Color Wheel: DIY Coiled Crochet Basket

我爱的idea ofusing your yarn stash to make baskets to hold your yarn stash。But crocheting a basket BIG enough to hold that blanket you’re working on, that might take a while unless you’reusing very chunky yarn。Here’s a way to make a coiled crochet basket that’s quick and easy, and allows you to use up scraps of thinner yarn in the process.

As you know, all projects start with an inspiration. Mine was that $5 Target Dollar Spot basket that I spotted one day. Would you believe it, I actually walked by and didn’t buy the whole shelf? Somehow, I told myself I didn’t need more baskets, HA. The next time I walked through a Target, I was smarter, but also sadder, because there was only 1 basket left. I took it home, yes, but I realized my folly – you can NEVER have enough baskets. So, like the rest of the world, when you can’t get your hands on something you want,it’s time to Do-It-Yourself.

Choosing Your Core Material

The construction of this basket, worked bottom up, is the same as pretty much every basket or bowl ever woven, coiled out of clay, or crocheted with yarn. But picking the right materials and using the right yarn gives the final product a completely different feel. Like many commercial baskets, this one is coiled using a continuous core material. In this case, I used3/8″ Piping Filler Cord。This is the stuff that’s usually wrapped in fabric and sewn to the edges of pillows and sofas for that rounded edging.

Piping filler cord comes in all sorts of sizes and lengths. For this specific project, I boughta 100yd box of 3/8″ piping cord, out of which I made 4 medium baskets and 1 gigantic basket. The total price for the cord was around $30, so the cord $0.30/yd. On the other hand, buying the piping at a craft store can cost $1/yd, so buying in bulk is the way to go if at all possible.

也有管道线的许多不同的宽度。我用3/8“线似乎是在大宗线我能找到的稍微厚一点结束。任何宽度线将工作 - 它只是取决于每个材料的院子里的成本，然后要花多少时间和纱线采取包装你的线，以得到你想要的筐尺寸。例如，更薄线是购买可能更容易获得。然而，你可能需要更多的码数多的纱建立相同的尺寸。另外，超厚管道线将成为一个了不起的，厚厚的篮子，但我想大批量的，可能是昂贵的。

你可以使用ropeormacrame cord? I don’t see why not. Although my guess is that rope will be expensive or hard to find for the same width at large quantities. The other consideration is that rope is more dense, so the same quantity may be much heavier than the piping. The piping filler cord is a very soft and flexible cord that has a very light, woven casing around what is probably just polyester filling. Rope consists of several strands of fiber twisted together so you’d get something much sturdier, but also much heavier and/or less flexible.

That may be your thing though, so there’s no reason not to try rope if that’s what you have available. I wanted my baskets to be light and pliable, just like the soft basket I got from Target, so I went with piping filler cord instead.

选择你的包纱

Then, there’s the yarn you use to crochet around this filler cord. I tried a few different types of yarn before settling on a mercerized cotton cord, specifically,狮牌的24/7棉纱。It’s inexpensive, tough, has minimal stretch, no fuzz, and comes in an array of gorgeously bright colors. Pair any of them with a pure white skein to make a minimally modern and sleek coil basket. Here are some other yarns to consider as you choose your wrap yarn:

Acrylic, twisted-ply, light worsted weight yarn:Acrylic can be a bit stretchy, which can cause inconsistencies in your tension. I also wasn’t a fan of the overall fuzziness. But that’s just personal preference.

Single ply, or roving yarn:Nope. As you build the basket, you pull the yarn with moderate force, so any yarn that breaks or tears easily is a no-go.

Kitchen cotton, worsted weight:它的工作原理，但它不会滑很容易，它累了我的手非常快。

Any dark yarn, or yarn that attracts fuzz:If you’ll be storing knit and crochet projects in these baskets, you may not want to make your basket from yarn that attracts any shedding fibers that may cross-contaminate future projects. Also, the dark yarn with fuzz on it just looks unattractive, unless you want to lint-roller it every day.

我认为，在大多数情况下，你选择的纱线根据个人喜好以及您将如何使用篮筐。唯一的纱，真正留远离是粗纱或单股纱。正如我提到的，你会在纱线上颇有几分揪着，所以你什么都不想要，可以在中间容易折断。

Constructing Your Basket

有一些具体的事情步骤来使这个盘绕钩针篮。我去了他们都在下面的视频教程，但这里有一个快速的崩溃给你：

Starting the basket:Getting your wrap yarn around your core material is a little tricky at the beginning. You’ll want to start with a complete round worked into a magic circle, then join your core material as you work the second round.

