The Changing Leaves Basket turns the crocodile stitch into a cascade of falling leaves in all the beautiful colors of autumn. A celebration and decoration for all things fall!

This basket is a great stash-buster! Or you can use all your various shades of green for something springy and summery! I think the Changing Leaves Basket perfectly captures both a modern, clean look, and a whimsical gnomes and fairies look - two of my favorites!

This basket is made in two parts that are then joined together. This creates a sturdier, more solid basket.

The handles are written in the style shown, but feel free to adjust them to your own taste, or omit them altogether.
