These baskets can nest serving bowls, keep nursery organized, hold sewing notions, store projects, & be filled with holiday treats or shower gifts. Soft, flexible, durable, and easy to make!

Crochet first with two strands held together. 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 is shaped and left to dry.
