[@juliebetzel4528]

Love these baskets!!! Thank you thank you thank you for breaking down instructions for the small, medium and large separately in the pattern. I'll be making a ton of these for Christmas gifts!!!

[@SweetSofties]

So glad you like these!!

[@Randomness-bt2yc]

this tutorial is amazing! its simple, easy to follow and the end result is beautiful!

[@SweetSofties]

So glad you like it! Thank you so much!

[@MoaMorgenstern]

I’ll make a few of these as cute hides for my dear pet rats 🥰

[@SweetSofties]

Awww omg, I love that! If you want to share pics of your baskets and rats snuggling in them, I'd just love to see!! :D You can tag me on Instagram @sweetsofties!

[@maziesummers4036]

Loved this tutorial! I didn't have any problems following along with the paper pattern from your site as a reference during the video. I used two strands of worsted cotton with a 6.0 mm hook and it made just the right size to hold a oui yogurt jar for rooting plants. 😊

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you for the sweet comment! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed this pattern, and how perfect that you made it for your rooting plants!

[@thecelticglider3627]

Thank you for the tutorial. I'm gonna try this with fleece strips. I do wish I could have seen your hands as you worked the stitches. The camera was a little too high. I'm new to crochet so I am learning the stitch names and how to do them.

[@SweetSofties]

I'm so sorry about the camera angle; I only realized it afterwards with the comments. My apologies! :(

[@SweetSofties]

When I have extra time I will work on redoing this video project!

[@atelyeahdunkelbunt583]

thanks for the tutorial, you should adjust the camera though. can't see anything you're doing cause the camera is mostly filming your desk, not your hands :/

[@SweetSofties]

I sincerely apologize about that! I didn't notice until about halfway through crocheting that my camera angle was off. :(

pleaseeee adjust the camera @SweetSofties thanks!

[@maxinebeauty2206]

Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much. Cute voice too☺️

[@SweetSofties]

Aww I'm so glad you enjoyed my tutorial, and thank you so much!!

[@sarahalvarado2523]

Awesome video, very easy to follow we'll definitely be making many more

[@SweetSofties]

You're so kind, thank you dear!!

[@rosylum9526]

this is frustrating - her hands are mostly off camera which for a video tutorial is kind of unhelpful

[@ellamassiel]

Then don't watch it!!!

[@stacykrett]

If you have a spare/ old globe ceilng light cover, you can place one in these. Then, add air plant or light ivy for a hanging planter?

[@SweetSofties]

That is a beautiful idea! I love it!!

[@tarabrinton7742]

So after each round I must NOT slip stitch to beginning of round? Is it just a continuous circle? I think that's why other people's, mine included are not lining up. Makes sense I suppose as each round we are not chaining one!!

[@crochet_crazy5852]

i love this so much! i was wondering how wide the fabric strips are? my moms favorite sheet set wore out but i bet i can make this basket for her out of the parts that are still good! she would just die over this basket! love love love this! thanks so much!

[@SweetSofties]

Wow that’s an amazing idea; what a wonderful gift it would be for your mother! The chiffon ribbon yarn I used said it is cut in 1/4” to 1/2” strips. Some parts are thinner and others wider. Hope this helps!

[@crochet_crazy5852]

@@SweetSofties yes, this helps a lot! thank you so much! maybe i will do a small test on both sizes and see which looks best! if it works out i'll be sure to share a pic in the facebook group!

[@PeregrineDLLC]

Great idea! I was thinking of doing the same with a shirt. I found some recycled sari yarn that works wonderfully for this, too---

[@marigu1605]

Hey there! Does somebody have experience with using it as a plant hanger? I am wondering about watering the plant...do you put someting under it to catch excess water? And has anyone tried hanging these in the bathroom? I want to make a plant hanger for my sister's bathroom using cotton garn, will that work with the humidity? Thanks!

[@SweetSofties]

That's a good question...I'm not sure! I would say that it would probably be best to put in a plant that doesn't need a lot of water and doesn't have holes on the bottom of the pot, so you can make sure to keep the basket clean. (Unless you want it to be an outdoor basket.) I think using cotton yarn would be great for your needs!

