coaster basket and lid very nice and thanks for sharing i used cotton yarn and a g hook
but think the top could be shorter how would ya make it shorter and do you
thikk using regular yarn it would stand up better please email me love your pattern
I’m glad you enjoyed the pattern. The cotton I used was pretty sturdy and the lid fit just perfect for me. Of course if you want to make the top shorter, simply do fewer rows.
This looks great, and I’m looking forward to making it. By the way, how did you make the pompom?
I used one of the smaller sizes of Clover Pom Pom makers—such a fun tool!
