My felted SANTA BASKETS create a warm and cozy atmosphere - but they also come with a secret. The Santa’s sweaters are actually small baskets, and their funny hats act as lids. The hidden storage can hold Christmas candy, nuts or cookies.
The baskets can be knitted in two different sizes - in colors of your choice.
