DIY Crocheted Basket

Hi, thanks for watching. Hopefully, I got the names of the stitches right.

Bernat Maker Home Dec Yarn (I bought it in the color Cream. It's currently unavailable but there are other colors.)

I used a G or 6 crochet hook.
1st Round (Magic Circle): 6 single crochet stitches
2nd round: 2 (amount of single crochet stitches in each stitch)
3rd round: 2, 1, 2, 1
4th round: 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1
5th round: 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1
6th round: 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1
7th round: 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
8th round: 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
9th- 20th round: 1 single crochet in each stitch
To finish the basket, I made a round of slip stitches.

Best crochet video. You used light colored yarn, a light background, no flashy nails and you went slow enough for us beginners to understand. I want to make a basket for my knitting. Thank you.

This is the FIRST time I have EVER understood how to do the "Magic circle". THANK YOU!!

Okay but using a Bobby pin as a stitch marker is the most genius thing I’ve ever seen! Why have I never thought of this?! Could’ve saved so much money on buying stitch markers.

Very easy to follow.clear instruction, no loud music distracting from instruction .no squeaky high pitched lous commentary .close up imagary.written instruction to back up the visual instruction .
Excellent tuition .

[yippieangel]

first attempt couldn't make it right (uneven bottom, weird bulging), now on the 2nd attempt and it is much better. a tip is to watch this on .5 speed, helps a lot for beginners like me. thank you for the guide video! easy to understand and you went thorough. <3

In case anyone was curious, this works with other yarn sizes too! I made a giant one with 25mm Bernat gray and it’s beautiful!

It is so helpful to have the pattern written . Its a great guiding point along with your vocals and skills.
Cant wait to check out more of your tutorials!
Thank you for your great work

Hi, thanks so much for the video! I'm a complete beginner and I find there are couple of things that can be mentioned on the video that may help others here.

I think it would be helpful if you could let us know the total number of stiches from each round so we all know that we are on the right track. Judging from the comments I think I'm not the only one who got confused.

I also had to learn it the hard way that I shouldn't hook the slip stitch (from previous round) to close my round. Moreover NOT to start my first round (the 2 x single crochet) on the same slip stitch that I chained. Hope these make sense. I know you showed that on the vid but for beginner it just need to be clarified. Because for me at first, the first stitch was literally the next stitch. I made these two mistakes resulting in pentagon shaped base

Having said that, I love your explanation of the increments (3rd round 2 1 = 3, 4th round 2 1 1 = 4) for each round. It makes perfect sense to me thus I can expand my base to 17 rounds. Plus I love the way you do the magic circle.

P.S Sorry for many comment edits. I had to go through your vids so many times to make sense of the process plus to explain correctly

Seriously this is the best tutorial EVER good clear images, slow instructions and simple language, I hope you have lots more for me to watch.

Thank you, as a beginner I really appreciate it. I’ve watched so many videos, they were doing everything so fast I had to slow down the video up to 0.5 . You explained everything in such a nice form, just thank you.

I have never been able to understand how to correctly do the magic circle but this video is the first time I have been able to do it 🎉

[hiyella]

Extremely thorough explanation and awesome view showing how to make the basket. Thank you!!

[coffeebeforemascara]

OMG and I can see exactly what you are doing. And if I'm still not 1, 000% sure, I can just slow down the playback speed. You are a great instructor!

[belladicanio]

alot of people seem to be getting a shape that isnt a circle! that might be because instead chaining one to start your row, you should just go into the next stitch. chaining one leaves a points at the end of each round and it isnt a circle

I have crocheted this basket. Simple project for my beginner daughter too. Thanks for this video.

[allinsonsherratt]

Wow - as a left handed, but ambidextrous individual, crochet has always been a " which hand to use " problem. Love amigurimi animals so decided to persevere. My technique is not pretty - still trying to knit (he ha), but I succeeded at my first attempt. I forsee many baskets in my future.
Thank you for this calm, beautifully described demo. Loved it ❤️

[caakessale]

Your a life saver this is the first time people explained EVERY single step THANKYOU😭😭😭

[caniipeopleperson]

New subscriber here. That pattern is seriously so easy to follow. I can't wait to customize it afterwards for the kids. 🥰

[Millie-fsew]

This actually makes me want to start crocheting! I always thought it would be too difficult to understand but your video really makes it easy for me, thank you!!

[itssojulie]

I made this with macrame yarn from dollar tree! Thank you for a great tutorial.
