In addition to counting stiches, I've found it helpful to use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch, moving it to the first stitch of each row as I go.
Because you said to have the instructions alongside of us and you stopped at some point in the tutorial, I had to print them out..... AND I AM NOT ABLE TO READ PATTERNS...... BUT I DID, THIS TIME! I’m so proud of myself and thank you so much ☺️
The level of patience you have for teaching us on your videos, is just tremendous. I am struggling with crocheting, and I truly appreciate your teaching skills. I felt bad that your hand was in so much pain. I have chronic fibromyalgia, and I kept saying out loud.. stop!! You can come back later or tomorrow!! Its fine!!! But I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos are the best.
I want to compliment you! You look so beautiful! Love your hair color, your outfit, and your heart necklace You’re a fantastic teacher and I really enjoy your tutorials! ❤️
Hi Marly. Good Morning. I really Love your work, your yarns. Beautiful. I love the idea of crocheted baskets for not only decorating parts of our homes, but for organizing them too. Another new obsession, is your floor pouf. Stay safe
Thank you for this tutorial ! Finally one that actually shows me how to properly crochet. I’m a visual learner so this video was very helpful! Thanks !
I made the large basket and it turned out great. It worked up very fast too. I tried that last crab stitch(?) row and I love it. It felt kind of funny at first working backwards but it looks very nice. Thanks for a really good tutorial.
Hello, I am not a beginner, so I fast forwarded through some if this, but I have to say you are an amazing teacher! One of the best tutorials I’ve seen. And that candy basket is adorable, thanks for the pattern. I just subbed😀
My next project for sure thank you for excellent tutorial. Just getting back into crochet after 5 year break, I find it easier & faster than knotting. If I make a boo boo it’s easily fixed as well.
Wonderful tutorial. Be sure to read pattern and not just watch video. Also, careful not to forget chain stitch after completing each row. Love this basket!
Halfway Crochet On the sides, after I slip stitch and chain 1, should I put my first single crochet into the next stitch? Or into the same stitch where I put the chain 1? My first basket looked a bit strange Im wondering if I made a mistake there. 🙂
Hey there!! I just made my first basket. I made the large one specifically for my yarn projects I’m working on and I absolutely love it🥰 I’m a beginner and I’ve picked up pretty fast but this pattern was pretty easy! I used 2 1/2 skeins of “yarn bee” 🧶 “effortless super bulky” size 6 with a size10mm crochet hook (a 9mm would have worked better but I didn’t have one) I used the colors in biscotti and eggnog and omg it turned out awesome! I started the base with “biscotti” up to the first 10 rows then 5 rows of the “eggnog” then 5 of “biscotti”. Then I started the handle with “eggnog” up to 4 rows then the very cool crab stitch you shared!!! It’s sooooo stinkin’ adorable!! Thank you for the video! This won’t be my last basket! #yarnlover #crochetaddict #makingprettythings #marlybirdfan
I love your work.and they have a copper fit glove you can wear on your hand to help.also some your hand in Epson salt.Massage your hand with blue mineral ice . Thank you for the basket.
You are sooooooooo much fun !!! I made a second basket with two extra rows on the bottom because I need it for some worsted weight yarn. I can't wait to get both of them together with sock weight in one and worsted weight in the other.
Thank you for this very clear and easy to follow tutorial. I just made a medium basket to keep my yarn and work in progress, to be easy to move and store around the house, it's perfect. I made it with a thick ribbon yarn and it looks great, I can imagine how good it would also look with jersey yarn as a way to recycle old t-shirts and tights... the crab stitch border is a great addition, it's one of my favourite crochet border and I was thinking about adding that too, so it made me laugh when I saw I'd had the same idea as you. I'll probably be making a lot more in the future as it comes together so quickly and would make such a nice gift!
I love that cute mini basket! So sorry your hand was hurting, I've gone through that too when working with multiple strands of yarn and single crocheting. Glad you made this video tutorial!
You did excellent Marly, I could feel your pain cause I actually injured my wrist last year in the same way and it took 9 months to heal. There were times I thought I wouldn't be able to crochet again but after it healed, I had to change how I crochet and knit. There are some patterns I'd love to do but just can't for fear of re-injuring my wrist. Multiple strands, smaller hooks, and tight stitches I have to avoid. But, just glad I can still crochet and knit, I love it so much! Take care of your hands girl cause we need Marly Bird vid tutorials!! LOL! Hugs from Oregon!
Thank you so much for this great video,, I'm working in me a Dallas Cowboys, basket for this football season,, and I FREAKING LOVE IT 💖💖💖💖THANK YOU 💖💖😁😃🎁
I’m using this pattern to make a pet bed-once I work to the sides of the basket I’ll move to 2 strands and then once I reach twice the height that I want turn over the side and crochet it back to the first row of the side.
I added the crab stitch at the bottom on the front loop that we didn't use. It's cool looking. Not that the pattern needed it, I just like that stitch :)
Hello my name is Francis Thompson I found out it Is easy for me to use stitch markers when makeing the Handles the count comes out a lot easier for me that you for sharing have a BLESS DAY ( STARTING ON MY SECOND BASKET LOVE THEM.
Just came across your tutorial...very informative & interesting...thx...btw you're a stunning lady & I love how I can see what you are doing with your yarn how the camera is situated, interesting view. 🙂
This was great, what about different shapes like squares, oblong, etc. I want to make something for Christmas to give to my friends. Love the finish. Thank you so much.
Sure, you could adjust the stitch count and go by measurements instead ;-) I think that would make a great basket. In fact...maybe I will give that a try :-)
Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve been looking for a descriptive video for crocheting a basket; your videos are great! It’s always so hard to find a step by step tutorial that makes sense to me lol. I was wondering if you could maybe do a video of getting the cotton twine from the dollar tree and make a basket? I just have a lot of it at my house and I was wondering if that could work?
Marley, you mention to use RedHeart With Love yarn? The pattern says Supersaver. Which should be used or either?obtain the gauge. RED HEART® Super Saver®, Art. E300available in solid color 7 oz (198 g), 364 yds (333 m); stripes, prints, multis and heathers 5 oz (141 g), 236 yds (215 m); flecks 5 oz (141 g), 260 yds (238 m) skeins
Thank you so much for this detailed and clear tutorial (from a newbie, this has been super helpful). This is the first project that I'm actually happy enough with that I haven't yanked everything out to start over on something else. That said, I accidentally did Round 2 up the sides (doing the large basket), on back loops only before realizing that that was just for Round 1 of the sides. Do I need to yank out all of these (Round 2 sides), or can I continue and then get back on track on Round 3? Thanks so much!
I've been asked to make a laundry basket... I will be using t-shirt yarn that I will make ... Would you by any chance have a patter for one or would you suggest making your large basket and make it taller?
Love these baskets!!!thank you so much for your clear explanation!! Off topic ....your nail polish is beautiful-what color and brand is your nailpolish??? Thanks Marley!!
Hi All. I know I’m super late joining in but I just found this tutorial and I LOVE it!!! Please Help! I’m beginner intermediate but wanna give this a try!... How do I make an even bigger basket? How many rows, etc., for a 16” or a 20” or 24” and taller basket??? I need two 16” baskets for my fiddle leaf pots and a very large laundry basket? Also, could you show how to make different handles that overhang? Thank you soooooooo much!!!

