- Artisan Market Baskets mix scrap yarns of any weights from fingering to bulky, and mix any fiber types! Make a beautiful tweed basket in a small or large size.
Artisan Market Baskets are excellent sellers at craft fairs! Recommended pricing: at least $40 for small baskets and at least $80-100 for large baskets. Popular with other crafters and great for storing yarn. Makes a lovely housewarming present when you put a house plant inside!
Artisan Market Baskets are crocheted with 7 strands of yarn held together as one. 8 mm hook. All single crochet stitches in US terms.
Skill level: advanced beginner because it can be tricky to crochet with 7 strands at once. The single crochet stitch itself is simple.
Crochet pattern: Artisan Market Baskets from my book Crochet Southwest Spirit: Over 20 Bohemian Patterns Inspired By The American Southwest. Available on Amazon here: amzn.to/3Wodr0J or check it out at your local public library!
Small basket requires about 1 1/4 pounds or 550 grams of mixed yarn scraps, fingering to bulky/chunky weight. That is about half of a typical plastic grocery bag full.
Large basket requires about 2 1/4 pounds or 1 kg of mixed yarn scraps. That is a full plastic grocery bag of yarn scraps.
You can tie knots to join yarns, leaving 3-inch tails to crochet over as shown in the tutorial.
Long handles required about 60 inches (152 cm) of 3/4 inch wide (2 cm wide) faux leather strap per basket. Short handles require about 18-20 inches (46-51 cm) strap. Here is the faux leather strap I used on Amazon: a.co/d/j8n6KHF.
I use a Susan Bates brand 8 mm aluminum crochet hook with a bamboo handle. You can buy it for $5.49 USD at Joann.com. www.joann.com/susan-bates-bam...

Susan - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I had a stroke 5 years ago and have struggled to regain my crochet ability. I've always been a craft crazed maniac and I just tried this method of the bulky 7 strand and larger hook just to see and I can do it!!! I'm so excited and thankful!!! I'm ordering your book today and will be getting one going this week!! I must have been guided to your channel...Thank you so much.
Amazing! I am so glad you can crochet this project. Good for you for getting back to crafting. I am a neuroscientist in my day job and I love to hear about the ways our brains heal.
😢
That’s what I did after my stroke. I have cancer as well so knitting n crocheting or quilting w larger needles has really helped me get my strength back in my hands. I’m looking at a really big surgery on knee and femur so I’m looking for projects to do while laid up.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Yay!!! May your stroke symptoms get better day by day. May our God heal your body and strengthen you with His hope. You are not alone. You ARE loved, forever ❤
Could you do an oval pattern??
I TAUGHT MYSELF TO CROCHET WHEN I WAS 72YRS.OLD WITH HELP FROM UTUBE TUTORIALS. BAG O DAY, JAYDA, LOTS OF ENLAND TEACHERS. I CAN'T READ A PATTERN
You get the TH-cam award for excellent instruction, as far as I’m concerned!! Your video and detailed instructions are incredibly helpful. I am 5 rows away from completing my first (large) basket, and I am hooked! Pun intended! Thanks for this video, but more importantly, thanks for making the world a kinder place by putting it out there for all of us.
This is one of the best how to do anything videos I've ever seen!!! The angle of the camera is perfect and her explanations are simple helpful and not overly verbose. I can see and understand everything she is doing. Teachers stand up and take notes.
Wow!! Thank you so much for showing us how to make this basket!!! Your instructions are clear and I think I can do it. If I start now I may be able to make them for my whole family for Christmas. Really, that was very generous for you to take 2 hours out of your life and share that for free. Thank you for your kindness!!!!
❤
What a great tutorial! I hadn't picked up my hook in quite a while. I am almost done making my first basket and I can see how these would become addicting. For this basket, I just picked up all the odd scrap yarns that I had left over from projects past. When I initially started, I couldn't deal with fussing with all the different skeins, so I stopped, unraveled the beginnings and went ahead and rolled all my yarns into balls. My husband came up with the brilliant idea of throwing them into a large wire cage type basket and running the various yarns thru different spots in the cage, so they never get tangled. I did have to move up to a larger hook, but the result is still beautiful. Thank you!!!
