Beautiful tutorial, thank you! A tip from someone else who was sewing a rope basket: if you tape the piping where you intend to cut it and cut in the middle of the scotch taped cord it will not fray :)
For some reason I'm having trouble with the knot. Out of 27 tries I was able to do it twice, so I'm playing that part over and over again until I can really get it! Terrific knot.
Loved this project. It's like a gateway project to a brand new way to work with and enjoy yarn. One can take this basket design in so many directions..
This was one of the most interesting, enjoyable videos I have seen yet! Your pace was perfect, and. instructions were very clear. No wasted time babbling! Thank you for that! I will be attempting this project in the near future, and I LOVED your knot! First time I have seen that, and will adopt your technique!
I am in the midst of making this now. I found her directions very easy to follow as I’ve made other baskets and rugs with this increase pattern. I searched thru all the comments looking for how much piping to use but couldn’t find any specific rule of thumb. I took a chance and bought 14 yards as that was all Joanns had in one piece. So far my basket is roughly 10” wide and I am pretty sure I’m going to run out of piping before I get a 6” high wall completed. I’m going to try to add on an additional piece of piping using both fabric glue and sewing. So I’m guesstimating I’ll use around 18 yards total (or thereabouts) of piping. I really want to try to make the huge one and bought thicker piping on Amazon (that was pricy but I’ve found especially now it hard to get a large quantity at a local store). I’m hoping thicker piping will work up quicker. I’m still unclear on how to sew in the loose ends. I did pick up some clothesline too as it looked similar to the piping. I thought why not?😂 I looked at rope but not sure how the twisted fibers would work. Maybe okay? Love the look of these baskets!!
Another thing I found was when I pulled the piping as I started up the wall it didn’t work right for me. Could be that I put too much tension or it may be because of the tension of my stitches but it worked way better when i continued up the walls with the same amount of slack on the piping as I had on the bottom... This approach worked better for me.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. If I may make just a tiny bit of constructive "criticism"? I have very bad Tenitis in my ears (constant ringing). It's very hard to hear what you were saying in the beginning of the video because of the background music. It was not only hard to hear you over it (for me), but also it was very distracting. I hope you don't feel I'm being rude or ungrateful for the time and effort you put forth to produce this video... I do really appreciate your work!
I agree, the background music was more the foreground and drowned out her voice which became the background. I think a lot of videos have this problem.
You have a wonderful voice so it IS nice that you have NO music to interfere. I like your video a lot - and hope I can get the materials. TY very much!!!
Awesome tutorial thank you!! My only suggestion I've found to be super helpful with most projects is to do a double magic circle. It helps with keeping that ring tight and doesnt unravel 😊
Is there a written pattern? I would love one so that I know how many stitches to make where etc. I did not know you could crochet these baskets so I am incredibly excited to make these since I absolutely love them!!
Hello, I just found your video and am so excited because this is what I have been looking for. I am fairly new and wanted a basket to put my new supplies and yarns in, however being new I don’t know how to do a magic circle and understand when, where to put the 2 increase stitch. Yours looked so uniform and neat. I looked on your video list and didn’t see a reference to it. If there is one would you direct me to it or if not could you break it down a little further in another video. Sorry, I hope that is not a pain for you, I just am not getting it. I really love how beautiful and functional these are and it is exactly what I would like so if you would be willing I would be so very grateful!!! Thank you so much for posting and teaching me/us. God bless !😊
Thank you so much. This is so straightforward. I just ruined a basket that I bought from West Elm and I didn't want to pay to replace it. This will work even better for me!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I'm making one right now and it is so beautiful! One question: what do I do if I run out of rope and need to join a new rope?
Thank you for saying that the basket will look lopsided, I have never made a basket before but I remember when I started to crochet I got upset with myself because my work didn't look like the teachers. I learned to crochet from the computer. Thank you for saying relax it will work out, just keep going.
I'm a fan! I've watched this video a few times and needed to get more confident reading/understanding patterns to catch the increase. I wish that part was dumbed down and went slower in the video. But I got it! Thank you
I am thrilled to find this! I used to make something similar in high school with a yarn needle. This is much easier! Just a helpful hint....if you cut the beginning tail of the rope it is easier to wrap and fold down in place
