How to Crochet Basket with Wooden Base Tutorial naztazia 2024-10-16 | Learn how to crochet a basket using a wooden base with spaces for the stitches in this tutorial video!Ever see those wooden bases with spaces in them? They work great for making crochet baskets! The template has evenly made spaces that are perfect for creating stitches. I'm using the waistcoat stitch as the primary stitch pattern, which is just a modified single crochet stitch.For this tutorial I'm using super bulky t-shirt yarn for my sample baskets. I used 75 yards total for the 2 baskets. The first basket is 6" in diameter and the second one is 4" in diameter. Other basket template sizes will work for this pattern as well. If t-shirt yarn is not available, use any super bulky yarn or cord. Also, 2 or 3 strands of regular medium worsted yarn will work as well.I start with a 6 mm crochet hook to fit the spaces, and then I switch over to a 6.5 mm crochet hook for the actual stitch pattern. I'm also using a bit of Aleene's Fabric Fusion to hold my ends in place.Any questions, feel free to ask. And please enjoy this video!

Yarn Ends and What to Do with Them for Crochet and Knitting Projects naztazia 2024-10-02 | Learn what to do with yarn ends for crochet and knitting in this tutorial!In crochet and knitting we always end up with yarn ends. There is the tail end, the final end, plus sometimes some strands in between due to attaching a new skein of yarn as well as changing colors.There are two things to consider when choosing how to handle yarn ends. First, what is the project? Is it something that will be heavily used as well as machine washed and dried? Is it something like a home decor item that won't get much use?Second, who is the recipient? And do they know how to properly handle handmade items?In this tutorial I show how I handle these different scenarios. For the fabric adhesive glue, I'm using Aleene's Quick Dry Fabric Fusion, as well as the regular (not quick dry) one. Both of which dry clear, leave the yarn flexible, plus the items can be laundered safely.Any questions, feel free to ask. And please enjoy!

How to Join 2 Yarns with an Invisible Knot for Chenille, Plush, and Velvet Blanket Yarn naztazia 2024-08-14 | Learn how to join 2 yarns with an invisible knot for fluffy yarns such as chenille, plus, and velvet blanket yarn.In crochet and knitting, these thick fluffy yarns are so much fun to work with. When needing to join two strands of these types of yarn, it can be challenging. A traditional knot can be used and is secure, however, the knot oftentimes ends up large and bulky.Another secure way to join two strands of this yarn is known as the invisible knot. Just like in cable splicing, the outer material is removed and the wires are then connected together. With this method, the outer fibers are removed from the yarn to reveal the inner thread core. A secure knot can be made with these inner threads. The resulting knot is both invisible and strong. It's an easy way to join the same color yarn together as well as join two different colors.For this video I'm using multiple types of 100% polyester chenille yarn in a variety of diameters. I'm also using Aleene's Quick Dry Fabric Fusion, which is a flexible fabric glue that can be used on items that will be machine washed.Any questions, feel free to ask. And please enjoy this video!
