Fun, cute little autumn containers for a holiday table, woodland themed nursery, or the person who has everything. Hold pocket loot, barrettes, sewing notions, candy stash, supplies around your desk, and more.. Baskets are soft on surfaces, yet sturdy and curiously adorable!

DIMENSIONS:
4.5 x 4.5-in
(11.5 x 11.5) cm

Crochet first with double strands of wool. Then, do the felting process in the washing machine. Hot water, detergent, and agitation will cause stitches to shrink, cling, and tangle together to form a durable solid fabric that you can shape and let dry.

Clearly written, user-friendly instructions.

SKILL: Easy

Basic crochet stitches
(U.S. terms)
