If you’re like me, you probably have good intentions about making Christmas gifts for everyone you know…but in reality, that might not happen.

However, if you’re reading this post now looking for Christmas patterns, you have a pretty good start on things! This basket does not take long to make, so you’ll definitely come out ahead when you’re done.

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links.

The yarn I used for this pattern is the classic Red Heart Super Saver. Any worsted weight yarn should do fine with this basket, but super saver is a bit of a staple for me, haha—and especially for items around the house like this!

If you are interested in an ad-free, easy to print version of this pattern, it can be found HERE. A big thank you to everyone who decides to purchase—I wish I could show you the big smile on my face every time I see a sale come through!

One thing I love about these baskets is how quickly they work up. I finished one in an afternoon! They are also easy to make while watching Netflix.

Moonbeam Basket Yarn

I used super bulky yarn for this pattern (in the number 6 category). The specific yarn I used is Cascade Lana Grande. However, any super bulky yarn would work!
