The perfect gift for a new baby. Here's an updated tutorial on how to crochet a Moses Basket.
This is an update to my very first YouTube video posted Oct 2021. It includes answers to many of the questions that were asked in the comments of that video and also incorporates some things that I neglected to include in the first video.
I hope that this update is much more helpful for those of you who take on this project. Happy Crafting!

That’s control. That’s finesse. That’s Drift Boss.
I can't find a written pattern for this anywhere. Does anyone have suggestions?
Loved your pattern made this for one of my best friends I am so proud! Thank you so much for your content!
Yeah, I’ve looked into cryptocurrency online casino quite a bit. What I like is the speed and the fact that your funds don’t fluctuate like BTC or ETH. TRC-20 transfers are especially fast and cheap. If you're after anonymity and quick cashouts, look for no-KYC platforms. I’ve had a good time with mobile-friendly ones—easy to jump in and out while on the go.
Hi Krysten, I am in the process of making my first Moses basket for a grandson that is due in June. I have never used braided yarn before! I am currently on Round 7 and I am worried that there is too much of a bowl shape at the bottom and there is slight movement in the side - the curved section is quite taute, I was wondering if I should take it back to the setup round and start again. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
