Cara Corey
Are you new to crochet and interested in working three-dimensionally? Learn how to construct a sturdy basket–perfect for storing craft supplies, toys, or other household items–with felted wool rope and your fingers rather than a crochet hook. Explore how to make increases to create a flat-bottomed round. Use a different stitch to build the sides of the basket and finish your basket by attaching leather handles. Learn how to source materials and adjust the pattern to make baskets in different sizes and shapes. The finished basket measures approximately 10 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall. Open to beginners.
$35 materials fee, payable to the instructor at the start of class, covers all materials needed to create one basket.