One of the super things I find about this project is that I can use different weight yarns, some thin, some thick, all together. This is perfect for me as I am learning to spin cotton thread and right now my yarn is a little inconsistant, to say the least. Slubby, thick in parts, thin in others, etc. I can use this imperfect yarn for this basket and nobody would know! Thank you for this tutorial. It was awesome!
I have used ice cream roving yarn for blankets and I love how the thickness of the yarn changes. It just adds a little character to them. So I dont consider inconsistent yarn a bad thing. Just thought I would share that. Enjoy your yarn!
Thank you so much for your tutorial and especially for not using any music! I have a hard time understanding voice instructions whenever there is background "noise" at the same time. I have crocheted for more than 60 years, but I learned something from your video that will help me to improve my work!!!! I love it when that happens!🤣
Susan, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your gorgeous craft with all of us who love crocheting.
Looks awesome! I’ve done 3 at once. 7 strands seems ambitious. I will give it a go! Thanks for the ideas! ❤🎉 I bet without handles and a bit shorter they would make great pet beds!
Yes! I can attest to that - my toy poodle crawled up into my basket several times while I was working on the sides... LOL!
I'm going to show this video to my 85 year old mother. She always has a stash of wool and enjoys new projects. You have such a beautiful smile and a lovely energy, thank you for this video, it is very inspirational and uplifting :o)
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have been a knitter for 40 years, but have only been able to master single crochet. This video has given me the confidence to delve deeper into crochet! I started my large basket this morning and just finished it! It's fabulous 🎉❤
I did it. finished my first small basket. Made it the perfect size for a plant holder I have. and thank you so much for the inspiration.
What a brilliant idea to use the yarns that we bought for other projects that did not come to light. Or the hook! I love the idea of using different weights of yarn. So brilliant! Appreciate the mention of the price. Currently, not there at being a vendor but as a Nana my beautiful granddaughter keeps me busy with ideas that at times keep me away from the sewing of quilts. Thank you for sharing such talent that is so inspirational and connects with life.
I am glad you mentioned the pricing !! This looks like a great basket/bag. I have tons of scrap I have to use up.
I am do excited to try this. My crochet skills are the beginner level. I am pretty sure I can do this 🙏
Such a beautiful bag. I’ve made 2 now and have trouble with twisting yarn. Ugh. But the result is so incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
this is an amazing pattern and fairly quick to make up! at the time stamp 49:55 where your dog barks scared the bejeezus out of me! haha! its 1am here and I've got 2 babies under 2 and i thought my dog was in the other room and was barking at the door.. i had the heartstopping panic of "oh no! theyre gonna wake up!"
Thank you! Sorry, I probably should have edited out those barks. My Rosie pup is a nanny dog for sure. She only barks when a man comes to the door or when my 3 boys are playing too rowdy! 😅
Thank you for sharing. I'm 68yrs. I've been crocheting off and on for yrs , never made basket 🧺 before.
This is one of the best basket tutorials I have seen. You explain everything so clearly. Thank you for such a lovely tutorial. I'm subscribed now and keeping an eye on your channel. . 👍 💗 👍
I'm not only a yarn addict, but a colorful big bag addict too ! That's a very fair price for them too, Susan. If I'm able to hold a hook this size, I'm giving this pattern a try. 🥰
I just can't get enough of your designs! Thank you so much Susan 🧶💜
I went right to Amazon and ordered the strapping and I started a bag/basket. I'm about 3/4 finished!!! So excited. I took 3 hrs today and caked up yarn on the winder. I held 3 strands together and made cakes! I thought this would be much easier to manage!
I'm addicted now!!!!!
My husband loves them too. He would like me to make a tall one for a clothes hamper in the bathroom. I'm going to give it a try!
Thank you again! 🧶💛
Please come back and tell how it went. How tall you made the basket and how much yarn (weight) you used for it.
I'm from Kenya ,please can guide me on how I can get your book?
What a great idea! ❤

These are gorgeous and I have so much yarn. I need to make some of these to get rid of some of it. Thank you. You are amazing
Very much appreciate your beautiful and useful baskets. Thanks dearly for sharing how to crochet them and add straps.
My hands are aching watching this!! But, that won’t stop me!
