Yarn Basket with Knitting Needles Embroidery Design, Instant Download

I drew this yarn basket for my mum last christmas, shes been knitting since she was 12 and her actual basket at home looks just like this one. The basket is brown woven wicker with a tall arched handle in rope-twist style. Inside it sits four yarn balls, mustard yellow on the left, grey-brown in the back, and a striped pink-and-cream ball on the right with a fat blue ball front and centre.

Four knitting needles poke straight up out the basket. Two pale wood needles on the left with mustard ball tips, and two darker grey metal needles on the right. So the design tells you straight away its a knitting kit, not a sewing or crochet kit. And below the basket theres a loose blue yarn strand snaking across plus a pink crochet hook with a curl of magenta yarn beside it.

But this is the dense end of the catalog. 8 sizes from 4.5 to 8.5 inches wide, stitch range 20k up to 42k, eleven colours total. The wicker pattern alone uses brown, dark-brown, and tan threads to fake the over-under shadow texture. professional tools handles the digitising, density logs at 766.

So stitch this on a thick canvas tote bag for the knitter in your life, on a cream cotton tea towel for a craft room, or as a 6 inch hoop frame piece mounted in a sewing nook. Skip soft jersey, that woven texture needs body or it puckers. Hoop with a medium cutaway stabiliser plus tearaway topping if your fabric has any nap. Pre-wind 4 bobbins before stitching the largest size, dont wanna pause mid-handle satin column.

Run rayon thread on the yarn balls for that subtle thread sheen, polyester for the wicker to keep it sturdy through wash. Email a quick photo if any thread keeps catching the densest fill.
