So appreciate your time with the tutorial and sharing the pattern. What a thoughtful person you are. I am going to use clothes line rope with your pattern! Wish me luck on this endeavor. The colors of your basket are my favorites along with a sand light tone. Great tutorial and positioning of your work for ease in understanding the placements for me.

Thank you for your pattern very easy to follow. Made mine a little bigger. Sure my granddaughter is going to love it. ❤️

I found in doing this basket you need to use chunky weight yarn. I used Bernat Blanket chunky weight # 6 I also used 2 strands of yarn. Mabe mine bigger & it's not collapsing. Hope this helps!

Beautiful! Wondering HOW stiff the sides of the basket become. Obviously a knit winter hat turned upside down would be utterly FLOPPY, but how would this compare with the commercially available "cubby" bins as far as stiffness for the structure?

[pennygreenwell]

You can use Yarn Bee macrame 5mm Rope. Holds up the sides. Works great!

What a nice rectangle basket. It was a little hard to see with the dark color.

Thank you for the pattern. Can you use 5# yarn instead of 6 please

Would you be able to provide the pattern repeat? I'm looking to put 3 rolls of toilet paper in mine, which is about 14" long. Can't wait to try this!

Thank you for the video though I wish you could have shown where the 12 hdc go along the short sides. I see you’ve said space them evenly but that doesn’t seem to be helping me much. I have no idea where the stitches go and it’s throwing everything else off.

If I wanted the rectangle base of the basket to be more squat (say an 8” x 12” rectangle) how many stitches would you recommend I start with in the initial chain? Chain 35 seems to make a much longer/skinnier basket, and I want mine much closer to a square shape.

With six rows, how can you stitch 12 on the short side? She there be 12 rows?

Nice basket and wonderful color but it is very hard to see in the video.

I just finished mine and it’s so flimsy!!! How can I make it more stiff like a basket? I’m thinking about putting some wire in it otherwise I’m not real pleased with this…

[navuluriyogi]

How much weight yarn needed for this size basket?

[CDaae]

great pattern, but how do you do the first standing row corners?

[loving-heart]

It looks nice but the sides collaps. How do you fix that.