Thanks very much for that. One observation/request, perhaps it's my aging ears but I find it a little hard to separate your voice from the background music during the opening and closing segments. No problems following the main part though. Thanks!
It's not just your ears. I went right to the comments to see if anyone had said anything about the music since I found it hard to hear her while music was playing.
I just made my own first little basket. I'm really happy with it! Thank you so much for the amazing video. The project ist super beautiful and your explanations are great! Can't wait to make more baskets in different colors.
Great tutorial! Seems very versatile. Thinking about varying the material, maybe? I have some sisal rope that I think would make a good filling and also wondering what would happen if you used fabric strips as the filling? Something much floppier to be sure. Maybe good for trivets or bathmats?
I bet pieces of fabric can be cut into strips and then included throughout the outside of the basket tied like a latch hook rug. Sort of like how fringe is made at the ends or edges of knit/crocheted scarves and shawls/triangles - and when using a tri-loom.
Fascinating technique, looks very therapeutic. I will endeavour to make a small basket for my bathroom essentials. I simply love the texture and how you can easily coordinate your colours too. Thank you so much for a superb tutorial, so clear and easy to understand for a beginner 'crocheter'. I look forward to more videos in the future, stay safe and well xxxx
That is super cool! Working on it now, although I bought not enough "piping" material and need to make a junction! Any suggestions on how to make the bridge between the two filling ropes? I am using a thinner "pipe", synthetic material and pretty rigid.
Thanks for the awesome project!! Great tutorial. I'm looking forward to making some baskets. I'm trying to organize my house more and all the people making organizing videos use baskets that they buy but now I'm going to be able to make my own in exactly the right sizes and my own colours :)
I looked up the materials you used. For the piping; how many yards for the basket featured and how many skeins of yarn? Thank you! I play video games when I should be creating! You've inspired me! My Mom and Gram were both crocheters and I did too until my teens. Would really like to try my hand at this. Thanks again! 🎉❤
Hi, ChiWei! What a beautiful clean looking basket. Can't wait to try this out. Thank you for explaining things so well. Are these baskets easy to clean after being out several months? Just wondering how to treat the cord👍❤️😉
This looks fabulous! And something I want to try. I don't see a materials list. Can you please let me know what you are using for piping and yarn? Thank you!
🤚NEW SUBBIE😁 👀👀 The new knot is giving me LIFE!! 🤣🤣 You tutorial is excellent. Thank you for answering so many questions. The plan is- White Satin Twine (yarn sub) Large laundry basket Medium underwear basket Tan Jute Twine (yarn sub) 2ea kitchen/laundry area rugs TFS and the motivation ☺
Hello, I love this work. I'm trying to find the piping cotton (I live in switzerland), but I find only standart cotton rope or cord. It is much heavier. Does someone would have an idea where I could find it somewhere else (there is no more on amazon). Thank you so much if you have an idea.
Can be done oval shape base, even rectangle? I need a basket for blankets next to my couch and needs to be rectangle or oval. ...... anyway a very good tutorial. Thank you
Thank you so much! I've been wanting to try a basket with clothesline but wasn't sure how to start. I might try it with the piping like you did instead.
I am a beginner at crochet.. loved the basket. In the beginning when you were making the base.. 2nd round you increased from 8 to 16 ..what pattern of increasing the chain/stitches did you follow was not clear later on.
Great tutorial, but I have two questions: approximately how much piping would you need for that large bag, and how do you start new piping if you run out? I imagine a knot isn't feasible, nor weaving. I can only think it might be best to just place the ends together? Thanks!
You could use a needle and thread to sew the piping ends together, or even use a good fabric glue, but I think sewing them together would hold up better, especially if you carry something heavy in the basket 🙂
What a great pattern! I made baskets using 3 strands of 4 weight yarn and they turned out beautifully but my hands are still very sore and it’s been months. I look forward to trying this, thank you for a great tutorial! I’ve subscribed!
I just asked the same questions. I see she hasn't responded to you yet, but the video is 3 years old. I love her work! Hopefully, we get the answers, but I think we can move forward without them too. If you hadn't noticed, in the description, she's provided links to each product. Follow them and there you might find the answers you seek. Great video, right? Take care and best wishes to you 😊
Really great tutorial. My basket base always curls up and I've tried everything I can find online to stop that and nothing is helping. Anyone have pointers?
You are an excellent teacher. I would like more clarity how to increase rows in the beginning in order to create that pattern of lines.
Beautiful tutorial, thank you! A tip from someone else who was sewing a rope basket: if you tape the piping where you intend to cut it and cut in the middle of the scotch taped cord it will not fray :)
Also whipping the end of the rope

