How to Make a Coil Crochet Basket for Beginners

[@jdiana7734]

You are an excellent teacher. I would like more clarity how to increase rows in the beginning in order to create that pattern of lines.

[@patrician1188]

Thank you soooo much for the tutorial. Now I can make the bean bag Ive always wanted!

[@rkatika9]

Beautiful tutorial, thank you! A tip from someone else who was sewing a rope basket: if you tape the piping where you intend to cut it and cut in the middle of the scotch taped cord it will not fray :)

[@kaylahall1219]

Also whipping the end of the rope

You're a natural born teacher. I'm confident now to make my own basket. Thank you!

[@ruthinater4322]

I found a huge roll of this kind of piping years ago at a thrift store.. now I have a use for it!! Thanks so much!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@aliciacabrera3041]

You are just the best human! You can teach anything! That was so helpful…I love that you took it slowly and repeated the important parts. Truly inspirational and your baskets are beautiful. I can’t wait to try it…thank you for being you. What a gift to the world you are.

[@KOKO-uu7yd]

My favorite part of this? Learning the new knot!😍👍

[@londonthompson9730]

👀 The new knot is EVERYTHING 😜

[@PaulineEvanosky]

For some reason I'm having trouble with the knot. Out of 27 tries I was able to do it twice, so I'm playing that part over and over again until I can really get it! Terrific knot.

[@graftme3168]

Me too! I was thinking, "Why haven't I seen this before?" And, "Why is this hidden knot such a secret?" Now, I'm saying, "I know the secret!"

[@yliberal6355]

I really like this type basket. I like it even more that you can make it very large. This would make a nice laundry basket too.

[@XoLiveForMusicXx10]

This was one of the most interesting, enjoyable videos I have seen yet! Your pace was perfect, and. instructions were very clear. No wasted time babbling! Thank you for that! I will be attempting this project in the near future, and I LOVED your knot! First time I have seen that, and will adopt your technique!

[@GrannyReplica]

Loved this project. It's like a gateway project to a brand new way to work with and enjoy yarn. One can take this basket design in so many directions..

[@idareandevers4059]

This something new to be added to my learning to crocheting. You are a good teacher with simple in strictions🙏.

[@Marny5580]

You have a wonderful voice so it IS nice that you have NO music to interfere. I like your video a lot - and hope I can get the materials. TY very much!!!

[@jappyhoy]

Friggin amazing. I do not have the patience. Watching caused anxiety. But I love it so much. I would totally buy one to hold my yarn 🧶 I love it.

[@susannareaume6209]

Don’t know how to crochet. Your instructions seem simple. Need baskets. Thank you!!

[@gillianhinson7570]

By far the best tutorial I have found. Many thanks!!

[@DanielleM-yr4di]

Nice! I started crochet two weeks ago and I know enough to start this project. Great instructions!

[@pricetaylor93]

Awesome tutorial thank you!! My only suggestion I've found to be super helpful with most projects is to do a double magic circle. It helps with keeping that ring tight and doesnt unravel 😊

[@EyeWYT]

I am in the midst of making this now. I found her directions very easy to follow as I’ve made other baskets and rugs with this increase pattern. I searched thru all the comments looking for how much piping to use but couldn’t find any specific rule of thumb. I took a chance and bought 14 yards as that was all Joanns had in one piece. So far my basket is roughly 10” wide and I am pretty sure I’m going to run out of piping before I get a 6” high wall completed. I’m going to try to add on an additional piece of piping using both fabric glue and sewing. So I’m guesstimating I’ll use around 18 yards total (or thereabouts) of piping. I really want to try to make the huge one and bought thicker piping on Amazon (that was pricy but I’ve found especially now it hard to get a large quantity at a local store). I’m hoping thicker piping will work up quicker. I’m still unclear on how to sew in the loose ends. I did pick up some clothesline too as it looked similar to the piping. I thought why not?😂 I looked at rope but not sure how the twisted fibers would work. Maybe okay? Love the look of these baskets!!

