For some reason, chrochet tutotials NEED the little arrows on the pictures to show where to stitch into. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

BUT I don't think I really know what is meant by the first stitch. Eg, for the basket you say double crochet in the first stitch. Does this mean the dc I just did for the stitch next to it?<br />I would love a close up of going into the first stitch.sbierkoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175343817008054070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14992202.post-57757209941921037412012-10-04T07:43:29.667-07:002012-10-04T07:43:29.667-07:00As far as making a ball goes, the way you start to...As far as making a ball goes, the way you start to increase in the 2nd and 3rd rows is a little different. You start the same with the magic loop, and crochet 6 into the loop and pull it tight. Then you'd increase every round by adding six stitches. So for the 2nd round, you'd do 1sc, then 2sc in the next stitch all the way around, ending up with 12 stitches. Round 3 you'd do 1 sc in the next 2 stitches, then 2 sc in the 3rd, all the way around and end up with 18. Do 2 sc in the 4th stitch on the 4th round, etc. Depending on how large you want your ball, keep increasing like this. If you want, say, a ball that will fit in the palm of your hand, you can stop increasing at row 6. When you're done increasing, you need to work some rows without increasing, just 1 sc in each sc around. Usually you can work the same number of rows as you increased. If you increased for 6 rows, then work straight for 6, etc. And when you're done working straight you decrease the same way you increased. I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any more questions!Chase Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975617373410577449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14992202.post-72030860982289704102012-09-29T20:06:09.282-07:002012-09-29T20:06:09.282-07:00Thank you so much for this!!

I was able to make something besides the "dish rag" squares with your help!! <br />Quick question, if i wanted to turn one of the baskets into a "ball" shape would i just keep going but decrease backwards? Or should i make to then join together? I hope that makes since to you. :) thank you so much<br />Heather WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14992202.post-83265185198021585792010-03-24T14:55:59.996-07:002010-03-24T14:55:59.996-07:00Thanks guys - I am so glad you are getting some us...Thanks guys - I am so glad you are getting some use out of my work, it makes me so happy!

I've tried several sites for instructions on how to do this, but they just didn't look right. Thinking it was me, I was about to give up. Your instructions are unique enough that my first attempt turned out so much more elegant than the others. After some practice, I think they will be just what I had in mind. Do you by any chance have equally inspiring instructions for a square or rectangle? I'm thinking play bakeware. Again, thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14992202.post-3286060891058350462010-01-06T16:13:18.058-08:002010-01-06T16:13:18.058-08:00Thank you!

This tutorial was really, really helpful - a month ago I couldn't crochet, and got so frustrated trying to work out patterns that I just gave up, but now I've made this and I <i>get</i> it. I've made other things since and I'm ridiculously pleased with myself - but really it's thanks to your excellent descriptions & photos... Keep it up!<br /><br />-kate-katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617194410275560509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14992202.post-34193958709405419702009-07-31T08:20:05.506-07:002009-07-31T08:20:05.506-07:00Thanks Hannah!

But still it's something to ponder. I vow to someday crochet something... just not yet, and just not this, but thanks for the inspiration.
