Well, first off I would like to say Thank You! All the videos you have posted have helped me with all my questions and I have been able to crochet without getting stuck on something. Your great a crochet! I want to make my grandmother that is dieing a blanket for her wheel chair. because she gets cold alot! She is a Christian and loves God so much! I hope to be able to put a cross on the blanket, but I need some help trying to figure out how to do that. I am young so I need some help.
Hi Teresa, first of all i wanted to thank you for your videos. I am new to crocheting, but within a week, I was able to crochet 3 beanies with your help.(: My next project is to make my God daughter a baby blanket with this pattern. Can you possibly help me change the amount of chains and stitches to make a blanket with this pattern?
hey teresa, i want to make this scarf but i want it to be wider. how many chains should i make ? im more than new at this!!! this is what my yarn says 50g 1oz 3/4 and the hook is 2.50mm thank you , I love your tutorials!
What size needle to you use for the basket weave stitch? I also am NEW to this... just browsing videos right now, but going to buy some materials... just wondered for the basket weave, what size needle?
Teresa, is it possible to do the basket weave stitch around a square piece? Like to just keep going around the square and some how increase in eack corner, kinda like the never ending granny. I don't like how the never ending granny is coming out, to many big holes. So I thought the basket weave stitch would be nice. But I don't know how to do the increases at the corners.
i first came across basket weave when i bought the pattern for a baby blanket, i liked it so much i made another two baby blankets following the pattern. after that i used basket weave to make a blanket big enough to overlap my double bed.i made it all in one go too,not out of different coloured squares sewn together.with the whole of the blanket over me as i crocheted each row it was warm work, especially in summer.this makes such a warm material,so soft too.great video.
Love u! Love! Love u! Thank u soooooo much for all ur most helpful vidoes. Just one question though. I would like to make a long skirt for a 2 yr-old baby using the basketweave crochet. How many rows horizontal and vertical would u recommend? Thank u.
Hi Teresa, much thanks to you for posting crochet videos. I am veeeeery new to this type of crocheting. I wanna make a baby's blanket for my cousin who's now 6mo pregnant. I want to at least have it ready be4 her baby comes. I find that this video was the most helpful for me because some parts were done in slow motion. I greatly appreciated that. Keep up the wonderful work and I'll keep watching.
hi Teresa. i just recently got back into crocheting and found your videos to be very helpful. i tried doing this basketweave scarf and have been going for more than 20 rows but now it looks too stiff for a scarf. i am using an 8-ply acrylic (Homemaker) and a size 5mm hook. i am not a beginner at crochet but i obviously don't have much knowledge on the yarns+hooks. any thoughts on this? anyway, i just want to thank you for making things easy thru your tutorials! =)
@dionaflor I would suggest a smaller yarn, something 4 ply and a larger crochet hook, size I/5.5mm or larger. This will make the scarf more flowing and not so stiff.
@pnann55 hi there theresa, i just wonder if you know how to crochet a sample of raspberry stitch...i really love the pattern but don't know how to do it...thanks.
@mecca115able There is a wide range of yarn that will work with this stitch. Yes, baby yarn will work. We can forget about brand as well and try different brands.
@tjw1963 uhm.... I wouldn't hold your breath on that one if I were you! LOL! I've never made a video in my life!! At least not one for YouTube! I just recently got a small and very cheap model camcorder but I've not really used it yet for anything like this. It's doubtful that I could get decent shots of crochet stitching. I'm also very much a novice and can't seem to control the tension in my work; so it turns out warped. At least now I can actually see how the stitches are DONE though!
I always get so confused with the base chain. I can never tell if you are suppose to chain under one link or two links and nobody ever is clear about that. Can you please clarify, it looks like you are chaining under one.
While I enjoy your tutorials, I think the slow motion video is distracting. This is especially true since you can always rewind or fast forward the video at will.
Your work is absolutely incredible! But my grandmother and i are having an issue...we are both making separate blankets and each time we start, our blankets are taking a skirt form. My grandmothers chain is very loose and its still taking this form, mine is tight and yet is still making the skirt form. They are both a simple double crochet pattern. Do you have any idea as to what's going on with our blankets?
@isamarie94 What happens is when the chain is to loose or to tight, this will restrict the work at the bottom so it will expand as you are progressing. The same is true when you start off to loose, your work may get progressively tighter. You need to compensate by using a larger crochet hook if it starts off to tight., then go back to the smaller size for the rest of your work. With the looser chain, try making it tighter or use a smaller crochet hook.
