Special Stitches

Chain Space (ch-sp)

A chain space is the space/gap in your work that is created by making a chain. The space is located below the chain. Normally you’d insert your hook into the front and back loops of the stitch, but when you work into a chain space you insert your hook into the space underneath the chain.

Invisible join

After completion of the last stitch of the round, fasten off. With a tapestry needle, weave tail end under both loops of the first stitch of the round. Next, weave through the back loop only, of the last stitch of the round. Weave in tail.

7 Loop Puff Stitch (ps)

Crochet puff stitches are a series of unfinished half double crochet stitches that are worked together. For this tutorial, we’re going to use 3 half double crochets, to create our puff stitch. Some puff stitches require a chain 1, to finish off the stitch, but this pattern only chains one where noted.

Tip: Work with loose tension and pull loops up to the height of the working row.

Step 1: Yarn over, insert hook in indicated stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook).

Step 2: [Yarn over, insert hook in same stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop]2x (7 loops on hook)

Step 3: Yarn over and pull through all seven loops on hook

Tips & Tricks

The key to having a sturdy basket it to create a very tight stich, using a thick yarn. The completed basket should be very sturdy, yet flexible. Over time it can become misshaped. You can easily re-shape with your hands. I also find it helpful to form it around a heavy bowl about the same size, then remove the bowl to reveal a nice, new, even shape. If you’re basket is quite loose, you may need to go down a hook size or two.

Written Instructions For The Puffy Heart Crochet Basket Pattern

– Beg chs of each rnd do NOT count as 1st st.

– When switching colors, fasten off & join new color with a sl st. The first ps of the round will hide the joins, so no fancy method is needed.

– Unless otherwise noted, join each ps rnd in the 1st ch-sp, between the 1st & 2nd ps of each round.
