With the right materials, crochet can create a stiff fabric, perfect for homewares like baskets. By changing the size of the base and the height of the sides you will be able to customise your basket to be just the size you need. A big one for laundry, or a small one for pencils, and of course a basket for your crafting!

In this one day class we will cover the basics of how to make a basket. The techniques we will cover are crochet in the round, single crochet and V stitch.

My autistic son attended Natalie’s crochet evening at Patch with his older sister. What a wonderful evening they both had. They were able to create a small over the shoulder bag and a pot holder. A lovely evening to switch off from the day to day busy life we have and have time to sit and relax. Both were proud of what they had achieved.

Thank you Natalie for another excellent crochet class. I’m super proud of my basket. The evening was wonderful, chilled but with a little learning. Lovely spending time with other like minded people. Will definitely come again for another class.

Such a great evening spent learning a new skill. Natalie was very patient and clear with instruction and I could relax into what I was creating.