[@kaytorrence8870]

I might have to try this what is the size of the large one would you say? Thank you

[@SweetSofties]

Awesome! The large one is about 12" in height and 7.5" in width!

[@kaytorrence8870]

@@SweetSofties thank you I think I am going to buy so I have info for the larger one

[@normatrewhella9003]

Will buy the yarn tomorrow. Love this basket.

[@SweetSofties]

Awesome! So glad you like this design! :) Happy crocheting!

[@priscilladsouza1437]

I made this and it turned out so beautiful.

[@SweetSofties]

So happy to hear it!

[@janiceokada5927]

Love to make this! The only thing is that your hands and work are hard to see as they’re just a bit low on the shot.

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks! So sorry about that. I didn't realize it until after...my apologies!

[@ratty1942]

You do it out of the shot!!

[@carlabonardo4013]

Thanks a lot for sharing! I'll do it. It's so beautiful 😍💞

[@SweetSofties]

Aww, happy you like it! Thakn you!!

[@mawmann]

Wow! thanks so much for sharing, I love it!

[@SweetSofties]

I'm so glad you do! Thank you and happy crocheting! :)

[@harpersmith3599]

So cute!

[@MotherHemCreations]

Bought your pdf to support

[@SweetSofties]

That's so kind of you! Thank you so much for supporting my small business!! :) Hope you have a fun time crocheting this basket!

[@tolin6438]

Love the basket...

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you so much!

[@theresabeaupre797]

Where do I find the larger pattern...thank you

[@SweetSofties]

Hi, the larger pattern sizes are available in my store here: payhip.com/b/x7pw8 Thank you!

[@sonjafairfield4823]

Can we get just the pattern? I have intermittent wifi so it's impossible to follow tutorials.

[@claraestrada5080]

there is a link to the written pattern on her blog right there on the description. its only for the small size though. other sizes are paid pattern link to ravelry

[@SweetSofties]

Hi Sonja, thanks for sharing your message. Clara's right, there's a link to the written pattern in the video description (www.sweetsofties.com/2019/12/teardrop-hanging-baskets.html). If you'd like the ad-free PDF pattern with all sizes (small, original, large), you can purchase it for a small fee in my Ravelry store: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/teardrop-hanging-baskets Hope this helps, thanks!

[@cassiacharles2885]

Do you know how strong the basket will be?

[@SweetSofties]

Hi! It's quite strong/sturdy as a crocheted item (can easily support potted plants, fruits, or what you'd like to fit inside), but I think it depends more on how you have it secured to the wall. Make sure you have a strong nail to hold up heavier objects, if you plan to put heavier things inside. Hope this helps!

[@nancylemieux8058]

This would look so cute in my kitchen...I'd like to make a small version to hold garlic bulbs! Will one skein of yarn make one basket of the size You just crocheted?

[@SweetSofties]

This basket would be awesome for holding garlic bulbs! And yes, I used one skein of Dark Good Yarn's Chiffon Ribbon Ombre yarn for a basket. I had some left over yarn from that skein too.

[@beckysalter3390]

I was so hopeful for this but couldn't see the hands 😭

[@ruthannklos3555]

Could you please tell me how wide is the yarn? Just love your tutorial Thank you☺

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you so much! To answer your question, the yarn is 1/2" - 1/4" strips!

[@kasthoorisoundararajan8272]

Very good...excellent

[@CyndiWho]

…re: camera aim It might be helpful if you place a small target on your work surface so you can keep your hands in the camera frame.

[@agnesadyana7344]

Thank you for the tutorial. 👍

[@SweetSofties]

Absolutely! Thank you for liking it! :)

[@loveyrogers3181]

Love your Tutorial

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you so much!!

[@Tervnut]

Help, made this and a couple other versions and im not getting the pouch development. What might i be doing wrong?

[@SweetSofties]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm not sure... are you following the written pattern on my blog? Make sure you're decreasing in the latter rows so that the project begins folding in for a pouch look.

[@Tervnut]

@@SweetSofties following as written. I'll keep trying until I figure it out.