[@EyeWYT]

Another thing I found was when I pulled the piping as I started up the wall it didn’t work right for me. Could be that I put too much tension or it may be because of the tension of my stitches but it worked way better when i continued up the walls with the same amount of slack on the piping as I had on the bottom... This approach worked better for me.

[@carolinekhamali6826]

Great talent there. Thanks for sharing. We thank God for being thorough. I enjoyed the video. God bless you for sharing.

[@swalhahussein9458]

More videos please coz ur gifted.......ur explanations are top keep up da content flowing......

[@danielle2145]

I used this tutorial to make a medium sized shorter basket with handles. It looks great. I am a beginner and this was easy to follow. Thank you!

[@amandawinsor]

How much cotton pipping did you end up using?

[@cathyleposa-petraud8054]

Great Video.... Really well explained for an absolute beginner.... Thank You❤❤❤

[@deborahamy1225]

Hello, I just found your video and am so excited because this is what I have been looking for. I am fairly new and wanted a basket to put my new supplies and yarns in, however being new I don’t know how to do a magic circle and understand when, where to put the 2 increase stitch. Yours looked so uniform and neat. I looked on your video list and didn’t see a reference to it. If there is one would you direct me to it or if not could you break it down a little further in another video. Sorry, I hope that is not a pain for you, I just am not getting it. I really love how beautiful and functional these are and it is exactly what I would like so if you would be willing I would be so very grateful!!! Thank you so much for posting and teaching me/us. God bless !😊

[@tinatucker9072]

I made this. I loved your tutorial. Thanks

[@omalila7399]

I just made my own first little basket. I'm really happy with it! Thank you so much for the amazing video. The project ist super beautiful and your explanations are great! Can't wait to make more baskets in different colors.

[@judy363905]

Wow. Great tutorial. Neat how you changed colors. Thank you so very much

[@fromkateskitchen7152]

Love that large basket you showed in the beginning. Can't wait to start one, just need the cordage. Thanks for sharing.

[@brittaniecooke3975]

Is there a written pattern? I would love one so that I know how many stitches to make where etc. I did not know you could crochet these baskets so I am incredibly excited to make these since I absolutely love them!!

[@constancehinson2473]

I'm a fan! I've watched this video a few times and needed to get more confident reading/understanding patterns to catch the increase. I wish that part was dumbed down and went slower in the video. But I got it! Thank you

[@staceerobinson9038]

I had trouble finding the increase as well. How often are we supposed to be adding the increase?

[@johnminet9067]

Hi. Thanks for that video. I am a beginer crochet. I learned during lockdown! I love you explanations they are super clear.

[@londonthompson9730]

🤚NEW SUBBIE😁 👀👀 The new knot is giving me LIFE!! 🤣🤣 You tutorial is excellent. Thank you for answering so many questions. The plan is- White Satin Twine (yarn sub) Large laundry basket Medium underwear basket Tan Jute Twine (yarn sub) 2ea kitchen/laundry area rugs TFS and the motivation ☺

[@joyceoie]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I'm making one right now and it is so beautiful! One question: what do I do if I run out of rope and need to join a new rope?

[@Me-ev4ix]

This is awesome! Thank you so. Much, I think this would be perfect to make bread proofing baskets.

[@MS-rz2ey]

Loved this video. Definitely will try it to make pot holders and badkets for my yarns.

[@alinabenartzi]

hi! I enjoyed you're video very much, and I think you explained it very well, so I really want to try doing it. thank you!

[@EllenMackler]

I am so glad I came across your video! Clear directions! Very helpful hints!!! You have inspired me.

[@magdalenamusia9227]

Hi, thank you for a great tutorial. Can you let us know how much of both yarns and cotton piping you did you use for this basket ?

[@jlynn113able]

Love your work I wanted to know how can I make the basket bigger in the middle

[@krn2487]

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! Thanks a lot!👍

[@kimmcquaid8189]

Thank you for saying that the basket will look lopsided, I have never made a basket before but I remember when I started to crochet I got upset with myself because my work didn't look like the teachers. I learned to crochet from the computer. Thank you for saying relax it will work out, just keep going.

