How to Crochet a Simple Mini Basket

[@softycadence3340]

It took trying out tons of other videos and wasting half a day to discover yours is the most beginner friendly and efficient. I knit 99% of the time and it’s a cinch but for some reason crocheting is a struggle cuz it hurts my hands and carpal tunnel becomes an issue meanwhile the frustration level goes up when you can’t see where to connect after each round but your video is by far the best to follow. All I wanted to do was make a cat bed for my friend but crocheting a basket is harder than I thought. Thank you for making your videos so easy to see and follow. Great job indeed. You deserve all the praise you got for this tutorial. Best one out there. Bless you and your lovely family ^^

[@Tomara632]

I agree, it's much harder than you think and everyone has a different approach.

[@eminabbe]

My first successful crochet. Thank you. One thing I would recommend for beginners is to put some kind of marker on first single crochet, I had a lot of trouble finding it. But awesome tutorial, Im so happy I did it.

[@katrinaboyland4981]

There should be a love button on here because I love this basket! Perfect till fill with crochet Easter eggs! Thank you for this tutorial! Blessings!

[@lholmes4171]

Such fabulous, explicit instructions. Can't thank you enough for your style. Erring on the side of repetitive or too instructional is the way to go. Very comforting :-) thanku!

That's awesome! Thank you for helping those adorable babies. I just love squirrels and so many people don't like them, I can't wrap my mind around why. Refreshing and inspiring to hear someone doing rescue! Sending positive energy your way💜💜💜

Do you include the handle when you make the baskets for little animals?

[@tamaraknapp8865]

Found this pattern first (before this video), and could not make it work . This tutorial showing how it's done is just the ticket . Thank you for an excellent video lesson!

[@barkingbaby25]

Thank you for the video. Finished my basket today. I finally understand how to make baskets now. This was so easy to understand. I see many, many little containers in my future!

[@daniellesutter7184]

I needed baskets for my room and this video helped me with cleaning and organization. Thank you!!🙂😊🙂😊

[@shuklachakraborty6273]

I cannot thank you enough for having explained so clearly and nicely. You are a perfect teacher. Thank you so much for your project. I have really understood well and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you again.

[@imiloa.]

I did it! After about a dozen unravels, this baby is done. I know that's kinda sad, but the devil is most certainly in the details and it took me that long to realize several things that were making my counts off. Thanks for the great video. Now I'm filling my basket with hair ties.

[@sophiakramer7832]

This was a great tutorial! Very easy to follow. I made this basket and now all my friends want one too :)

[@purplebutterfly3568]

I've watched a bunch of tutorials...yours is the best easiest instructions. Thankyou.

[@Dave-Booth]

Thank you for a brilliant demonstration. This was the second thing I ever crocheted after doing a dish cloth :-) .....and with your step by step teaching ....I've nearly completed it. Many thanks !!!

[@stitchingwithasmile677]

Thank you for your detailed video. Your instructions are very clear. I'm off to give this a try! Nina

[@TheMom2braydon]

Got some peaches and creme tonight! Excited to try this tomorrow using your tutorial. I love the way you teach...and we hold the hook and YO exactly the same way so its very easy for me to follow! Please keep doing tutorials!! You rock!!!

[@ZebraKitten]

Have just made a shallow basket minus handles with 4 strands of yarn held together and a 12mm hook and it makes a perfect little basket for my amigurumi owls. Great, easy to follow tutorial. Definitely be making more baskets!

[@rosamatias6559]

Thank you for your basket tutorial! Excellent way of showing and explaining! Loved crochetting this project. I attended another tutorial, but was a disaster. I couldn't see the stitches well enough to follow and she commited many mistakes herself. I was so frustrated because the basket seemed very easy to do... Many blessings to you! What a great inspiration you are! I am making them gor my daughters and grands!

[@claudette4113]

Thanks for that excellent tutorial. I just made my first little basket.

Hello, thank you for this video. Can you use the same pattern adding more rows going around and building the sides up to make this bigger?

can you please do a video tutorial on how to crochet a babys Moses basket/crib/bassinet with a hood n carry handles plz? x

what if we want a bigger one

[@pavitraprasanna5993]

Hey hi, awesome tutorial. Incase you wish to further make the bottom bigger, you repeat the previous step, isn't it?

[@ladystorm5862]

awesome video

[@ladyvanposh]

What should I do if I wanted to make the basket bigger? Thanks

[@marilynminder3957]

If you want to make larger basket, what are the increases needed

Can you make these a lot larger than they are ? X

thank you very nice

[@sharz8960]

Thankyou

[@tamerapatenaude7450]

What would happen if a 5.5 mm crochet hook is used?

[@YARNutopia]

The basket would turn out to be a little bigger. ~Nadia

[@tamerapatenaude7450]

Ok, thank you so much!

[@UzmaKhan-yo2kg]

And also more yarn would b used... Am i right.... I think so

[@averymckenna2274]

Yeah. My favorite hook is my 5.75 mm. I was debating using it. I don’t think it would be as sturdy, but idk. I think I’ll just use my 4.25.

[@lindielee6322]

Wonder if this could be made into a skull cap?

[@averymckenna2274]

Does anyone know how much yarn this uses? I have about a skein left from a project I made for a friend. I really want to use it up but I don’t want to run out. Thanks!

[@lovingirl0077]

Hi! What is the stitch count for rounds 9 thru 15?

[@esthermain7437]

awesome! ^^

[@winter142]

hai, why doesnt the chain up one count as a stitch? i always count mines in, for some reason if i dont the baskets gets uneven

[@Tsjuder1349]

Would I follow the same pattern on the bottom of the basket to make the bottom bigger? Or as the bottom gets bigger would I have to increase with every next row? Thank you.

[@YARNutopia]

Tsjuder1349 If you want the basket to be bigger, just follow the pattern increase for each round until the bottom is as wide as you want it to be and then once it is wide enough, you can stop increasing and work around until it is the height you want it to be. I hope that helps! ~Nadia

[@Tsjuder1349]

Thank you very much for your reply Nadia! I guess I was overthinking the concept. Now I have to get yarn thats sturdy enough so the sides wont collapse like they kinda do on my last basket :) Thank you!

If I want to sell this basket, how I can calculate the price?

[@elyzaerichlerio7078]

[@nothinglikethesunfnv5951]

The written pattern says - "Round 8: sc around in inner loops"...Should this not be the 'outer loops', as instructed in your video?

[@AN-tp4rs]

I give up. Can’t keep track of stitch numbers

[@cathyprusinski2420]

My basket turned out uneven on top. HELP!

[@UzmaKhan-yo2kg]

U used one skien of how much weight

[@YARNutopia]

This was a worsted weight size 4 yarn, so you could use any worsted weight yarn, DK yarn or aran yarn. Enjoy! ~Nadia

[@TaylorandSelenalover]

Mine didnt end up with the shape of a basket :o just a flat piece slightly raised at the side

[@glmiller1818]

This is my problem as well. What did I do wrong?

[@carolynjordan37]

Hellow , My name is Carolyn, can you please make lid for this project.Tank you for sharing this project with us.

[@singlecrochet6999]

To make a lid I guess you could make the base of this larger, and do the sides shorter? So it will be like a mini version of this, but use it as a lid? Hope that makes sense ☺️