I'm expecting my first son in May.. I love your work! You're a wonderful teacher! I want to make a baby blanket out of this design, how many chains should I make in the beginning?I can't firgure out what the right length should be since I'm new to crocheting.
I just recently found crocheting as "my thing" and I want to thank you for all your super helpful videos, they are the best I've seen on youtube =] and you have taught me a lot.
I've already made some hats, scarves and amigurumi
..I do want to say this, in this particular video your hands seem to go too fast for the camera and end up blurring, kind of distracting =[
You are a great teacher, so easy to watch a follow and unlike many you show how to begin the project. I have also not crocheted for a long time and decided to have a go and make a hot water bottle cover for an elderly lady for a christmas gift and now everyone wants one, even my teenage daughter! There are some fab wools out there and I am loving your designs. I have even had a go at making some flowers to add to the front of my covers! Leaves next....
Hi love your video's, i haven't crocheted in a long time i want to make blanket for the back of the couch as a gift, can you tell me if this will make a nice pattern in an onbray sp. i need something really simple, i ordered 4 big ball yarn by bernat, made by lilly. how many stitches do i start with for a good width. and do you think this will be enough each is 630 yards. or can you suggest if i need something easier. i need it for Christmas, hopefully this Christmas lol, thanks so much
I like this pattern and I think it could be a men's scarf, could it? If not, do you have any pattern for a men's scarf? Thanks and as always, I love your work.
I LOVE this I am trying to make a baby blanket for my new grandbaby. I have a problem at the ends it always seems uneven. Any suggestions? It seems as though I am dropping stitches. How many shoukd I do for a blanket ? Thanks!!
@Kaiseih I suggest you count your stitches so the edges remain even on each row. I would estimate a chain of 200 to start. You can always adjust if you find it is to long or to short.
Ok,this basketweave idea is great but Iam trying the 1st row front post and the 2nd row back post and it's turning out beautiful and it's faster to work with too...I think I'll try your idea on a blanket!!
Teresa thanks for the videos I crochet a lot but have never tried some stitches cause I thought they were complicated, your videos make them look easy. Thanks and keep them coming.
Iheart dancer, Hello !! I made these into 8 X 8 squares and made a lap blanket, it turned out really well and was so fun to make. Good luck with your project.
This is a fantastic video!!! I have been searching for this stich all morning. I made an afghan before from this stich and forgot the technique. Thank you so much for posting this. I have saved it to my facebook page so I will always have it. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I will check back often.
@mbowlin33 You can work single crochet for a border. When you get to the corners, you will want to work 3 single crochet for the increase. This will allow your squares to lay flat as you are making the square.
@tjw1963 hey teresa! when doing a border-on the sides-would you do 2 or 3 stitches in the side stitches? i know you'd do 1 of course in the top and bottom. thanks!
Oh man, you saved me so much frustration. I love this visual effect to crochet. The more I did the stitch the more confused I got. Watching your video explained and answered my questions, it is always FPDC in the beginning, BPDC always. THANKS again.
I just moved to Ecuador and need a hobby. I haven't crocheted in about 25 years, but after watching your videos, I can't wait to get started again! Your videos are really easy to follow. Thanks!!
Is is possible to use this technique to do a 'mock' cable effect? I would guess if I shifted the front post/back post over one each row, it might work?
I LOVE your videos, you taught a lefty to crochet after I don't know how many years of wanting to, but never having anyone able to teach me! Your videos are fantastic.
If I used 2 colours could I only do colour changes in different rows or could I have the vertical lines (of the basketweave) in one colour and the horizontal ones in the other one? Do you know what I mean? Would appreciate your help! Greetz
thanks for your great videos! Well done and easy to follow....and great that you have done some for us left handed folks---please continue to show the left-y version too.
first of all thxs for your videos. I've learned sooo much, more than i thought possible (in 2 weeks) but im having problems with the edges of this scarf.
I've watched this video like 20 times and still don't get it. I noticed that one edge is straight and the other isn't. well i can't seem to get one of the edges straight. I've been trying for 2 days and can't do it maybe you can tell me what i'm doing wrong. sorry if I'm not making sense, it's hard to explain
@loca10922 You do have the option of making an edging of single crochet along each edge to cover up the stitches if they do not look right. It does take some practice to make sure that your stitches are aligned. Sometimes if the count is off the edges may not seem straight.
Hi Teresa! Im planning to make a basket wave blanket for my baby. How many chains should i start with ? I tried making 112 double crochet ... im not getting it right though