[@touchingnature]

Fascinating technique, looks very therapeutic. I will endeavour to make a small basket for my bathroom essentials. I simply love the texture and how you can easily coordinate your colours too. Thank you so much for a superb tutorial, so clear and easy to understand for a beginner 'crocheter'. I look forward to more videos in the future, stay safe and well xxxx

[@jenniferkatz6426]

So did you make a basket and if you did how'd it turn out? If you didn't I'm not here to guilt you...I have a whole room full of intentions lol

[@jeanettewhitson6842]

I am thrilled to find this! I used to make something similar in high school with a yarn needle. This is much easier! Just a helpful hint....if you cut the beginning tail of the rope it is easier to wrap and fold down in place

[@jeanettewhitson6842]

I ment to say cut the beginning of the rope at an angle

[@sobi-mc5bl]

Thank you so much. This is so straightforward. I just ruined a basket that I bought from West Elm and I didn't want to pay to replace it. This will work even better for me!

[@looshandnugget]

Great tutorial! Seems very versatile. Thinking about varying the material, maybe? I have some sisal rope that I think would make a good filling and also wondering what would happen if you used fabric strips as the filling? Something much floppier to be sure. Maybe good for trivets or bathmats?

[@Marny5580]

I bet pieces of fabric can be cut into strips and then included throughout the outside of the basket tied like a latch hook rug. Sort of like how fringe is made at the ends or edges of knit/crocheted scarves and shawls/triangles - and when using a tri-loom.

[@janewhitzend688]

Brilliant, this really helped me iron out some problems I was having making these. Thanks great tutorial! 💚

Most beautiful basket. I will start making tomorrow.

[@kymrich9918]

Thanks for the awesome project!! Great tutorial. I'm looking forward to making some baskets. I'm trying to organize my house more and all the people making organizing videos use baskets that they buy but now I'm going to be able to make my own in exactly the right sizes and my own colours :)

[@amydavis4945]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. If I may make just a tiny bit of constructive "criticism"? I have very bad Tenitis in my ears (constant ringing). It's very hard to hear what you were saying in the beginning of the video because of the background music. It was not only hard to hear you over it (for me), but also it was very distracting. I hope you don't feel I'm being rude or ungrateful for the time and effort you put forth to produce this video... I do really appreciate your work!

[@NatalieMadeThis]

Maybe they could add closed captions to fix this issue? :)

[@californianorma876]

There are closed captions

[@sharontahir9694]

I agree, the background music was more the foreground and drowned out her voice which became the background. I think a lot of videos have this problem.

[@jodiepotter6029]

I just found your blog and this video….and I’m so excited to try this. Thank you so much !❤️

[@jeanbishop-greentree2628]

[@pamelaleasure7468]

[@theresayockim3750]

I looked up the materials you used. For the piping; how many yards for the basket featured and how many skeins of yarn? Thank you! I play video games when I should be creating! You've inspired me! My Mom and Gram were both crocheters and I did too until my teens. Would really like to try my hand at this. Thanks again! 🎉❤

[@debbiemraz2650]

I’m going to try this method to make some placemats and a rug. Ty for this wonderful tutorial

I just made my first basket, I love it!! Thank you for the clear instructions may I ask what color the yellow is that your using?

[@chiaramartinuzzi9629]

That is super cool! Working on it now, although I bought not enough "piping" material and need to make a junction! Any suggestions on how to make the bridge between the two filling ropes? I am using a thinner "pipe", synthetic material and pretty rigid.

[@LizzieMayne]

brilliant video but please can you do one on how to join the filler piping cord if you run out of cord and need to join to together. TIA

[@kimmcdonald2723]

Thanks for the tutorial. Do you happen to have one similar to this for crocheting a rectangles rope basket?

Great tutorial, but I have two questions: approximately how much piping would you need for that large bag, and how do you start new piping if you run out? I imagine a knot isn't feasible, nor weaving. I can only think it might be best to just place the ends together? Thanks!

[@cindypepper5493]

You could use a needle and thread to sew the piping ends together, or even use a good fabric glue, but I think sewing them together would hold up better, especially if you carry something heavy in the basket 🙂

[@TheSoleSpeaks]

I would just sew them together. It's so much easier to keep it seamless that way.
