@virginiaomalley I use different patterns and stitches -- I have stitch libraries in different books and publications in addition to patterns I have bought or found online. Some of the designs I just put together - combinations of different stitches -- and some of them are actually patterns for bags or baskets. None of them are all in one place, though!!

Very nice bags and baskets. How do you do the contrasting trim? Do you stitch up the sides using single crochet? The sides look great. I haven't seen that look before.

@Kathylovestar -- I crocheted it - with a variegated cotton worsted yarn - I made the pattern up as I went along, using a combination of different crochet stitches.

@CrochetingNanya -

For the one I did in Thread Lace - the Shaded Blue one - yes I used a fabric stiffner after putting it on a round piece - and then let it dry.

The ones I did in yarn - and the small thread ones that are not really lace, but closely crocheted in waves - are not stiffened at all -- the way that they come out when done, they hold their shape without any type of stifffening.

Hi... I just reviewed your bags and baskets and would like to ask a question. Do you use a fabric stiffner for the baskets?
