I just love how easy they are to make and you only need one material, wool rope! Once you know the basics of making a woven rope basket, the possibilities are pretty much endless. You can play with different basket forms and shapes, changing colors, mixing up materials, adding fun elements like tassels or pom-poms, etc. I tried to make this tutorial as understandable as possible, with tons of pictures. Any other visual learners around here?! Let’s begin! What You’ll Need 17 yards of 5mm felted wool rope I used felted wool rope from my shop in the color sea spray Bowl or basket for a mold Scissors Tape measure *this tutorial uses 5mm rope, but you can use it for the 10mm rope too, I would just double the lengths of the rope and size of the mold. Step 1. Cut the rope into warp and weft pieces. For the warp you’ll need 12, 18” strands. For the weft you’ll need 11 yards divided in half, but still connected. Make a slipknot in the middle and separately wind each end into a ball. Step 2. Group the 12 warp strands into 6 pairs. Step 3. Arrange three pairs of strands horizontally and parallel to each other. Interlace each vertical pair alternatively over and under the horizontal pairs. Ensure that the woven square forms at the midpoint of all the pairs. Carefully tighten the square to the fullest extent possible. It’s like lattice work on a pie! Step 4. Take a piece of scrap yarn and tie a knot on the leftmost strand among the vertical pairs of rope. It serves as a helpful marker for the starting point of each weaving round. Step 5. Now take your weft rope that has been wound into two balls, undoing the slipknot and placing the center of the rope around the pair where you tied the marker knot. Step 6. Let's begin the weaving process by maneuvering around the warp spokes. Take the two lengths of weft yarn and twist or twine them around each pair of yarn warp. Here's how it works: as you transition to a new pair of warp strands, bring the lower strand up and the upper strand down, creating a twist or twine effect. Continue this pattern as you move around the warp pairs. It's important to keep an eye on the weft balls of yarn as you weave. Every several rotations, pause to untangle and straighten the bundles of weft. This will ensure a smooth weaving experience and help maintain the neatness of your project. Step 7. Keep weaving around the square, which is gradually transforming into a circle, as you continue twining the two yarn lengths around each pair of warp strands. While you weave, tighten the center. Make sure to adjust and tighten the initial round or two of weft as necessary to maintain a uniform and snug weaving pattern. This process will help create a well-crafted base for your basket. Step 8. Once you’ve woven a circle that fits the base of your mold, place it on your upside down mold, so that your basket can start to take shape. Step 9. As you go around the circle, pull the weft threads snuggly against the mold's shape. This will help the woven piece match the shape of the mold. When transitioning from flat to vertical, pull the diameter of these rounds tightly enough to turn it vertically, but not too tight that the base pops off. Once you've safely made it around the corner, keep weaving and tightening the weft for a snug fit around the mold. Step 10. Once you've twined the warp pairs four times around (use your knot as a reference for the start of a round), it's time to twine each warp strand individually. Continue the pattern around the circle, treating each warp thread separately. Step 11. Once you reach the desired height for your basket, take the woven piece off the mold and flip it over. Trim the weft ends, leaving about 4 inches. Take each end and tuck it beneath the weft rows' channel where it hangs. Tuck the excess length inside the basket. Step 12. To complete the warp ends, take each warp strand and bring it behind the one to its left. Then, guide it down the weft channel of the next warp thread (which is two spaces over from its starting point). Make sure to pass it under at least 3 or 4 strands for a secure hold. Again, tuck the remaining length inside the basket. Step 13. Tighten each warp end to tidy up the braid along the top edge of the basket. Feel free to adjust the shape of the basket to your liking, making small adjustments if needed. Step 14. Trim the extra lengths from the ends inside the basket. Then boom, you have your very own woven basket!! I had so much fun making these and have a bunch of ideas in my head for similar projects that I can’t wait to make! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and it inspires you to make some baskets and bowls with felted wool rope! You can shop the 10mm wool rope here, and the 5mm here.

