Pattern Description:

These baskets are very sweet and easy to make. You can create a bunny, chick, frog or plain basket.

Material is fused to the wrong side of the fabric so the baskets hold their shape. I fused white duck cloth to the fabric. Other materials that you can use are felt (wool or acrylic) or iron-on interfacing.

Patterns can be reduced or enlarged to make different size baskets.

This nine page PDF e-pattern includes: full size patterns, materials list, detailed instructions written in English, clear step-by-step photographs.
