Free patterns for both top-down AND bottom-up basket nests for all types of small animals in two common plastic container sizes. Tips and details included. Nests can stand alone or be used to line an average sour cream or large butter tub size container. Ask your local rescue center what they currently need and start stitching! Super bulky weight yarn or worsted held double will both work. Worked on double-pointed needles. The larger size nest requires 8” long double-point needles.
