An easy crochet pattern for a cute Santa Claus Christmas basket. Perfect as a gift or candy basket. The basket in the picture is about 4 x 5 inches but the pattern includes directions for changes to make it larger.

The pattern is not difficult, it is crocheted in the round using two strands of yarn for stability. The pattern calls for easy to find cotton worsted weight yarn like Lily Sugar and Cream.
