Chunky Crochet Basket Tutorial for Beginners [Jessie Stash Basket - TL Yarn Crafts]

A wise maker once said, if you make baskets FROM yarn, you’ll always have baskets FOR yarn. Or maybe that was me while trying to justify buying yarn to make another chunky crochet basket. This one accomplishes it all!

Thanks. TONI. I have loved the stitches in this basket. Since starting a few years ago, I have made 70+ of these for women I love!! The Woolease is one of the wonderful yarns I have used from Lion Brand. I have made solids and stripes designs. And the baskets are loved!!! I have the drections memorized!! 💗Thanks for this design!! ♡D💞

I've mentioned before how much I love this basket, but I'm currently finishing the last of 8 I've made for Christmas gifts. I'm filling them with goodies (box of candy, Christmas towels, an ornament, etc.) for each of our neighbors, my hairdresser and nieces. Thank you again for this practical pattern and for your video. Your voice is easy to listen to and your instruction simple to follow. Merry Christmas from Texas.

FINISHING TIP: I absolutely love this basket! On the final round, I did not like the wierd curve between the finishing slip stitch and the handle. So, I slipped stitched the repeat pattern all the way to the handle and it turned out beautifully.

I have been watching your tutorials for several months now and I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy them. I have been crocheting for many years. I am a combination of self taught and multiple teachers, however I am left handed and have spent my life translating right to left hand instructions. Thought I was doing a good job, but your videos have made me realize I was doing many things wrong and/or the hard way. You are so clear in your instructions and tips and I have learned so much. The method you use to do the initial slip knot is so much easier than anything I have seen before! Your voice is so calming and encouraging. It makes such a difference. You have made me excited about crocheting again! Thank you so very much!!!

This is just what I was looking for - thank you!! I’m tired of my WIP’s living in a plastic bin and went looking for a crochet basket tutorial. Round basket after round basket, nope, not the right shape for what I need. Then the heavens parted and YouTube delivered me the Jessie Stash Basket! It’s the perfect shape and the waistcoat stitch is beautiful. Thank you Toni!

That's it, I fell in love with this basket, I've made three of them, fourth is on the way!

[Xraygirlie]

My soul almost left my body when Toni snuck in that waistcoat stitch. LOL. 😝😂 I was doing fine up until that point. After slowing down the playback to 25 (lol!) and looked at it about 2 dozen times, I finally got it right. Yay! Doing my very first rectangular basket and I simply love it. Thank you Toni. You are a fantastic crochet instructor; the best on YouTube. 🩷🌹🥰

ma this is so pretty and best part ? so easy to follow, I have a whole bunch of yarn in different colours I can put together and make it my own Mexican style, I can see it as a purse to, adding some embellishment to the handles or a scarf around or applications like flowers... the possibilities are endless, I'm so excited about this project!! thanks a bunch and keep those lovely videos coming, your voice is so soothing...

[joanna]

I know this video is super old but I just found your videos and I’m so excited to start crocheting. I just had surgery so I’m out of work for three more weeks. What kind of crochet trouble can I get into!!

[tinawhetter]

You are by far the best TUTOR I have ever seen and listen too, and your voice is soothing as well!

[katsie]

Thank you so much for having such clear instructions and explanations—I’m a newcomer to crochet and the multitude of stitches and techniques can get overwhelming, so tutorials like these are really helpful!

[kellyp]

Thank you so much for the detail you put into these videos. I am a long time crocheter but really appreciate step by step videos even better than a written pattern. I’ve made your other basket with the T-shirt yarn and everyone loves them! You do a great job! Thank you again!

[beverlyhess]

I love how the combo of the Waistcoat stitch and the sc combine to make a “basket weave” look! This is the exact pattern I’ve been looking for to make some stash baskets! They look good, but also very useful!

[karleedu]

Finally! A basket that I can do without having to do the "ring" thing. I have a lot of trouble doing that "ring" thing. Thank You!

[connierosenberger]

You explain everything so clearly and so precisely. I really appreciate the care you take when you teach.

[yangyangwatchesgaming]

I thought I had enough scrap yarn to make this. I did not. I now have a very lovingly made cat bed. 😂

[nancywalkerpate]

I'm making this with a white tshirt yarn (Hooked Zpagetti) in white. You flipped over at 12:55! Took me some rewinds to figure that out... I'm fairly new at crochet. Wish me luck with the rest. So far so good. Love your videos!

[robinparker]

Omg I am so excited that I finally found a project that I could actually follow the tutorial. I made the basket! It turned out great.

[TarahMatson-zzhj]

I found your channel while searching for a crochet basket pattern. I saw this and immediately clicked on it. I am so happy that I did! This was the Best crochet tutorial I’ve ever seen! I’m hooked…. No pun intended.😃 I’m now going to binge watch your videos and tomorrow go buy some of that gorgeous butterscotch yarn! Thank you!!!!❤️

[jillapp]

Your tutorials are simply the best that I have found on YouTube. You're very clear and concise and don't bore your audience with a lot of nonsense and redundancy. You're top-notch! Thank you!
