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.

This is such a cute project to make for the Holidays, and I could make these for next year and put candy in them as a gift. Such nice colors and pattern.
I can’t crochet to save my soul but my mom likes to. I’m going to print this pattern for her because I think it’d something she’d enjoy making.
Thanks Terra! I hope she loves it and shares her finished creation!
This is so cute, I wish that I could make this.
If I can make it, anyone can! That’s the best part about the pattern. It works even if you goof – the number of stitches around doesn’t matter as long as their consistent up the sides. Try it!
