Stashbuster Crocheted Basket June 6, 2026 12:30 pm to 3:30 (after SVWG regular meeting)
Location: Allen United Methodist Church
About this event
Kim McKinnon will be teaching us how to create the crocheted basket with handles that many of us have seen her working on lately. This will be a small version of the basket to demonstrate how to make the base, how to create the sides, and how to crochet the handles at the top. Several strands of various lengths, colors, and thicknesses of yarn are crocheted together to create a sturdy vessel. This is a great way to use up all those leftover ends of skeins, yarns that you know you'll never get around to using, and also an excellent use for recycled yarns. Please add this class to your calendar and start collecting those stash yarns. The large basket Kim has been working on used 3 pounds of scraps. The class project will be a smaller basket to allow for time to finish all the steps.
Cost: SVWG Member: $10
Non-Member: $15
Required skills: Ability to do a single crochet.
Bring to class: 1) For the class-size basket you will need about 3 ounces of scrap yarns of a thinner weight. Three or four strands will be crocheted as one. Any types are acceptable to combine - cotton, wool, acrylic, novelty, etc. (Kim will have some extra yarns at the class which may be purchased from her directly.) 2) A size J crochet hook (or close.) (Kim will have some extra hooks available for a nominal price.) Hook needs to be big enough to grab your selected threads. 3) Bring your own lunch and beverage.
