Just in time for Thanksgiving! These cute little baskets are a fun and quick project. I used a 6'' and 8'' wooden basket bottom along with t-shirt yarn in the colors Rusted Orange and Moss (500 grams each). All the materials can be found at Aster and Vine She has so many beautiful colors to choose from!
