New trend of environmental protection: DIY tutorial for creative storage baskets woven from waste yarn

While pursuing quality of life, environmental protection has become an important issue that we cannot ignore. The reuse of waste materials is not only about conserving resources, but also about respecting the environment. Today, let's work together to turn the idle waste yarn in our home into treasure, weaving a creative storage basket that is both beautiful and practical, adding a touch of warmth and greenery to our home life.

Prepare materials

Waste yarn (color and material can be chosen according to personal preferences)

Weaving needles (it is recommended to choose thicker needles for easier weaving and shaping)

scissors

Weaving ring (optional, used to fix the starting and ending parts, making the weaving process smoother)

Weaving steps

Step 1: Design the bottom

Firstly, we need to weave a sturdy bottom. You can choose to use a flat needle or a lifting needle, depending on your personal proficiency level. Suggest weaving the bottom slightly larger to increase the stability of the storage basket. After weaving to the desired size, use a knitting needle to thread the thread through several rows and secure it to prevent detachment.

Step 2: Weave the side

After the bottom is completed, start weaving the sides upwards around the bottom edge. You can choose to continue to use flat stitches, or try more interesting knitting patterns, such as Fried Dough Twists braids, cross stitches, etc., to add unique charm to the storage basket. Pay attention to maintaining even and tight stitches to ensure the durability of the storage basket.

Step 3: Adjust the shape

As the weaving progresses, gradually adjust the shape of the storage basket to make it more in line with actual needs. The weaving density and height can be adjusted as needed to achieve the desired storage effect. Meanwhile, pay attention to maintaining the smoothness and aesthetics of the weaving.

Step 4: Closing work

When the storage basket is woven to the predetermined height, the finishing work begins. Thread the remaining yarn through a few lines and secure it to ensure that the ends do not come loose. If necessary, woven loops can be used to hide the thread ends, making the storage basket look more neat and beautiful.

Creative Expansion

In addition to basic weaving techniques, you can also try adding some creative elements to the storage basket, such as weaving handles, decorative lace, etc., to make it more personalized and practical. In addition, using yarn of different colors and materials in combination can also create completely different visual effects.
