Crochet Marled Basket
The Marled Basket is using Caron Big Cakes. The basket is super easy. It is about 12" diameter by 12" tall.
It uses 2 balls of Caron Big Cakes. You have two choices for using 2 strands together. For the basket shown here, it's my own sample and I used two different colours of Caron Big Cakes at the same time. It was 1 ball of Blue Macaron and Blueberry Scone. It is a pure fluke it matched my bedspread. With crochet marl, you never know how it will look until you do it. This is what makes it fun for me.
Choice 1:
Grab the ends from the two balls and crochet them together.

- Crochet Bobble Fringe Shawl Pattern
- Crochet Mock Cable Hat Pattern
Choice 2:
Grab the end from the one ball, then the other end from the same ball. This will use the same ball to do both strands. I demonstrate that in the tutorial below.
For me, I did Choice #2 to create my own version. There is a beautiful advantage in doing Choice 2 and I explain that in the tutorial below.

Winnie the pooh is a licensed character, we tend not to do anything that is licensed. I hope you enjoy the basket though.

I’ll be surprised if Mikey answers, as none of the above questions have been, but maybe someone else can tell me. Where can I find the pattern for this Marled Basket?
Mikey says
I had to request a copy as it was originally on Michael's Website and they pulled it down. I have now located and relinked it. Sorry for the delay. I am 100's of messages behind as I get messages faster than I can answer. I'm sorry.

On my phone, there was a box that said Download Pattern and that worked.
