How to Crochet Basket with Wooden Base Tutorial

Learn how to crochet a basket using a wooden base with spaces for the stitches in this tutorial video!

Ever see those wooden bases with spaces in them? They work great for making crochet baskets! The template has evenly made spaces that are perfect for creating stitches. I'm using the waistcoat stitch as the primary stitch pattern, which is just a modified single crochet stitch.

For this tutorial I'm using super bulky t-shirt yarn for my sample baskets. I used 75 yards total for the 2 baskets. The first basket is 6" in diameter and the second one is 4" in diameter. Other basket template sizes will work for this pattern as well. If t-shirt yarn is not available, use any super bulky yarn or cord. Also, 2 or 3 strands of regular medium worsted yarn will work as well.

I start with a 6 mm crochet hook to fit the spaces, and then I switch over to a 6.5 mm crochet hook for the actual stitch pattern. I'm also using a bit of Aleene's Fabric Fusion to hold my ends in place.

Such a wonderful and practical idea Donna thank you so much ❤

My elderly neighbor lady use to make these but with the square shape and made an attached lid on one of the sides and put plasticized pictures of kittens on the 4 sides and top when I was a little girl. Goodness, that was back in the 1950's. Thank you so much for reminding me of that wonderful lady that crocheted all her life and gave so many fantastic gifts to us. She used to enter in the fair, too and got loads of blue and purple ribbons. I don't know if you enter but you would get oodles of prizes too!!! Thank you for all your tutorials!!! :-)

EXCELLENT PROJECT! My son has a 3D printer, and I may have him print some of the bases for me, as well as a matching top. Love the way you did the stitch.