I found a huge roll of this kind of piping years ago at a thrift store.. now I have a use for it!! Thanks so much!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you soooo much for the tutorial. Now I can make the bean bag Ive always wanted!
You're a natural born teacher. I'm confident now to make my own basket. Thank you!
My favorite part of this? Learning the new knot!😍👍
👀 The new knot is EVERYTHING 😜
For some reason I'm having trouble with the knot. Out of 27 tries I was able to do it twice, so I'm playing that part over and over again until I can really get it! Terrific knot.
Me too! I was thinking, "Why haven't I seen this before?" And, "Why is this hidden knot such a secret?" Now, I'm saying, "I know the secret!"
Loved this project. It's like a gateway project to a brand new way to work with and enjoy yarn. One can take this basket design in so many directions..
This was one of the most interesting, enjoyable videos I have seen yet! Your pace was perfect, and. instructions were very clear. No wasted time babbling! Thank you for that! I will be attempting this project in the near future, and I LOVED your knot! First time I have seen that, and will adopt your technique!
I really like this type basket. I like it even more that you can make it very large. This would make a nice laundry basket too.
Nice! I started crochet two weeks ago and I know enough to start this project. Great instructions!

This something new to be added to my learning to crocheting. You are a good teacher with simple in strictions🙏.
I used this tutorial to make a medium sized shorter basket with handles. It looks great. I am a beginner and this was easy to follow. Thank you!
How much cotton pipping did you end up using?
Friggin amazing. I do not have the patience. Watching caused anxiety. But I love it so much. I would totally buy one to hold my yarn 🧶 I love it.
Hi, thank you for a great tutorial. Can you let us know how much of both yarns and cotton piping you did you use for this basket ?
Thank you so much for this tutorial. If I may make just a tiny bit of constructive "criticism"? I have very bad Tenitis in my ears (constant ringing). It's very hard to hear what you were saying in the beginning of the video because of the background music. It was not only hard to hear you over it (for me), but also it was very distracting.

Maybe they could add closed captions to fix this issue? :)
There are closed captions
I agree, the background music was more the foreground and drowned out her voice which became the background. I think a lot of videos have this problem.
I just found your blog and this video….and I’m so excited to try this. Thank you so much !❤️
Don’t know how to crochet. Your instructions seem simple. Need baskets. Thank you!!

Great talent there. Thanks for sharing. We thank God for being thorough. I enjoyed the video. God bless you for sharing.
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I'm making one right now and it is so beautiful! One question: what do I do if I run out of rope and need to join a new rope?
Love that large basket you showed in the beginning. Can't wait to start one, just need the cordage. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for saying that the basket will look lopsided, I have never made a basket before but I remember when I started to crochet I got upset with myself because my work didn't look like the teachers.

I'm a fan! I've watched this video a few times and needed to get more confident reading/understanding patterns to catch the increase. I wish that part was dumbed down and went slower in the video. But I got it! Thank you
I had trouble finding the increase as well. How often are we supposed to be adding the increase?
I am thrilled to find this! I used to make something similar in high school with a yarn needle. This is much easier! Just a helpful hint....if you cut the beginning tail of the rope it is easier to wrap and fold down in place
I ment to say cut the beginning of the rope at an angle

Wow. Great tutorial. Neat how you changed colors. Thank you so very much
I am so glad I came across your video! Clear directions! Very helpful hints!!! You have inspired me.
Hi. Thanks for that video. I am a beginer crochet. I learned during lockdown! I love you explanations they are super clear.
Love your work I wanted to know how can I make the basket bigger in the middle

So did you make a basket and if you did how'd it turn out? If you didn't I'm not here to guilt you...I have a whole room full of intentions lol
Loved this video. Definitely will try it to make pot holders and badkets for my yarns.
brilliant video but please can you do one on how to join the filler piping cord if you run out of cord and need to join to together. TIA
That is super cool! Working on it now, although I bought not enough "piping" material and need to make a junction! Any suggestions on how to make the bridge between the two filling ropes? I am using a thinner "pipe", synthetic material and pretty rigid.
Thanks for the tutorial. Do you happen to have one similar to this for crocheting a rectangles rope basket?
Loved this absolutely!😊
Any guidelines on how we can make a rectangular basket using the same technique?
Thanks for the awesome project!! Great tutorial. I'm looking forward to making some baskets. I'm trying to organize my house more and all the people making organizing videos use baskets that they buy but now I'm going to be able to make my own in exactly the right sizes and my own colours :)
Great Video.... Really well explained for an absolute beginner.... Thank You❤❤❤
Great tutorial!! So clear and precise. I don’t know how to crochet, but this is going to be my first project. You are a wonderful teacher! 💐
Cut the cording off on an angle instead of straight and it will sew down nicer for you :-D
The Coli Crochet baskets are beautiful,will try to make as soon as I can.Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Oh that is good! Thank you for sharing!
Doesn’t it fray more once cut?
@@karenneale2840 You're going to cover it so no not really.
I suppose. It’s a better idea not so much to tuck in. I’ve order the piping cord so will start as soon as it comes.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. How much piping would I need for the larger basket?
More videos please coz ur gifted.......ur explanations are top keep up da content flowing......
This is awesome! Thank you so. Much, I think this would be perfect to make bread proofing baskets.
I looked up the materials you used. For the piping; how many yards for the basket featured and how many skeins of yarn?