[@carmenpaulson5145]

So darling thank for sharing

[@SweetSofties]

You are so welcome, thank you for watching!!

[@beatrizrodrigues5006]

Amazing!

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks so much!!

[@PeregrineDLLC]

Great project-- thank you

[@SweetSofties]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@claraestrada5080]

just to let you know, on your blogpost, the link to the ravelry paid pdf links to a fox hood, not this one

[@SweetSofties]

Oh yikes, thanks for the heads up!! I have gone in and fixed it. I really appreciate you letting me know!

[@happinessisnailart3188]

Not recommended for beginners. Can't see what's going on

[@Ilovemaria]

I’m not a beginner so i was able to follow up until row 4+5 you didn’t explain very well. I redid this planter twice and it didn’t come out right. Really upset 😢

[@ell_simiti33]

the camera is a little bit off the balance,i can barely see what you are doing

[@jenniferalmaraz21]

😢she has a great explanation, if you could only see what she is doing

[@tracycaron7917]

Nice tutorial just need to adjust your camera so we can see what you're doing.

[@martavillasenor7732]

You might want to adjust your camera since its hard to see the work you are doing in the yarn.

[@mariewright3490]

It would be great if you could redo this whole video but in camera. No one can see what you are doing because you are off camera most of the time.😟😖

[@katmania666]

Cant follow, you didnt film what you were doing

[@Hoopmoments]

Just a thought, moving your camera up might be helpful 😊

[@shalebateson9803]

Can't see it very well as you have your camera not on you hands I can only see the tip of your hook also your going to fast to keep up with

[@SweetSofties]

I'm sorry! I noticed that the camera angle was off partway through the video before adjusting it. Apologies if the video seemed fast; I make it so that it won't be too boring to familiar beginners and intermediate crocheters, and so that they can pause the video if needed. My complete pattern videos (like this one) aren't suitable for new beginners to crochet because I don't teach how to make the different stitches; I simply show the stitches and the instruction. However, I plan to make some more videos explaining stitches in the future!

[@gianina206]

Your camera is in a bad position????

[@lizbrevard4238]

This video shows only the tops of your fingers and not much of your project construction. You are holding your work too low for the camera to capture.

[@christinaflory9341]

Can't see much

[@sandradhall]

Well your hands are to low and you can't see the actual hook and yarn

[@tobygolding1893]

You're 90% outside your camera range. I can't see what you're doing.

[@last.life999]

we can't see what you're doing bc everything is out of the frame:/

[@TheKazadoodle]

She's just making single crochets into stitches - there's really no need to see that.

[@last.life999]

@@TheKazadoodle there are definitely other things going on. i just think if someone has a video tutorial that they would have the project in the video frame. i wasn’t being mean to this person about it, just letting them know. we all learn differently and i need to be able to visually follow things. please don’t assume that you know what is or isn’t easy for another person to understand, we’re all at different skill levels.

[@TheKazadoodle]

@@last.life999 I made no assumptions. I just don't like it when people use "we" instead of "I". Sorry about that.

[@last.life999]

@@TheKazadoodle it is a fact that “we” cannot see the project. regardless of whether or not all of us ‘need’ to see it, the fact is that we can't because it is not in the frame. thank you for apologizing.

[@TheKazadoodle]

@@last.life999 Thanks for being patient with me.

The Pattern is 3.99 it is not free.

[@SweetSofties]

Hi! The written pattern is free on my blog at: www.sweetsofties.com/2019/12/teardrop-hanging-baskets.html Just scroll down to the "crochet instructions" and you'll see it! :)

[@marieannecanales2760]

Ya think you might do the project within camera shit?

[@annettewilliams748]

I followed the pattern till 10th round and it doesn't match up! I know I wasn't crocheting it wrong... Don't like this tutorial

[@geovqz4984]

Muy malo. No muestras nada😣😣😣😣

[@feleciaburke4638]

It would help if what you’re doing was in the frame the entire time! Definitely not worth watching if you trying to learn!!

I can’t see anything that she is doing except the tips of her fingers????? I’m going to another channel