So glad I stumbled across this video. I now know what to do with my moms stash of yarn that i inherited. She had so much I was overwhelmed with the amount. Now I'm glad I got it.
Thank you dear lady for keeping us informed. Yes, we must hold compassion for the children and continue to pray for them. 🙏💫
I attempted to order your book only to find out it was on back order. I made use of the time to collect and sort my yarns and watch your video a thousand times! Pleasantly surprised that it will be arriving in a few days instead of projected delivery mid June! Now I am getting all my chores done as I anticipate doing nothing but crocheting these gorgeous bags for a bit!! Thanks for great tutorial!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tutorial. I used to crochet when I was younger and would love to do it again. You have inspired me with your beautiful baskets! They are truly lovely! And so are you! 🫠Sending much aloha across the miles!🌈🌺🙋♀️
I just finished making one of these and I am so pleased by how it turned out! I used one strand of a bulky 100% wool and two strands of a fingering-weight thin yarn held together and it is a nice sturdy basket with a few less strands than you used, but I am so pleased to be using up some of my stash yarns that I did not know what to do with! Thanks for posting
Hi Susan🫶🏼 you totally crack me up when you say something (like sew in the ends one at a time so they don’t show) then you subtly giggle. It’s like in your head you are saying “yeah right Susan, as if they won’t show “. I laugh at loud at your wit!
This is a fantastic tutorial and I thank you for your time sharing. 🙏🏼 I definitely want to buy your beautiful book 📕
Great job❣️❣️ LeeAnne Ray
I love the baskets you make. Thank you so much for sharing the technique.🎉
I absolutely love this watching you do the whole tutorial on how to make these bags. Thank you very much.
This bag cost me over 60.00 to make. I used cotton yarn.(with fake leather straps- I bought two thin belts at a discount store)
And I only did the 10 rows of the round part.
It took me about 6 hours to make.
I do also just cotton 😅 and it is expensive 😢.
@@lydiakress6570 yes. If you want to take it up a notch, use twine from the dollar tree and mix in one strand. It makes it more of a beach bag.
And sturdier. And it’s not as expensive as the yarn. I think I used 5 of them.
I'm not sure what it is but sure that I will look it up thank you blessing.
I'll bet this would be a good stashbuster
You must be a living Saint with all the great things you do for others.
Thank you, I now know what l’m making my mother in law for Mother’s Day.
Hi Susan. I am watching your video, sittong in the garden in Boston Lincolnshire UK. Whilst , I can knit I have never mastered the art of crochet. I am going to attempt to make your basket, starting with the small one. They are absolutely beautiful and a great way to use up my scrap stash.....Thank you for sharing. Also, going to look for your book on Amazon ❤
I’m going to try these for grocery shopping when I go to farmers markets thank you ❤
Hi Susan, bought your book last year when another TH-camr promoted it following their trip to AZ. Slowly working my way through your projects online and from the book. Love your patterns and tutorials! ❤
My home state making me proud! Life-long crocheter and I love this! I'll be purchasing your book and making these. Thank you!
I am making a basket with 4 yarns because 2 are chunky and the other 2 are bulky. I tried with an 8mm and had to switch to a 9mm. It's coming out tight. It is definitely likely to not be a floppy basket. Thank you so much for the tutorial! ❤
I literally stopped working on a cardigan to start this basket 😂
OMG, same!!
Unfortunately, I don’t have the mental capacity to watch your beautiful work. However, I did want to stop and tell you how beautiful your bags are.
I love your pattern can’t wait to try it
I am proud to say I bought the book crochet southwest spirit. And I really love it . Thanks 😊
Thanks for your support! 💗
I have lots of yarn that I was going to sell. Now I am going to make baskets instead! Thank you for sharing! I just ordered your book , cannot wait to start!
I make pretty much the same thing but crochet the handles also using my scrap yarn and going with up to 12 strands at a time. I call them my forever bags. The one i have kept i crocheted over 20 years ago.
I used to teach young girls from 9-14 how to knit and crochet with me providing the yarn leaving me with many acrylic (cheaper) leftovers. On top of that people have been very happy to give me their mom's stash that they didnt want to throw away as many dont realize thrift stores will accept them. Sometimes i do them totally random, when one ball ends i just grab another random one. Sometimes i have combined randome with one color stripes or to create a heart on one side for instance. The straps are wide enough to enable you to carry alot of weight. One time i weighed out the library booksi i was carrying and it was 23 lbs but still easy on my shoulder.
