The finished basket is 6.25″ tall and 7.5″ across. The lid is 1″ tall and 8″ across.

Materials:
200 yards of worsted weight yarn for the basket. I used I Love This Yarn in Sunrise Sky.
50 yard of worsted weight yarn for the lid. I used I Love This Yarn in Linen.
Filler yarn for the basket. This yarn will only be visible from the inside of the basket and is used to keep the sides of the basket stiff. I used Lion Brand Homespun in Colonial because I had some left over from a previous project.
