Hooking and me 🤔
I am still in a storeage frame of mind so thought I would have a go at crocheting a basket.
Now this basket made in the round is a bit of a jumble, I lost track of the join and ended up with too many increases. So I finished it off added a little loop to use as a work basket.
I do like the little neat stitches and the firm fabric it has made but need to pay more attention to marking the join.
I have made a larger crochet basket.
I just worked this backwards and forwards which was easier to keep track of the increases and then I sewed up the seam at the end. I do like the ridges created by working this way.
Both baskets were made using aran weight yarn and I chose a size 4 hook which has made a nice firm basket.
Not a natural hooked! !!
Woolly wishes,
Jane ♡♡♡
Wow, that’s an interesting hobby, and a great looking basket! Thanks for sharing and teaching me about knitting. Am interested to see what else you have to share.

Thank you Stuart. You are either a knitter or do crochet. I’m a knitter hence my confusion with the
crochet 😉

I do both knitting and crochet equally well, though I’m not “advanced” in either. I tend to avoid things that are very complicated like brioche or billions of cables. I love a good crochet basket. I have rather a lot of crocheted containers (I can see two from where I’m sitting on the couch).

Jane, the Happy Hooker! haha! The both look fantastic. I am thinking one of the large ones would be nice next to my chair for my Granny Stripe blanket which never leaves home.

I was just thinking about a lack of little baskets in this house. I forgot about crocheting some! Off to find a hook.

Lovely!!
And even thought I’m a solidly intermediate crocheter, I still think of it as the dark side!!
