4″ tall (6″ with fold over extended) x 8″ round

I loved creating this second pattern in my free holiday crochet patterns series and will be using it to make more for holiday gifts. I imagine it filled with baked goods, bath items, books and treats, and more in them. I’m going to experiment with 3-strands for a larger basket soon and I’ll increase the size of the bells and jump rings to a larger size as well.
