Crochet Basket - December 4 & 11
Make a scrappy crochet basket with us!
In this two-part class, you’ll learn a fun and practical way to use up leftover yarns from your projects by creating a lined crochet basket. Together we’ll make a small basket (approximately 3" tall and 12" around), and you’ll leave with the skills and techniques to confidently design larger baskets on your own.
This workshop is designed for beginner crocheters who already know how to chain stitch and single crochet.

This class is held in person at our Bainbridge Island shop on Thursday December 4 and Thursday December 11, from 2:00pm - 4:00pm. This class will be taught by our very own Nikki Reynolds!
Part One:
We’ll explore how to combine scrap yarns to create a marled fabric, make the base of the basket, and crochet seamlessly in the round. To spark your creativity, Nikki will also have a selection of finished baskets on hand, examples similar to the ones you’ll be making in class.
Part Two:
We’ll measure and sew a custom fabric lining, insert a wooden base for extra structure, and finish with hand stitching around the rim. To inspire future projects, Nikki will also share examples of larger baskets featuring different stitch patterns.
Techniques you'll learn:
- Working in the round
- Magic Circle
- Hand Sewing
- Blanket Stitch
What you'll need for the class:
- US I-9 (5.5mm) and US J (6mm) crochet hook
- Scrap yarns you have from leftover projects in a fingering weight, or just various fingering weight yarns
We will provide the printed pattern, felt fabric, wooden base and sewing needles for use in class. Crochet hooks, tapestry needle and any extra yarn should be purchased separately. If you'd like to purchase supplies from us, contact us for a 15% off discount, but you're welcome to bring your own supplies! This project works great for scraps.
