Artisan Market Baskets are excellent sellers at craft fairs! Recommended pricing: at least $40 for small baskets and at least $80-100 for large baskets. Popular with other crafters and great for storing yarn. Makes a lovely housewarming present when you put a house plant inside!
Artisan Market Baskets are crocheted with 7 strands of yarn held together as one. 8 mm hook. All single crochet stitches in US terms.
Skill level: advanced beginner because it can be tricky to crochet with 7 strands at once. The single crochet stitch itself is simple.
Crochet pattern: Artisan Market Baskets from my book Crochet Southwest Spirit: Over 20 Bohemian Patterns Inspired By The American Southwest. Available on Amazon here: amzn.to/3Wodr0J or check it out at your local public library!
Small basket requires about 1 1/4 pounds or 550 grams of mixed yarn scraps, fingering to bulky/chunky weight. That is about half of a typical plastic grocery bag full.
Large basket requires about 2 1/4 pounds or 1 kg of mixed yarn scraps. That is a full plastic grocery bag of yarn scraps.
You can tie knots to join yarns, leaving 3-inch tails to crochet over as shown in the tutorial.
Long handles required about 60 inches (152 cm) of 3/4 inch wide (2 cm wide) faux leather strap per basket. Short handles require about 18-20 inches (46-51 cm) strap. Here is the faux leather strap I used on Amazon: a.co/d/j8n6KHF.
I use a Susan Bates brand 8 mm aluminum crochet hook with a bamboo handle. You can buy it for $5.49 USD at Joann.com. www.joann.com/susan-bates-bamboo-handle-crochet-ho…

I had a stroke 5 years ago and have struggled to regain my crochet ability. I've always been a craft crazed maniac and I just tried this method of the bulky 7 strand and larger hook just to see and I can do it!!! I'm so excited and thankful!!! I'm ordering your book today and will be getting one going this week!! I must have been guided to your channel...Thank you so much.

You get the YouTube award for excellent instruction, as far as I’m concerned!! Your video and detailed instructions are incredibly helpful. I am 5 rows away from completing my first (large) basket, and I am hooked! Pun intended! Thanks for this video, but more importantly, thanks for making the world a kinder place by putting it out there for all of us.

This is one of the best how to do anything videos I've ever seen!!! The angle of the camera is perfect and her explanations are simple helpful and not overly verbose. I can see and understand everything she is doing. Teachers stand up and take notes.

Wow!! Thank you so much for showing us how to make this basket!!! Your instructions are clear and I think I can do it. If I start now I may be able to make them for my whole family for Christmas. Really, that was very generous for you to take 2 hours out of your life and share that for free. Thank you for your kindness!!!!

Susan, thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your gorgeous craft with all of us who love crocheting.

I have not done any crochet for over 30 years, but I have just ordered yarn and a whole set of new crochet needles because they now have nice thick handles for arthritic fingers like mine. I am legally bind but have enough vision to do this. I had to give up my beloved sewing, and need a creative outlet so much. I love big baskets, so this project is going to be my return to fiber arts and for that, I can’t thank you enough for sharing your talent and expertise. It means more to me than you can possibly know to have a way to create again. THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Tears of joy and gratitude!) ❤❤❤

Thank you Susan for the gift of this tutorial. Such beautiful Artisan Market Basket.

What a great tutorial! I hadn't picked up my hook in quite a while. I am almost done making my first basket and I can see how these would become addicting. For this basket, I just picked up all the odd scrap yarns that I had left over from projects past. When I initially started, I couldn't deal with fussing with all the different skeins, so I stopped, unraveled the beginnings and went ahead and rolled all my yarns into balls. My husband came up with the brilliant idea of throwing them into a large wire cage type basket and running the various yarns thru different spots in the cage, so they never get tangled. I did have to move up to a larger hook, but the result is still beautiful. Thank you!!!

One of the super things I find about this project is that I can use different weight yarns, some thin, some thick, all together. This is perfect for me as I am learning to spin cotton thread and right now my yarn is a little inconsistant, to say the least. Slubby, thick in parts, thin in others, etc. I can use this imperfect yarn for this basket and nobody would know! Thank you for this tutorial. It was awesome!

Thank you so much for your tutorial and especially for not using any music! I have a hard time understanding voice instructions whenever there is background "noise" at the same time. I have crocheted for more than 60 years, but I learned something from your video that will help me to improve my work!!!! I love it when that happens!🤣

I am proud to say I bought the book crochet southwest spirit. And I really love it . Thanks 😊
-
You haven't even begun your tutorial and I already liked you! Your aura, your peaceful way, THAT is the addictive part for me. Keep going, I can feel the world becoming so much lighter and brighter already because of you. Thanks! ❤

What a brilliant idea to use the yarns that we bought for other projects that did not come to light. Or the hook! I love the idea of using different weights of yarn. So brilliant! Appreciate the mention of the price. Currently, not there at being a vendor but as a Nana my beautiful granddaughter keeps me busy with ideas that at times keep me away from the sewing of quilts. Thank you for sharing such talent that is so inspirational and connects with life.

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! I have been a knitter for 40 years, but have only been able to master single crochet. This video has given me the confidence to delve deeper into crochet! I started my large basket this morning and just finished it! It's fabulous 🎉❤
-
I just can't get enough of your designs! Thank you so much Susan 🧶💜 I went right to Amazon and ordered the strapping and I started a bag/basket. I'm about 3/4 finished!!! So excited. I took 3 hrs today and caked up yarn on the winder. I held 3 strands together and made cakes! I thought this would be much easier to manage! I'm addicted now!!!!! My husband loves them too. He would like me to make a tall one for a clothes hamper in the bathroom. I'm going to give it a try! Thank you again! 🧶💛

My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 10. I'm now 68 and still crocheting, among other hobbies! I love this tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make it. It is very well done. I'm going to get the book.

Thank you dear lady for keeping us informed. Yes, we must hold compassion for the children and continue to pray for them. 🙏💫
