Introducing the Vegetable Basket Knitting Pattern! This delightful set includes sweet potato, carrot, tomato, peas, mushroom, and a basket to hold them all. Each piece is knitted in the round, except for the peas, which are knitted flat. The vegetables that I created are a mix of alpaca, wool, and cotton yarns. The basket is knitted with two strands of yarn held together and with larger needles to create contrasting colors.

The pattern also involves simple embroidery to make the tomato stem and a fun technique of adding and braiding fringes to craft the carrot stems.
