Basket Crochet Tutorial - Fast Easy and Great for Beginners

[@Navy_Diva]

Omg you are the very best I have tried many tutorials but each time I failed and just couldn't understand it but this is the only one I do understand thank you so much🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@BlackCatVestie]

Ahhh! This is the best! I was able to change it up a little bit and turn it into a pet bed lol

[@jennifurmichelle]

This was fun to make & just my speed as a novice crocheter. It was perfect for my practicing HDC & slip slip stitch. I love my little basket! Thank you!!

[@pamela8975]

I've been scouring KZbin for exactly THIS! For a Christmas gift I made a bunch of puff stitch face scrubbies and needed a cute basket to keep them in. This is perfect! Thank you 😊

[@wickedlette5149]

Thank you so much for this tutorial ! You explained this very well. I’m gonna try and make this I am a beginner on crocheting. My mother passed away 4 months ago an I went into a deep depression even came close to taking my own life. But crocheting has saved me it helps relax me an it keeps my mind from wondering off where it should not go. Thank you again for making this video I can’t wait to try and make this! Hope you stay healthy and blessed !

[@janemsmith259]

Tutorial was fabulous. This is just the type of pattern I was looking for. So nice to have it so sturdy!! Thanks

[@jolie2842]

your voice is so calming and the instructions are so clear i'll be trying this out!

[@MelodyCrochet]

Thank you! I hope that you enjoy them. :)

[@MelodyCrochet]

@@wanttowatchitjoyce493 lol I hope you mean your basket doesn't look right? I never look quite right. What's going on with your basket, friend?

[@jeanne6774]

Thanks for your clear instructions and repeating it a few times ! Really good !

[@madisondaniels7381]

Love this!! I wanted a small basket to throw my yarn scraps in and this was perfect. I added a row of double crochet and topped it of with a row of single crochet to create a change in texture and some open space and I loveeee it!! Thank you 🤍

[@bethk1312]

I want to learn to crochet well enough to make huge baskets. I really love yarn!

[@jodeecross8105]

I just found you in searching to make easy baskets. I watched and made one while stopping and starting your video. Amazing I love how it turned out. Your instructions are wonderful thank you so much! I will be watching more of you.

[@MelodyCrochet]

That’s so nice of you to say! Thank you. And I love that basket, too.

[@epe746]

Thank you Melody. I made mine a little big bigger than yours, and multi-color. It came out very pretty! I'm going to use it to hold my pill and vitamin bottles, all in one place. (Clue that I'm a senior already, haha) 🙂 The little one could be used to hold the bathroom disposable cups, which I've seen disappear from my supermarket shelves, but I still get the plastic ones at Target. Another possible use would be to put your socks inside a dresser. Or on the outside of a planter. So many uses!!! 🙂🙂

[@celia6564]

Thank you so much! I've always wanted to make a basket but thought it beyond my basic skill level until now. Appreciate your patience in explaining the steps and going slow with the actual crocheting. I completed the bowl and I'm so excited.

[@MelodyCrochet]

I get a lot of flack for “talking too much” in my videos. I really appreciate the validation. (((Hugs))) and I hope you like your basket!

[@jennypedlow7906]

Brilliant. Think ill make my kids ( kitten's) a bed to fit 2 in. Woohoo . Thankyou 💖

[@MelodyCrochet]

Jenny. If you do, I need to see it. I wonder if my cat would stay in one. What a wonderful idea!

[@phoenixhocking4247]

I do like this, and plan to make a few baskets. I had an idea. You know all those old CDs you've got hanging around the house? I think I'll put one of those CDs in the bottom of the basket, and crochet a second bottom to put over top of it. Should make the basket nice and sturdy. What do you think?

[@julies5515]

I have some left over yarn and crochet block. I just finished a large afgan. I'm thinking about giving baskets a try. I will use your tutorial. It would be a good stash buster project.

[@ShlimeReviews]

Thanks for this helpful tutorial!! I just got done making a basket for my boyfriend as a surprise for our 9 year anniversary next month :) this is such a sturdy basket and this was easy to accomplish!! I can’t wait to show him! Thank you again!! :)

9yrs your not married yet sheesh

[@sher5205]

Please don't use a dark yarn bc it's too difficult to see clearly.

[@vickenator]

I think the dark yarn could work fine but would need brighter backlighting behind the crocheter so it brightens the stitches a bit.

[@rohinijoshi9881]

I totally agree

[@gallowaystargazer5266]

I agree also, especially for a beginner, very difficult to see where the hook needs to be.

[@jasonwalters2292]

@@gallowaystargazer5266yes I have started it yesterday but since it is so dark I can not see like anything she is doing.

[@yunisihombing7817]

Thank you so much for this tutorial.. you made it so easy to follow, especially for a beginner like me...thank you.. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dianalynngarms5820]

I love yarn and this would be great made from the outdoor yarn and used for a potted plant pot cover!

[@yojo7015]

How adorable........those lil baskets are 2 cute! Thanks for this tutorial! I can’t wait to make some. Thanks Melody!😆👏🏽🧶

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

I have so much tee shirt yarn that I bought way back intending to use it for baskets and boy, do I need lots of big baskets to get my organization on!!! I LOVE YARN!!!! Thanks for this!