Turning from the base of the basket to the walls:在钩针，你经常在后面圈工作改变你的钩针织物的方向，但我们不这样做，在这里。在这里改变方向，你会操控管道填充线本身。

Changing colors:You don’t need to change colors, but if you do, there’s an easy to do it without adding any more ends to weave in.

Closing up:你有这个管道费尔ler cord that, once cut, frays IMMEDIATELY. How do you bind off your basket securely and as invisibly as possible? I made 3 different baskets and bound-off in 3 different ways. Although the concept is the same, the execution can differ each time, since there isn’t an exact sequence that works in all cases.

Pattern and Construction Notes

Coiled crochet basket is worked in continuous rounds. Use a stitch marker to help indicate start (or end) or round.

当构建基础，不要用力拉电源线，你周围的钩针。你想让它保持宽松，以便它可以平躺着作为篮子的基础。

Make sure your stitches are not too loose, as that will create gaps between the coils, but they should be loose enough to not warp the piping cord.

您将不再需要缝合标志，一旦你开始在篮下的墙壁上工作，因为墙壁是一个连续的螺旋工作。

If you’re worried about fraying even after securing it with the yarn, you can wrap the ends with adhesive tape.

The tension on the piping filler cord will dictate the shape of the basket. Tightening the tension will create a slope inwards, while loosening the tension will result in a flared look and a wide mouth.

盘绕钩针篮纹说明

与MC开始：

Round 1: Leaving a 12″/30cm tail, work 8 sc in magic circle. Attach stitch marker to indicate end of round. (You can also use a stitch marker to indicate the first stitch of the round. Either way works!)

Round 2: Wrap adhesive tape around the end of the piping filler cord. Prop the piping filler cord on top of the active yarn. Complete a chain stitch AROUND the piping filler cord to lock it in place. Ch 1. Work 2 sc in each st around. Each st is worked around the piping filler cord. Allow the cord to curl around round 1 freely.

Round 3: Work [1 sc, inc] 8 times around. Each st is worked around the piping filler cord.

回合4：工作[2 SC，INC]大约8倍。每个ST围绕管道填充线工作。

第5轮：工作[3 SC，INC]大约8倍。每个ST围绕管道填充线工作。

Round 6: Work [4 sc, inc] 8 times around. Each st is worked around the piping filler cord.

Round 7: Work [5 sc, inc] 8 times around. Each st is worked around the piping filler cord.

Round 8: Work [6 sc, inc] 8 times around. Each st is worked around the piping filler cord.

第9轮：工作[7 SC，INC]大约8倍。每个ST围绕管道填充线工作。

轮10:1 sc工作在每一个圣约,牵引闲逛htly on the piping filler cord so that it lays on top of the previous round to create the first round of the basket wall. You don’t want to increase the base diameter of the basket, so you’ll need to tug on the cord and tuck it behind the previous round to change “direction”.

Work 1 sc in each st around until the basket is approximately 7.5″/19cm tall, keeping an even tension on the piping filler cord. You may need to lightly tug on the cord occasionally to prevent it from flaring outwards, but do not tug too hard as that will tighten the shape of the basket. When working on the wall, you no longer need the stitch marker since there are no more increases to make. From this point on, you can work sc freely until your desired height.

You can change colors about 2/3 of the way off the walls of the basket. An easy way to change color is to simply cut the old yarn, tie the new yarn to the old yarn, and continue working sc as usual.

Handles: Work 13 sc directly around the piping filler cord, without inserting hook into the st from the previous row, skip 8 sts. Continue work 1 sc in each st until you reach the opposite side of the basket. Work 13 sc around the piping filler cord, skip 8 sts. Work 1 sc in each st until 3 sts before the first handle

切断管道填料绳只是短第一把手的。工件1个SC在每个最后3个STS的仔细围绕切割管道，切割纱线留下一个12“/30厘米尾，并拧紧关闭。使用尾，鞭牢固地缝合管道端部到篮以防止磨损。您可以向内打开管道，为了使最终不太明显的安全。编织的结束。

Go back and secure the piping at the bottom of the basket using the beginning tail. You can whip stitch through the bottom of the basket to secure the piping. Be sure to knot your yarn and weave it in.
