What makers are saying

"This basket pattern is going along very smoothly. Easy to read pattern! I can’t wait to finish it!"

Questions before you buy

  • Yes. If you can chain and double crochet, the pattern walks you through front and back post stitches with a photo for every step

  • Yes. The waffle stitch makes a thick fabric that holds the sides up on its own. No starch, no cardboard.

  • A 4mm hook (US G/6) works well for all six patterns. I use DMC Eco Vita, but any cotton yarn in a similar weight will work. The pattern lists exactly how much yarn you’ll need.

  • Email me. I answer pattern questions myself.

  • This is a digital collection, so nothing will arrive in the post. Straight after checkout you’ll get access to your private library, where you can download your patterns and resources whenever you like.

  • Yes, you can sell finished pieces you make yourself. Please credit Mouse & Sparrow as the designer, and no mass production or using my photos to sell them. The patterns themselves can’t be shared, copied or resold.

  • US or UK terms?

    I have covered both terms. Each version is fully written in its own terms, so you never have to translate stitches.