I’m going to try this method to make some placemats and a rug. Ty for this wonderful tutorial
I made this. I loved your tutorial. Thanks
Most beautiful basket. I will start making tomorrow.
If I implement the Guage 5 bulky chunky yarn with this coil, will it work well?
I just made my first basket, I love it!! Thank you for the clear instructions may I ask what color the yellow is that your using?
Hi, ChiWei! What a beautiful clean looking basket. Can't wait to try this out. Thank you for explaining things so well. Are these baskets easy to clean after being out several months? Just wondering how to treat the cord👍❤️😉

👀👀 The new knot is giving me LIFE!! 🤣🤣
You tutorial is excellent. Thank you for answering so many questions.
The plan is-
White Satin Twine (yarn sub)
Large laundry basket
Medium underwear basket
Tan Jute Twine (yarn sub)
2ea kitchen/laundry area rugs
TFS and the motivation ☺
This is good to store blankets or use in closets for towels, like face towels. It looks washable.
This is such a good tutorial. Thank you!
hi! I enjoyed you're video very much, and I think you explained it very well, so I really want to try doing it. thank you!
Thank you for a lovely tutorial. I’m using a real rope and jute cord to crochet. The walls keep caving in. Is it the material or am I doing sth wrong?
Very well explained ! I might try it in 2021 to make presents for my family :-)
Would love to see a square basket tutorial please. I am thinking of doing big square baskets for storage ideas. Thanks
Beautiful pattern and technique... thanks for sharing!
Que hermoso! Felicidades es un excelente video y me encanta el proyecto! Gracias!
Your instructions/tutorial is so easy to follow!
I have been trying to figure out how to use this technique to make square bottom baskets and flat rectangular mats. Any thoughts appreciated!
This is an excellent tutorial!
How many skeins of yarn did you use for the smaller basket?
Thank you for the demo. Typically how long cotton piping we need to make one basket?
Hello, I love this work. I'm trying to find the piping cotton (I live in switzerland), but I find only standart cotton rope or cord. It is much heavier. Does someone would have an idea where I could find it somewhere else (there is no more on amazon).
Thank you so much if you have an idea.
Hello, the pattern on the website is for which size? Can I get the pattern & how much material used for the large size? Thanks this looks lovely!
Saving this one to watch again later
omg yes, i feel like i finally understand this now!! (other videos i've watched are so confusing!) thanks!
Can be done oval shape base, even rectangle? I need a basket for blankets next to my couch and needs to be rectangle or oval. ...... anyway a very good tutorial. Thank you
Thank you so much! I've been wanting to try a basket with clothesline but wasn't sure how to start. I might try it with the piping like you did instead.
Your basket looks so even & lovely! I am definitely going to try to create something similar!
💕🎀🌸💚🌈💛❤🧡
Am also going to make it as soon as i can 😊 actually I was looking for such video thanks sweetie ❤️
The large basket reminds me of a basinet basket for a newborn.
I'm gonna make this 😊 how many yds are u using for the piping? Thank u so much for this pattern 😊

I would just sew them together. It's so much easier to keep it seamless that way.
Love those baskets, very clever indeed 😘
This is gorgeous! Cannot wait to try to make one. Just wondering if thinner piping is available.
Wow so beautiful design
What a great pattern! I made baskets using 3 strands of 4 weight yarn and they turned out beautifully but my hands are still very sore and it’s been months. I look forward to trying this, thank you for a great tutorial! I’ve subscribed!
This is gorgeous!
Nice job and good instruction!
Can you give some more information on the piping I’d really like to try it but not sure where I can get it from
I just asked the same questions. I see she hasn't responded to you yet, but the video is 3 years old. I love her work! Hopefully, we get the answers, but I think we can move forward without them too. If you hadn't noticed, in the description, she's provided links to each product. Follow them and there you might find the answers you seek. Great video, right? Take care and best wishes to you 😊
Found written pattern thanks
Lovely video! Do you use the piping core because it's lighter than rope?
Ooh 13 stitches over 8; Fibonacci would be proud.
WHOA! Beginner's? Crochet looks hard! 🥺 I got excited and thought I could make this. Nope!
True. I’m not a beginner, but this does look a bit challenging. I need a written pattern. Is there one?
Holy moly! This is awesome Thanks😍
Really great tutorial. My basket base always curls up and I've tried everything I can find online to stop that and nothing is helping. Anyone have pointers?
Do I have to use that king of yarn or can I use regular worsen yard
