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/...

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.

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.

@barbarabender2499 4 месяца назад

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!

@pattisnapsforbeans8212 4 месяца назад

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!

Susan, I just ordered your book :D Since discovering your channel last week, I've made one small bag (7 strands) + 1 Hamper, 15" high -- both with sewn-on faux leather handles, and two 24"x36" rugs (also with 7 strands each. the rugs are very kushy :).. (For the hamper, I made 2, set one inside the other and crocheted together at the top; double-walled, much stronger -- rather heavy haha -- LOVE them all :D Still going thru stash yarn, working now on an interior 7-strand basket to place inside an existing one [think: Guinness for strength haha!] Thank You!! On the hunt now for thrift shop leather bags so I may use the real leather straps on the next bags or baskets I make.. LOVE this pattern - thank you so much. GBY Susan!!

@debbiemartin2026 4 месяца назад

@@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 think that's what terrific about a project like this. While Susan gives us specific instructions so we can duplicate her results, she also gives us enough basics that we can make the baskets to suit our yarn stash, our needs and preferences. We can make them bigger, smaller, taller, shorter... I'm getting some yarn stash together for my first one. Who knows exactly what size it will be? I'll estimate size in advance but keep my options open.

@bettypearson5570 4 месяца назад

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.

@Brineytoes Месяц назад

I have not done any crochet for over 30 years, but I have just ordered yarn and a whole set of new crochet needles because they now have nice thick handles for arthritic fingers like mine.

I love big baskets, so this project is going to be my return to fiber arts and for that, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent and expertise. It means more to me than you can possibly know to have a way to create again. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Tears of joy and gratitude!) ❤❤❤

These look quite similar to a few baskets I've made.

Ur bags r awesome ...but why do the pattern stop n make one row of SC stitches then go back to counting 2 SC then 5 SC n the next 5 st.?

Thank you! That helps keep the circle flat. Sometimes when you work with several strands at once it can start to get wavy.

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!

Really pretty and what a great idea for yarn scraps!

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.

I love your work around for weighing. So simple and sensible.

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.

Hello fellow Coloradan! I'm a native of Colorado and I would never even consider living anywhere else. Although I lived most my life in Denver, I now live in Longmont.

Hi!! I am hoping my oldest son will go to UC Boulder so I can visit up there more often! It’s 6 hours of slow going from here to Denver but it’s a very scenic drive! Relaxing except for Wolf Creek Pass 😬🐺🏔️

Really love these baskets! I haven’t crocheted in many years because of severe illness. But I certainly like to try to make these ones. Lovely results! Thanks!

Hello Ma'am, We do not know each other, but I just wanted to send you a note of support. I am so very sorry that you have dealt with many years of serious illness. It is hard to keep hope and a positive perspective on life in the day to day strife with being sick so much. It can sure take a toll on a person and all those around you. I have dealt with quite a bit of illness for years. Please keep your chin up and take care of yourself! I have learned over the years that God is my greatest strength. Without faith in God and His messages of love to everyone on earth, I would be dead. Hey, I am excited to try one of these baskets myself. I have been working for months trying to crochet a baby blanket for use in a car seat. I would crochet for a while, then have to rip all stitches out and start over, but I think I am finally making some headway!!! Please take care "creativecheersoffashionlau7364" and may God richly bless you. "bjburgess555@gmail.com in Northwest Wyoming, USofA.

When I’m working with more than 3 yarns at once I use a strainer to make sure everything doesn’t knot

@marilynmartino4245 3 месяца назад

That might be a good visual to make sure 7 strands are still in play! Love it!

Thank you for sharing your design for this darling basket. Your work is beautiful, and you must have very strong hands! 💖

I stumbled across your video a couple of weeks ago. What joy. Your tutorial was so clear and unthreatening! Even your casting on and off and weaving in was my method ( ive been crocheting for much of my life and Im 74 soon) everything just fited with how i work . I bought your book and have made my first basket mixing the book and your video for guidance. I had false starts quite a few in fact ( but hay ho) however i have a made basket but now i cant find in England the strap you use for the handles. Can you help. I dont have a lap top and my phone doesn't seem to pick up links. Or maybe it that im a dino ( most likely) Thank you And thank you for a wonderful tutorial
