Learn how to crochet a basket with 1/2-inch thick rope, using your fingers rather than a crochet hook to make the stitches. In the class, you will learn where to get the materials (cotton rope or felted wool yarn), how to make single crochet stitches in a circle to create a flat bottom, and then how to build the sides of the basket with slip stitches. There are also instructions for adding optional leather handles.
These baskets are great for storing craft supplies, toys, books, and other household items. The crochet pattern creates very sturdy sides.Size: The basket is approximately 10 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall, although yours may come out slightly different. If you wanted to adjust the size of the basket, you could make a bigger or smaller ring of stitches before starting your side stitches.Difficulty: Easy and beginner-friendly. It is helpful if you already know how to make a single crochet stitch. But since it feels a little different to crochet with rope and your fingers, you don't need to have prior crochet experience. Since the rope is much more stiff than yarn, it is a little harder on your hands. The stitches will be tight, especially for the first 2 rows. By the third row, you start working into just the back loops of stitches, which is a lot easier.
