Crochet Marled Basket Pattern

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.

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.