I'm not sure why I got so set on making a rope basket. I've never made one before. I blame Pinterest and its plethora of cool Autumn-friendly crafts which tricked my brain into thinking it was scarf-knitting time (which is ridiculous, because it was hotter last weekend than it has been all summer in the Bay Area) so I settled on a woven basket which seemed practical and not reliant on weather to use. After a bit of research, I realized that most people are going the easy smart route and simply gluing rope to existing containers. And while I think those look quite cool, I knew that type of project would not really satiate my need to knit something. Upon further investigation, I realized that rope baskets aren't knit, but crocheted... a skill I do not have. Whatevs! I decided to wing it! I bought some sisal rope at my local Ace and found some yarn in my personal stash. My approach was pretty simple: wrap yarn around rope, two layers at a time. Repeat, repeat, repeat. It didn't take long before I realized the wrapping of the yarn around the inner (or lower) length of rope was hard to do without some sort of tool. I considered the fact that a crochet hook was probably the tool I needed, but I wasn't interested in buying one just for this project. So I scanned the room for something that could work, and found a hair clip. It won't be much help in the hair department anymore, but now it's a basket-weaving champ! Can I just say that this sacrificed hair clip was the perfect tool for basket weaving?? I really got my rhythm down and several episodes of crappy television later, I had a basket. I made a freaking basket with rope and a hair clip! I'm like MacGyver. But with crafts. I'm pretty thrilled with the results. The basket ended up being about 6 inches wall and 10 inches wide, with just an 8 inch piece of rope leftover. I am tempted to buy a 100 ft rope and make a larger basket to match! The basket is slouchy, but not too delicate. It reminds me of this basket from West Elm a little bit. Except with yarn. And smaller. But still functional and rustic and stuff. While I don't really have instructions, I can share some tips for anyone else attempting this. You may want to go heavy on the yarn in the very beginning. I didn't, and it resulted in a thumb-sized hole in the center of the bottom. Don't cut the rope. It is easier to work with if it is continuous. The yarn has to be cut to work with. I recommend cutting lengths to about a yard at a time. When you have about 4 inches left, tie on the new section to continue. I wasn't terribly careful about where the transitions happened, but you could be more careful and tuck them into the seams if it bothers you. It is not difficult to transition from the bottom to the sides (just start building on top of the outer ring) but it is challenging to keep the sides even and straight. It is best to regularly pulled the walls upward (since they slouch) to make sure you're not widening or narrowing accidentally. The handles were formed by slightly widening the top three layers of the walls and not wrapping the yarn around the lower layer to leave a gap. I did wrap the yarn around three layers at the start and stop of the handle to help give a little more support. That's it! Would you make one of these? Would you use a bent hair clip? I've linked up to Remodelaholic's and Tatertots & Jello's link parties.

After attempting to learn to crochet, Patford realized it was not for her and instead turned to artists who were working with rope like Doug Johnston, who remains one of her heroes. “I muddled my way through the Internet to find a process that worked with my abilities and with what I had at home. I had a sewing machine and paint — and the baskets were born,” she says.

This beautiful storage basket is a nod to the traditional rope-making skills of seafaring folk of days gone by - so we’ve affectionately called it the Seafarer. Use this piece for storing throws and pillows in the lounge room, blankets in the bedroom, or to corral children's toys and books. A more relaxed, slouchy style of basket with chunky rope-like macrame handles, this piece always looks it's best when it's full. The textural weave and natural jute will add warmth and character to any room and is neutral enough to work in most interiors. The Seafarer is the perfect way to settle both practical storage and style in one basket. Designed by The Dharma Door and handmade by talented women artisans in a rural community of Bangladesh. A genuine Fair Trade partnership ensures the women who make these baskets are paid fairly, provided with consistent work and safe working conditions, among a host of other benefits that are in keeping with the Ten Principles of Fair Trade. Size How it's made Care 48cm diameter x 25cm high / 15.8in diameter x 9.8in high Twisted, woven & knotted jute - We always ship our baskets folded flat so they will need a little assistance to find their shape. Jute is very pliable so where there are creases, fold them back onto themselves. You might need to do this a few times to the point where the creases almost disappear. We then recommend stuffing your baskets with a blanket or towels for a couple of days so they can find their shape.- This robust basket has been designed to last however jute changes colour in the sun, so be sure to keep it clear of harsh rays.- If you're putting potted plants in this basket, remember to place a plastic tray underneath the plant pot to collect water.- To clean, we suggest you vacuum your basket or occasionally take it outside on a dry day and shake it to dislodge dirt or dust particles.- Blot water-based spills with kitchen paper or an absorbent cloth as soon as possible. Do not rub stains or spills from your basket as this may spread the stain and loosen the jute fibres. For oil-based or coloured spills, please consult a specialist cleaning professional.- You may choose a protection treatment prior to using your basket. We recommend MicroSeal who offer a DIY protection and cleaning kit suitable for jute fibres.