I love that cute mini basket! So sorry your hand was hurting, I've gone through that too when working with multiple strands of yarn and single crocheting. Glad you made this video tutorial!
Yes, multiple strands and a tight gauge really mess my hand up. I tried :-)

Made the small one and it’s absolutely lovely. Your tutorial was fantastic and I also get that pain in my thumb area. Anyway, thank you!
I’m using this pattern to make a pet bed-once I work to the sides of the basket I’ll move to 2 strands and then once I reach twice the height that I want turn over the side and crochet it back to the first row of the side.
You explained it so well! Thank you so much for this tutorial :)

Love these!! I’ll be making some this week 😊! Thank you another great tutorial. You are an awesome instructor 🙌🙌
Marly - You are so beautiful! Thanks for the fun project and great instructions.
Oh, thank you so much for the compliments :-)
Awesome,basket and explanation too.
I want to make some of these for laundry baskets! Thanks for the video.
OH. That is a GREAT idea!
Mary Rad that was my exact thought!! I'm thinking the cotton yarns will add some stiffness to it too. We shall see. Pray for me as I fight the cotton
Is the large basket big enough for a laundry basket tho?
@@emilyfarris3996 you can always adjust the pattern
Brilliant tutorial, so clear, so informative. Thank you - can't wait to do one myself :)
Excellent tutorial. Feel like I learned a lot. Thank you!
What a great video, you did a perfect job explaining, I can’t wait to get started....thank you

Awesome tutorial. I can't wait to try this. I have a load of SuperSaver that I'd love to work down. I'm seeing stripes in my future. :D
YESSSSS
This is an amazing tutorial (finally I found a good one) but I really don’t know what I’m doing😂
was a very helpful video would be great to explain to us how you put fabrik inside the baskets too tyvm..and hello from beautifull greece
This was great, what about different shapes like squares, oblong, etc. I want to make something for Christmas to give to my friends. Love the finish. Thank you so much.
I love your baskets! Can they also be done with just one bulky yarn instead of three strands? Thank you for all your tutorials.
Sure, you could adjust the stitch count and go by measurements instead ;-) I think that would make a great basket. In fact...maybe I will give that a try :-)
Thank you for this tutorial! I’ve been looking for a descriptive video for crocheting a basket; your videos are great! It’s always so hard to find a step by step tutorial that makes sense to me lol.

thank you. I always use Shellac nail polish. I'm sorry, but I don't know the color name as my nail salon just assigns numbers to each color :-)
Hi All. I know I’m super late joining in but I just found this tutorial and I LOVE it!!!
Please Help! I’m beginner intermediate but wanna give this a try!...
How do I make an even bigger basket? How many rows, etc., for a 16” or a 20” or 24” and taller basket???
I need two 16” baskets for my fiddle leaf pots and a very large laundry basket?
Also, could you show how to make different handles that overhang?
Thank you soooooooo much!!!
The best place to start is with the pattern. Take a look at that for larger sizes. :-) I am so happy you enjoy this video.
Marly Bird , thank you!!! I will certainly try the large pattern one!
