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!
