrochetWithTiffany Thank you so much Tiffany!!

[@jadeejohn9353]

Great tuti

[@christineabney2288]

Absolutely love this basket! What size is the peach basket your showing? Looks way bigger than 6x9.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

It may look that way because of the angle but nope. It's actually 6 inches wide and 9 inches long. You can probably stretch it a little wider. If you would like to change the size of the basket it is super easy. Change the number of chains in the foundation row to change the width and change the number of rows you make to change the length. I hope this helps! 😊💖🧶

[@christineabney2288]

Thanks Tiffany ❤ In the process of making a small rectangle version of this now 😊

[@patriciayoung9298]

I've made this before but unless you double the yarn the ends will not stand up. I use my baskets for napkin holders

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

I found that folding the side over helped to stabilize the sides. Without the fold it didn't have much structure. Double up your yarn when crocheting definitely helps the structure by making the stitches more dense. 😊💖🧶

[@judylillie7749]

For the sides, when you join with a slipstitch and chain 1, do you then do the next sc in the same one where the chain is or the next stitch? The hook kind of covers thos part of the video.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Judy! Great question. When you slip stitch and then chain 1, your very first stitch will go into the same stitch you slip stitched into. Thank you so much for asking. 😊🧶🧡

[@loreenmohr5272]

I liked this pattern. However there needs to be a way to make the sides stay up better. I think i'm going to hot glue some plastic or cardboard to the sides.

[@ViaAngeles-ve5uj]

You can slip a box into the crocheted basket and fold some of the crochet inwards over the box, like a sock, to hold the box in place. Then no need to glue, or to use much glue. The beauty of this is that we can easily customize the size.

[@kelliehart4798]

Do I need glue stiffener for my basket that I'm doing I'm following your and it doesn't seem to be going the way I want it.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Kellie! You can absolutely use a Stiffener to give your basket more solid sides. My sides were also a bit flimsy but all of the things I put inside helped keep the sides up too. Great question! Thanks for asking. 😊🧡🧶

[@paulawright1215]

I got crocheting and did more then 33 rows ( maybe 40) will it still go into the regtangle shape. I was just too far into to start over? Thank you.

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

Hi Paula! You should be fine. As long as your base is a rectangle then when you crochet around it will keep shape. 😊