[@SamE377]

If you use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch for each row it helps soooo much. I’m very impressed that you don’t need to. I always lose count. 🤗

[@pearlcook597]

I liked this video cause I needed to have bowls for my yarn and hooks. Thank you.

[@EvieO1950]

Cute and handy! Thanks for the tutorial. 💕🧶💕

[@MelodyCrochet]

You are so welcome!

[@nicolerobinson3306]

Thankyou!!! I was able to do the magic circle I thought I was able to do it before with another video but didn't turn out right but thanks to your video I was able to. Your first step reminds me of doing the flower projects so it came easy to me thank you again!!!

[@marycarter3835]

Thank you sooo much .Brilliant tutorial especially when mine comes out same as yours .😀

[@ashleysantos5233]

Ive watched so many videos and I finally understand this pattern thank you!, but i also have a question how many rows should i have coming upwards? I currently have 7 in total including the row were you curve but im not sure if that row is included with it coming upwards

[@isabelcastillo7355]

Perfect little baskets! I made some for my niece to store baby Qtips! Thank you!

Thanks for the great tutorial

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

Very cute!

Thank you! 😊

[@ruthlarabee7422]

After you do the blo round do you do 7 or 9 more rounds?

[@deedeeodonnell696]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much! 🐰🐰

[@MelodyCrochet]

You are so welcome!

[@bonitahyer2780]

Your instructions are great-I am going to attempt to make it. Could this be done with single crochets?

[@MelodyCrochet]

You could always try! Let me know how it goes. :)

[@bonitahyer2780]

@@MelodyCrochet how do you know when to do the “threw the one loop” where it would fold over nicely for you? I was off and it was lopsided 😩 going to try again though! Thanks for your help

[@MelodyCrochet]

@@bonitahyer2780 Oh no! did your next attempt feel better? I think a lopsided basket is fine. If you only knew how many bad attempts I have before my final patterns.

[@Kit-np7gv]

Thank you for the great tutorial!!

[@ashleysantos5233]

Yeah so basically i have 6 rows going up not including the one that makes it curve the fitst half to one should i make another row maiking it 7 not including the curving half row?

[@melodymaben4207]

What is used to stiffin it to stand ??

[@cristinaguarino3367]

do you have a pattern for this? I'm super new (this is my second-ever attempt at crocheting something, first attempt at anything other than a blanket!) and I'd like to see what a pattern for something like this would look like. Thanks! :)

[@gatorkitty76]

How do you make the smaller one?

[@kimhaneulnim243]

i don't know why I'm doing wrong. but I'm just following what u are doing hahaha

[@janelynch7150]

Hi, just to clarify after the front loop only row, do you do 6 more rows of half double crochet in each V and do 1 row of back loop only then 7 more rows of half double crochet in each V? Also, Do you slip stitch and chain one at the end of each row? The video seems to skip a couple of steps. The back loop row and how to finish the row after the front loop row only. But other than that so far so good.

[@ashleysantos5233]

Yeah so we do one more stitch for the part where it makes it more strong because i have one half double crochet ( the first one making it curve) and then the 6 other rows and so in total 7 including the first one making it curve ?

[@newleapsacademy9850]

easy pattern, I will make them larger for bathroom essentials..thanks

[@MelodyCrochet]

Amazing Idea! I might have to do the same. I am working on some hanging baskets and plant hangers this weekend and I never considered putting them in the bathroom, too. Thank you!

[@janemsmith259]

is there a pattern that I can print off for this tutorial?

[@lorihymowitz7414]

I made a big one to put my candy in & now I'm going to make a small one to put my hooks in

[@spiderdutch]

CAN I use a 5.0 hook

[@MelodyCrochet]

Sure! Just keep going until the beginning circle is the size that you want your basket to be. Let me know how it turns out. :)

[@spiderdutch]

Thank you soo much. Am on it

[@kimberlyscott5876]

Do you have a printed version of this pattern?

[@preciousjemir8796]

Thanks 😁😁

[@juliebrown1510]

I'm lost I'm going to find another video.

[@tildenystromkristensen927]

I forgot to do the first back row stitch but I've already redone it 5 times and I'm almost done, does anyone have a tip on how to fix it?

[@judevucovich7068]

Have you thought to do a video to teach children? You would be good at it. Just use a light color so you can see the stitches. I like to count my stitches with each row’s increase and place a marker in the double stitches. I mark my circle before I start my row so I know where to put the double stitch to keep track. I learn this while making this. I to am using a dark color yarn. Thank you for sharing you basket tutorial.

[@becky5857]

Is this pattern written anywhere?

[@sweetnsassy4329]

Good video but difficult to see what you are doing because of the dark color of the thread.

[@juliabirchmeier6797]

I keep redoing it over and over and instead of 45 stitches I end up with 42 all the time. Any advice? Thank you ☺️

[@scotland7103]

is that 5ply or 8ply

[@melodymaben4207]

4 ply

[@melodymaben4207]

It's hard to see with the dark yarn

[@marygking]

Sewing it together is a bit tricky

[@Xyughn]

I got confused and lost about when I will turn my work inside out :

[@cAnimeAi]

yo what's the pattern link

[@colorwithpriscilla6047]

I wish could that

Better lighting and a lighter color of yarn would have improved your video. Otherwise it’s good.

[@twilaaffolder2610]

Too much background noise and too wordy on other content.
