that was by far the BEST tutorial i have ever watched! clear instructions, clear view, and just the right amount of watching repeat stitches🫶🏻😊

Love this tutorial. If I use only one colour is 100m enough?

How do I increase if I want to make the base bigger

@Castastropheee 11 months ago

At 28:25, you begin the first handle portion, but the back half of creating the handles played prior to this. FYI, I was a little confused when it jumped from color changes to suddenly there was already a handle made 😅

My sides keep curving in. I tried tighter, I tried looser. I tried bigger crochet hook. I have pulled this thing apart so many times. I have made nice baskets with 5 mm but not the 9mm.

How many bundles of yarn did you use for this basket?

@jennifershaw5662 7 months ago

Can you give the quantity of yarn needed & where to purchase please

I’ve just completed a Moses basket with this exact yarn. It’s a workout to say the least. Please be aware that the type of hook that’s being used in this video can and do snap. You must use a solid metal or wooden hook. I’m going to make this basket with my left over bobbing yarn. Thanks for sharing

I’m trying to do this with jumbo 7 weight bernat blanket extra in Purple Sunset. Can’t lie I’m a little flustered trying to do this. I’ve had to slowdown the playback speed because it’s just too fast for me to keep up. Maybe i need to try this at another time because I’m doing this 2:20am whole my insomnia and anxiety are not being very nice😢

I feel like this video is far too quick for a beginner. I want to buy the kit but I’m not sure I can follow this as it’s not clear enough. Do you have any others where it’s easier to see exactly what you’re doing and slower?
