There's nothing quite like having a knit basket or two around the house to add texture in a surprising way! This basket project is knit flat with only knit and purl stitches. Seam it up, gather the end, and fold it over, and you're done. In just a couple of hours, it will make the perfect gift or special piece to warm up any winter décor. Materials Required: :: 1 Skein Knit Collage Cast Away Yarn in Prism (100% wool; 68 - 70 yd, 100 g) (For a replacement, look for 70 yards of a bulky or chunky yarn):: US 11 (8mm straight) needles:: Darning Needle Gauge10 sts = 4" in pattern on US 11 needles (gauge isn't all that important for this project; it may just affect your basket size). Finished Size::: Unfinished piece measures 10" x 14" :: Fully folded basket measures 4" high, 6" in diameter (though you can fold to varying heights).