Hi Teresa! Im planning to make a basket wave blanket for my baby. How many chains should i start with ? I tried making 112 double crochet ... im not getting it right though
This is my favorite crochet stitch ~ I've made about 3 afghans so far. The only thing about it is that it's a yarn hog....takes twice as much but is sure worth the effort. The end result is a rich pattern and it's very cozy.
Thank you for this video. I never knew how to make the basket weave stich and now I do. I had the square done and I'm going to keep on going till I have enough for a scarf. I used dark blue color and it's going to be a scarf for my nephew for this winter. Thanks again, you are the best teacher.
I want to use this patter to make blanket not baby blanket. How many chains do i need and would came out just like you show us? thank you so much. You are a great teacher.
thank u for sharing..i know how to do SOME crocheting, but, i REALLY want to teach my daughter- its hard for me to word the steps. your video is nice, i have 2 check out your others too. NICE! my daughter can learn on here now;) thanks
Teresa, thank u for sharing ur knowledge with people God bless, not everyone can teach u are a good teacher u are gifted to teach by God, may the good lord be with u AMEN.
one more question!! :) i am fineshing my first blanket!! thanks to you lol! but i dont know how to make a pretty edge on it to finesh it off :( i couldn't find a video for this can you make one?? or let me know where i can find it? please!! thank you and again youre awesome! :)
this is a great pattern just wondering if you could make a blanket in this pattern? would your starting chain need to be longer?? i was wanting a baby blanket
Teresa, thanks for sharing this video. I love your work. I have a quick question... when you get to the end of the row, do you chain 1, turn, then chain 1 at the beginning of the next row?
There is only one chain 1 at the end or beginning of each row. I like to use the chain 1 as the step up to the next row, then I work full stitches instead of the typical chain. The chain 3 can look sloppy and leave gaps and holes.
can i do this instead of double crochet, can i do triple crochet??? plz plz plz reply back, i need to know. U r the crocheting queen. that is why i asked u, lol
I have watched so many of your videos and this is the only one I can do as of now. I'm super excited that I have FINALLY moved beyond the single and doulble stitch. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
How would you make a baby blanket?would you do a whole lot of single chains (saw 100 or 125)to start or would you do squares and sew them together? The more help the better. thanks so much!
I have tried for years to crochet patterns other than sc and dc and understand them and I haven't been able to. watching your videos has been the best way to learn and I just wanted to thank you for all of your videos! I have referred so many people to you because I have been getting so many compliments and it is all thanks to you! Thanks so much!!!
i crochet alot at work, i have used this stitch making placemats.I may use it next to make an afghan for this really cute trucker that comes to my job site alot.
Teresa by using your instructions, I have made twenty or so scarves doing the basketweave stitch. Eventhough your video is done right-handed, I crocheted them with my left hand. Thanks! Good Job Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use this with cotton yarn and makes WONDERFUL washcloths!