Have also used it for refrigerated or frozen foods because it is like an insulated bag ensuring things are still cold when i get home.
If something leaks its ok because i can just was and dry on heat which tightens it up a little so it never gets stretched out of shape.
I never had a problem selling them for $75-$100 each depending on the style which would vary a little. It was always feel like an accomplishment to complete one for someone because it was personalized for each person, they were quick to make, cleared out my stash and since i have always done them in single crochet so they never required total focus.
Glad to see someone else doing the same thing.
I don't know how to crotchet but listening to your voice is like a day at the spa. You could make a fortune doing guided meditations. I also might try crocheting lol
Thank you! 💗
Thank you for your very generous and thorough tutorial. Even though I’ve even crocheting for many years, I still find myself learning. I’ll be ordering your book.
Have you ever thought about put each ball of yarn in a soda bottles. Like cute it on the middle and pull the yarn string from the top or maybe a plastic container with 7 holes or those wine cartons boxes that have separations. It might work. Just some ideas 🤷♀️.
Thanks so much for showing us these beautiful baskets and how you make them. I’ve been making and selling rag rugs but for the past few months I’ve been searching for something new. This is it!!
I will try this one day in the future. Btw Love your laugh.
Oh my word I've got to show this to my daughter and granddaughter 😊🤗
Love it .
I've got left over yarn from project's and this is a great way to use it 😊 and have bags that can be used for a variety of things !!
These are so beautiful! Thank you so much for showing us how to make them!❤
I'm working on basket 2 of the small version. The 2nd is a gift for a friend who keeps helping me when I cannot return the favor. I'll see her next week and plan to give it to her as a thank you. I've had to figure out how to get the occasional stray popout on the inside to go back inside, but I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have found this video! Thank you for allowing us to make and sell your basket idea! This will help me repay a small loan I just had to take out to fix my Subaru, and I find yarn stashes all the time I can use to make these beauties!
I am new to crochet. Your instructions are clear and your video is easy to follow. I can't wait to make my first basket! I am so glad your channel popped up on my feed.
Just got notice--your book is coming today!!! I can hardly wait!!!!! 💖💕💖💕
Love these baskets. Perfect for a picnic , grocery bag, beach bag. I love them. Thankyou for sharing with us.
I can't wait to make my own. Great tutorial. Super cool pattern. Thank you. ❤
I liked your ideas of using scrap yarns, very cleaver and very pretty with multiple colors!
I also made and sold quite a few tote bags but I used plastic shopping bags (Plarn) that I cut into stripes, connecting them together then I crocheted them (I also did single crocheted) into tote bags, water bottles carriers, mats and a few others odds-ends.
I started making them from plastic chopping bags to keeping them from end up in the landfill. I have had many friends saving plastic shopping bags for me which most people gladly saved and gave them to me. Thank you very much for sharing your beautiful works!
Wow, thank you so much for your prompt reply regarding the make of the crochet hook.
I absolutely love all of your pieces, and have ordered your book, however truly love your TH-cam channel and detailed video of how to make them.
You are great!!
Absolutely beautiful! I've loved baskets forever and will definitely give this a go! Thank you for your generosity - sharing your craft and passion for it here. It's what connects us all over the world. x
I lived in Bayfield Colorado in the 80s. 😊. Loved it there. Planning on making these as gifts. Thank you
My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 10. I'm now 68 and still crocheting, among other hobbies! I love this tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make it. It is very well done. I'm going to get the book.
Thank you! 💗 I love crochet. So peaceful and productive.
My aunt taught me around 5-6 yo & I've been crafting ever since.
I would have bought one of your baskets! They are beautiful and I just ordered your book!
Wow! What a great tutorial! You inspire me to make these with Buffalo yarn as I live in Canada. Thank you!!
