by | posted in: Crochet projects, crochet pumpkin, Thanksgiving, Uncategorized | 0

Have you started working on your Halloween projects? I have been working on the Boo Tapestry Baskets and can’t get enough of them.

A couple of days ago, I posted part 1 of the video tutorial. If you have missed the post, click here to get you there. That post contains the whole written pattern for this project.

And today, I am bringing you the second video tutorial showing the sides part.

There is also an ad-free version on my Ravelry store that offers the chart showing the sides graph. You can find it here. 

Here is Part 2 video tutorial: Boo Tapestry Baskets – Part 2

Boo Tapestry Basket

by | posted in: crochet deco, Crochet projects, crochet pumpkin, pumpkin, Uncategorized | 0

Although I hate cold and snow but I am always excited around this time of the year as the trees are turning into the amazing shades of orange and brown. 

Schools are back and hopefully without any disruption this semester. So I had some time to work on this Halloween themed basket pattern.
I am so much into crocheting baskets these days (if you have missed the Trio Nesting basket, you can find the post here) and so I decided to come up with the Boo Tapestry Basket.
This pattern is made using tapestry crochet for both the base and sides, working in the back loops of stitches. 

For the side pumpkin face, you can get a chart for it by getting the pattern through my Ravelry store.

As always, you will find a video tutorial on my channel (I wanted to keep the tutorials short, so you will find 2 parts covering the pattern). I am working on part 2 and hopefully will have it available by Thursday.

I am going to leave you now with the pattern. You can also find an ad-free version of my patterns on my Ravelry Store.

Material Needed:

  • Weight 4 yarn in Orange and Black
  • Hook: 2.5 mm
  • 4 stitch markers
  • Tapestry needle to weave in ends
  • A pair of scissors

Notes:

  • The pattern is written using US Terms.
  • The whole pattern is worked by crocheting around the yarn not currently used (tapestry crochet method) to give a uniform thickness to the whole basket.
  • Chain 1 in the beginning of the round is NOT counted as a stitch.
  • Each round ends with a slip stitch to join the first and last stitches. The slip stitch is worked by inserting the hook under the back loop of the stitch.
  • Stitch markers are placed in the middle stitch of each corner (3 single crochet stitches) to easily identify where the increase takes place in the following round.
  • Number stitch abbreviation e.g., 3SC: Three single crochet stitches into the same stitch.
  • Stitch abbreviation x number e.g., SCx3: Single crochet into each of the next 3 stitches.
  • The number in brackets at the end of each round is the number of total stitches for that round.
  • In the pattern, you will notice it is written in different colors to easily identify the color used for the stitch and a letter, B for black and O for orange are also written next to each stitch.
  • The pumpkin chart is to be repeated on each of the 4 sides of the basket.
  • The change in color is done by finishing the last single crochet stitch before a color change with the new color (yarn over and pull through the 2 loops using the new color to be used in the following stitch).

Trio Nesting Baskets

by | posted in: Bernat yarn, Crochet projects, textured crochet stitches | 0

I’m so excited to be sharing with you the Trio Nesting Crochet Baskets pattern.

This pattern comes in 3 different sizes; small, medium and large that can be stacked and stored when not in use.
I opted for a square shape as I always feel round and oval containers are not efficient for space usage. 

For the Trio Nesting Baskets, I used acrylic yarn since I had some leftover yarn that I wanted to use (the baskets do not use many yards as you will see down in the pattern) and because T-shirt yarn is not always available for some of us.
You can definitely try this pattern with cotton yarn or macrame cords. The size of the final product will differ accordingly.

I have a YouTube video showing a step by step tutorial for crocheting the small sized basket that you can find by clicking here

While you are there, you may wanna check all the other projects I have been sharing on my channel. I know I was lazy writing down these patterns and sharing those here but hopefully one day I can catch up and update the blog.

An ad-free pdf of the Trio Nesting Crochet Baskets is available on my Ravelry store. Click here to go to my Ravelry Store.

I am now gonna leave you with the pattern. Please reach out if you have any questions and don’t forget to share photos of your final work with us on IG and Facebook.
