My mother born 1918, used wire and cord to make baskets with rags, grasses and yarns. Good for you for showing this. Being raised in Humboldt County, CA, I last used Hemp. You did a great job of describing and teaching how to start!

Great technique tutorial! Plus the BEST tutorial I’ve seen to make a Magic Circle! Thanks so much for awesome teaching! 😊 Also… just wanted to mention that your voice is very easy to listen to, calm and not at a high pitch 😊. I’ll definitely subscribe!

These baskets are really handy! I crocheted a large basket with handles using the plastic wrapped steel clothesline and a worsted weight yarn held together with a bulky weight yarn. I can carry a large blanket or quilt I'm working on in it.

Dollar tree online also sells Premier Yarn. Just watch how many it requires you to buy. Most of the time it is only 6 skeins.

@judymckinstry8130 3 жыл бұрын

Great idea. Do you just do that on the bottom or the whole basket? Thanks for the tip!

@katrinascreationscrafting 3 жыл бұрын

I did the spike stitch just at the bottom. Once I got a few inches up the sides, I started only doing the clothes line every other row.

@looshandnugget 2 жыл бұрын

I have been trying to figure out how to use this technique to make square bottom baskets and flat rectangular mats. Any thoughts appreciated!

@katrinascreationscrafting 2 жыл бұрын

I've never made a rectangle one, but here goes. I would crochet the base separately to the size that you want. Then, I would crochet into the edges of the rectangle to form the sides. Make sure to add additional stitches into the corners so it doesn't bunch up. I hope that helps, but it just a guess.

This is a good concept, I only wish that you'd showed how to finish the project using the rope and displayed the finished basket so we could see how well it held up.

@katrinascreationscrafting 8 ай бұрын

Hi Katarina, that video was done several years ago. I have 2 newer versions of making a basket with clothes line that might be more helpful. Here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b912etKKmM-snZ8.html The baskets (I have 4) have all held up well. I use them at craft fairs and they fit perfectly into storage cubby units. I hope the newer tutorials are more helpful.

H0w to Crochet a hat for a baby

@sheiladeshields8658 Ай бұрын

11:10 can this be done using fabric instead of yarn?

@katrinascreationscrafting Ай бұрын

I would think you could if the strips were thin enough. You might not even need the cloths line because the fabric might be dense enough to hold the shape. Great idea! I might have to give that a try.

did i miss your explanation of how u know the amount of yarn?

@katrinascreationscrafting 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Deborah, I don't think I said how much yarn. I held the yarn double and I had 2 Pound of Love skeins from Lion Brand. I was able to make 3 baskets and still have some left over. I did end up buying more clothes line for the 3rd basket. I didn't follow a pattern, I made the base the size that would fit the cabinet I was using it in and then stopped increasing and crocheting upwards until it reached the height that I wanted. I hope that helps.

It is firm enough to hold its shape. A friend of mine uses coated electrical wire for a really stiff basket.

Fantastic idea! To do the magic circle there is a much easier way than the way you do it. To make a magic circle it is the same as a slip knot BUT instead of bringing the yarn towards you and then pulling it through the loop. To make the magic hold the non working yarn in your non dominant hand and the working yarn (the end that is attached to the skein/ball etc), bring that end towards the other but make a circle and where the yarns cross you grab it with your non dominant hand, then pull the working yarn towards you through the loop. Use the hook to bring the yarn up and secure the with a slip stitch and off you go. If you don't understand let me know and I will make a vide4o for you. Trying to get some video's up and get my channel going!

@alimustafa7680 3 жыл бұрын

I really don’t like this idea that much mainly because the clothes line is visible through the yarn. And also it take way to long I think. That last part I don’t know but watching you it looked as if you were having a really hard time and could have done that a lot faster without the clothesline

@katrinascreationscrafting 3 жыл бұрын

You are right that the clothesline shows through. and it can be a little difficult to maneuver, but I like that it helps the basket hold its shape. If I had used a thicker, or stiffer yarn, I might have been able to skip the clothes line.
