Make a batch of Needlepoint Easter Baskets for the Holidays.

This needlepoint pattern uses the Wicker Stitch and other basic needlepoint stitches.

The finished size of the basket depends entirely on the size of canvas used. In this sample, I used 16-count Mono Canvas canvas and stitched the design using just 3 colors of Tapestry Wool, which makes the finished size of the basket approximately 3" wide by 6" height (including the handle).
