It requires no sewing - aside from weaving in ends (and you don't even have to do that - just stuff the ends into the basket and cover with grass!)
This pattern takes very little time to work up, so they make for great favors at your dinner party. Put an egg or two inside filled with some treats and you're ready to celebrate.
I hope you enjoy this pattern; definitely let me know if you've made anything out of it because I'd love to see your version! Visit the pattern page on Ravelry to add yours!