I am starting a crochet group for older crocheter day the senior apartments and I am going to share this videos so we can use up all our scraps . I did this with a blanket using 3 strands and used so many different colors . It came out great and everyone loves it . I made it for my son . His friends have made requests for scrapghan . But I have to make this basket
Thank You!!! As if I don't have enough projects ongoing, I ran to Hobby Lobby to get a few things I would need that I couldn't lay my hands on (yes, they're in the sewing room somewhere!) so I could get started tonight! Normally I use sewing machines to make what I do, but having something to take with me wherever is nice. I love, love, love these bags!!!!
Thank you so much for your generosity in providing us with a complete make of your lovely totes ! I’m going to start !
Love the basket, looks like something i could actually do. Also love your video very easy to follow as the instructions are clearly explained.
It's a beautiful basket. Thank you for sharing.
What an excellent tutorial Susan! Thank you for sharing your time and your pattern. I also appreciate that you shared metric sizing. ♥
Peace ✌🏾🕊️ and blessings 🧶
Thank you so much for sharing this basket! I already made one and your instructions are easy to follow! Thanks again! 🌷
I'm making the large one now and I'm on row 14 and loving it all ready! Thank you for sharing! Also, this basket brought me to your channel. 😊
I love your little chuckle!
These look quite similar to a few baskets I've made. I only worked with three yarn skeins at a time, and changed one color out for another periodically to give the overall basket the appearance of a color gradient. I didn't use leather for the straps, but now that I've seen your beautiful baskets I will. I crocheted my straps, but leather really is the perfect touch. Your work is lovely.
A million Thank Yous❤ Love from South Africa❤
Love your tip of the plastic bag for sizing your basket!
Wow 😳 another beautiful item to make. Thank you 😊
Thank you for this tutorial. I have finally found a use for all the scrap yarn I have collected over the past 6 years. In order to make sure everything is center pull I take the time to put it on my yarn winder (2 strands at a time) and wind it up. It makes the crochet a lot easier.
Wonderful baskets. I usually have trouble watching others crochet but I taught myself, so I am thinking it must be really nice to have people learning together.
I can't wait to make one of these! Thank you for your generous tutorial.
I love your work around for weighing. So simple and sensible.
I started this today- I love the hint about filling a plastic bag to know how much yarn it takes. I also think it might be impossible to make an ugly basket purse. The yarn mixture makes it so interesting! Thank you for sharing this! I also ordered your book- the projects look amazing- can't wait to start.
This tutorial has got me SUPER excited...I have a huge amount of scraps...been looking for something to do with them that I really liked... thx u much for sharing. Your instructions and suggestions are great!!! Will start today working on birthday gifts ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!!! Unfortunately, I did not get to finish the bag. My princess decided it was for her instead and now all the cats want one, and the family's cats, and the neighbor's cats and small dogs, and friends...
I love this. ❤️
I guess it would be easy to make an oval base too. And thank you so much for sharing
I’m also thinking about cutting strips of fabric, running them through a bias binding tool and having all sorts of fun!
These are so beautiful, I need to make one. Thanks for posting this video with the instructions, you’re very generous. ❤
I'm 57 years old and just started crocheting this year. So far, I've made a couple of baby blankets and a couple of throws. I've also made lots of washcloths, which are popular with my family and friends. I am currently working on a granny square blanket, but would love to give the basket a try next! You make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing!
Best CAL ever!!!!!!❤
Beautiful baskets Susan! Can’t wait to make one!!☺️🧶
Beautiful basket and awesome tutorial. Beautiful southwest jewelry that you are wearing.
I USED TO MAKE THIS BAG OUT OF PLASTIC BAGS CUT INTO STRIPS. Great tutorial.
It was sure eater resistant.
Would be great to line it.
I am going to do a denim strap.
You have the sweetest voice. I think I might be able to do this!
I just received your book and I love it. The pictures are so beautiful 🤩. Thank you so much for including some of the history and culture of the people.❤❤
Thank you for making this tutorial. I love your baskets!
That’s a great price for a basket, or a tote. I’m an artist myself and I paint with watercolors. I’m always looking for a tote to carry my paint, brushes , water bottle and paper in. Im going to give this a try. Thanks for the video! 🙌🏻
Wow! I love this. And how generous of you to do this video. Thank you!
I love these baskets. This is perfect for all my left over yarns. Thanks ❤
Thanks for teaching and sharing, blessing to you!!!!! ❤
