Winterberry Basket—Free Christmas Crochet Pattern
It’s starting to feel like Christmas…have you started on your Christmas presents yet? The Winterberry Basket is a free crochet pattern that would be perfect for your crochet Christmas decor!
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. 🙂

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! 🙂
