Substituting Yarn

The “Fall for Granny Baskets” pattern is designed to be crocheted using a bulky weight #5 yarn, specifically leaning towards the heavier side of the bulky spectrum. It’s important to note that some colours within this yarn category may vary in thickness, leading to slight differences in yardage. To ensure that you have enough yarn for your project, we recommend having some extra yarn on hand to avoid running short.

If you choose to use a substitute yarn, be sure to check your gauge to ensure that your baskets come out to the intended size. You may need to adjust your hook size accordingly.

We’ve provided a list of suitable yarn substitutes below. Additionally, you can create a bulky weight yarn by holding two strands of worsted-weight yarn together. This method provides flexibility in colour matching with our “Fall for Granny” pumpkin and blanket patterns, and it’s also a fantastic way to use up your yarn stash.

Various colors of yarn, a wooden crochet hook, pinecones, wooden beads, and greenery arranged on a flat surface alongside a charming Granny Stitch Basket.
