Moccasin Felted Baskets
The soft structure of these baskets reminds me of a pair comfortable old moccasins, hence the name. They are knit in the round with two strands of Cascade Eco yarn, then felted in a washing machine. Complete instructions are provided for the felting and shaping process.

Needles: Size US15 circular needle (24” long)
Notions: Scissors, darning needle, stitch marker, and washing machine for felting