With the looser chain, try making it tighter or use a smaller crochet hook.

I have saved it to my facebook page so I will always have it. Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. I will check back often.

I have made a bunch of 6in basket weave granny squares, how would you suggest to crochet a border to connect for an afghan?
mbowlin33 1 year ago
@mbowlin33 You can work single crochet for a border. When you get to the corners, you will want to work 3 single crochet for the increase. This will allow your squares to lay flat as you are making the square.
tjw1963 1 year ago
@tjw1963 hey teresa! when doing a border-on the sides-would you do 2 or 3 stitches in the side stitches? i know you'd do 1 of course in the top and bottom. thanks!

Oh man, you saved me so much frustration. I love this visual effect to crochet. The more I did the stitch the more confused I got. Watching your video explained and answered my questions, it is always FPDC in the beginning, BPDC always. THANKS again.

Is is possible to use this technique to do a 'mock' cable effect? I would guess if I shifted the front post/back post over one each row, it might work?
I LOVE your videos, you taught a lefty to crochet after I don't know how many years of wanting to, but never having anyone able to teach me! Your videos are fantastic.

how do you change colors or add a new skein of yarn without messing up the shape/ends??
MissSiERRA85 1 year ago
If I used 2 colours could I only do colour changes in different rows or could I have the vertical lines (of the basketweave) in one colour and the horizontal ones in the other one? Do you know what I mean? Would appreciate your help! Greetz

@trillajenn You can do color changes.

Do you know how much yarn is needed to do a queen blanket with this stitch? Thank you for teaching me everything I know!
livefastanddieyoung 1 year ago
@livefastanddieyoung I would estimate 20-30 skeins of yarn. This stitch will use more yarn. It is always better to have to much than not enough.

thanks for your great videos! Well done and easy to follow....and great that you have done some for us left handed folks---please continue to show the left-y version too.

first of all thxs for your videos. I've learned sooo much, more than i thought possible (in 2 weeks) but im having problems with the edges of this scarf.
I've watched this video like 20 times and still don't get it. I noticed that one edge is straight and the other isn't. well i can't seem to get one of the edges straight. I've been trying for 2 days and can't do it maybe you can tell me what i'm doing wrong. sorry if I'm not making sense, it's hard to explain
thxs for any help you can give
loca10922 1 year ago
@loca10922 You do have the option of making an edging of single crochet along each edge to cover up the stitches if they do not look right. It does take some practice to make sure that your stitches are aligned. Sometimes if the count is off the edges may not seem straight.

This is my favorite crochet stitch ~ I've made about 3 afghans so far. The only thing about it is that it's a yarn hog....takes twice as much but is sure worth the effort. The end result is a rich pattern and it's very cozy.
Thank you for the vid

Thank you for this video. I never knew how to make the basket weave stich and now I do. I had the square done and I'm going to keep on going till I have enough for a scarf. I used dark blue color and it's going to be a scarf for my nephew for this winter. Thanks again, you are the best teacher.

Can you replace the double crochet with any other stand alone stitch such as treble crochet or extended double crochet ect.?

@m828502 You can replace the double crochet with the triple crochet, single crochet or half double crochet and use them as post stitches.

Teresa, thanks for sharing this video. I love your work. I have a quick question... when you get to the end of the row, do you chain 1, turn, then chain 1 at the beginning of the next row?
sillygeese814 2 years ago
There is only one chain 1 at the end or beginning of each row. I like to use the chain 1 as the step up to the next row, then I work full stitches instead of the typical chain. The chain 3 can look sloppy and leave gaps and holes.
tjw1963 2 years ago

How would you make a baby blanket?would you do a whole lot of single chains (saw 100 or 125)to start or would you do squares and sew them together? The more help the better. thanks so much!
