DESCRIPTION
My inspiration for this pattern came from the lemons found in abundance in the southern Italian groves lining the Amalfi Coast. The Limoncello Hanging Basket looks like a little ripe lemon in a not too cutesy way. Modern and simplistic, it is perfect for holding small essentials from your go to lip balms to your most used knitting notions!

SKILLS
This includes an advanced beginner level knitting pattern. The basket is knit flat and seamed together at the end and the techniques involved are knit, purl, sl1p, sl1k, k2tog, and ssk. All Frosia Knits patterns are written in standard US terms.

You will need 2 skeins of Lion Brand Re-Up Medium Weight Yarn (85% Cotton, 15% Polyester). Each skein is 114 yds (105 m) (sample was knit with sunflower and ecru). You will need about 61 yds (56 m) to complete one hanging basket. You can easily substitute any medium weight cotton yarn, just make sure to check your gauge.

FINISHED SIZE
Height: 5 inches (not including hanging loop)
Width: 4 inches

GAUGE
18 sts + 24 rows = 4” in stockinette
