The pattern includes written instructions and charts (it is not necessary to be able to read charts) for knitting in the round oval basket.

This basket is perfect for displaying Easter eggs, Easter
or Christmas decorations, storing yarn and knitting projects.

The pattern allows to knit a basket of any size.
It may be knit in any yarn weight; in order to keep fabric tight enough, use needles smaller than what’s recommended for the yarn.
