      @@CrochetWithJulie As you go into the West Glacier entrance (over a bridge) there is a Glacier Park sign. Tradition is you stop a take a group photo. That where my photo was taken. Those grandkids are all grown up now. The weather is perfect now and the smoky skies are gone. Warm days and cool nights. I have many favorite spots but for a first timer I would go into Apgar Village to the visitor center. You will get a great map on entrance. Poke around there for a bit, next stop Lake MacDonald Lodge. One of the first lodges for early old time visitors. Sorry I wrote so much...lol . I do love the Park.

    Your instructions seem to be so much easier than others that I have watched. My question is am I missing something because you are the first person not to chain at the beginning of each row. Are you doing the DC continuously around without any chains or slip stitch to end the row? If that is the case it is amazingly so much easier. Thank you for that!

    • @CrochetWithJulie
      @CrochetWithJulie  2 года назад

      Thank you so much! And yes, this pattern is a little bit funky in that you won’t need to start and stop your rows, as they should act like a spiral. For the increasing rows that form the base of the basket, I usually use a scrap piece of yarn to mark the 1st stitch in each row. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further information and I am happy to try to help 😀

    Hi how to make it stand straight rather than collapsing

    • @CrochetWithJulie
      @CrochetWithJulie  3 года назад

      Hello! This shouldn't really collapse, but if you want it to be sturdier than you see in the video, I would recommend crocheting with more strands of yarn simultaneously and working with a larger crochet hook. But, three strands at once will hold its form and not topple over. Happy crocheting!

      That is an excellent suggestion and I could see that really helping. For scrap yarn, the yarn lengths are very different, and I could see rolling them into one ball to be a little bit of a mess, but if you are working with full skeins, I think this is amazing!

    • @CrochetWithJulie
      @CrochetWithJulie  3 года назад

      I LOVE that idea! I just want to make sure I understand. Do you mean that you want to edge the top of the basket by placing your SC stitches in the opposite direction? If so, I have done this before and it looks really nice. If not, then let me know and disregard all the below info lol!
      • If you are doing this along with the handles, then after placing the initial row of CH stitches for the handles, I would place a few SL st between the handles and then CH 1, reverse your SC stitches in the opposite direction, and then SL st into your 1st SC st of that row (I hope this makes sense lol). If you want your edging to be more dramatic, then add an additional row, but I have found with the 3 strands that 1 row of edging is plenty.
      • If you want to replace the handles with a simple edge, I would get the basket to your desired height, and then place 4-5 SL st in the next 4-5 st. CH 1 from there and then place your SC st in reverse order. When you get to the end of your row, SL st into the top of your 1st SC st. If you want to add additional rows, just CH 1 and keep going. :)
      I really hope this helps, but if not, please let me know and I will be happy to brainstorm this with you.
      Happy crocheting!

    i was wondering if you can do it with one strand?

    • @CrochetWithJulie
      @CrochetWithJulie  4 года назад +1

      It is funny that you say that because I've been playing around with one strand patterns! I'd switch to a size 5/F crochet hook (or similar), work with a HDC increasing base, and then HDC in the back stitch for building the height. I don't think it would be nearly as sturdy as with three strands, but I think it would work. I have a two strand version of that here: ruclips.net/video/tH3pafHeQf4/видео.html if you want to get an idea of what I'm saying. This is a great idea though, and if I can get it to sit upright, I'll definitely make a tutorial for it!

      @@marthatorres3023 For this video, I just weaved in new colors as I ran out of a strand of yarn (around 4:17 in the video). If you wanted to change out all three strands at the same time and not have it look uneven, I would place 10-15 slip stiches, yarning over with the new colors on the last SL, then CH 1 and continue placing SC. In my opinion, this pattern works best when you change one strand at a time and try to space them out if you can. It gives it a fun look without looking patterned. I hope this helped ☺️

      @CrochetWithJulie  3 года назад +1

      I don’t know if that would do it as long as it is consistent. I’m not sure how far you are in the pattern, but I think it should get better after the increasing rows. It might help to set it down flat when you take breaks (if it is only cupping a little bit). If it is cupping a lot, it might help to increase by 13 or 14 stitches each row rather than 12. I can write that pattern out for you if you would like.

      @CrochetWithJulie  3 года назад +1

      @@lahirko1961 I am so sorry it has been so difficult! These are the patterns for increasing by 13 & 14 stitches in each row rather than 12. This should help with the cupping (I am hoping). These patterns will make your basket a little bit wider, so if you don't want that, then leave off the last row of increasing. Since this is continuous loop, you can also stop anywhere in the middle of the last row and begin placing 1 SC in each st in the row from this point, instead of at the end of the row. Also, it might be helpful to turn the basket inside out once you are done increasing and then place 1 SC in each st in each row. Sometimes that is enough to get it to straighten out. I'm sorry again that this has been tough! Try to make sure that you are holding the three strands evenly as well. I know when I started crocheting with multiple strands, sometimes I would accidentally pull one strand tighter than the others and that would cause the pattern to bunch slightly.
      Increase by 13 st each row:
      Magic Circle (MC)
      Row 1: 13 DC inside MC.
      Row 2: 2 DC in each of the 13 DC from the previous row (26 total st at the end of the row). Use a scrap piece of yarn to mark your 1st st of each row, so you know where your row starts and should end.
      Row 3: *1 DC in 1st st, 2 DC in 2nd st.* Repeat * around the row. (39 total st at the end of the row).
      Row 4: *1 DC in st 1 and st 2, 2 DC in st 3.* Repeat * around the row (52 total st at the end of the row).
      Row 5: *1 DC in st 1, 2, and 3, 2 DC in st 4.* Repeat * around the row (65 total st at the end of the row).
      Rows 6 - desired height: Place 1 SC in each st of the row. Repeat until the basket reaches your desired height.
      Increase by 14 st each row:
      Magic Circle (MC)
      Row 1: 14 DC inside MC.
      Row 2: 2 DC in each of the 14 DC from the previous row (28 total st at the end of the row). Use a scrap piece of yarn to mark your 1st st of each row, so you know where your row starts and should end.

      Row 5: *1 DC in st 1, 2, and 3, 2 DC in st 4.* Repeat * around the row (70 total st at the end of the row).
