Festive and Fast!

The Candy Corn Door Basket is gorgeous and thick with Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick and tons of post stitches. It's got a fantastic rustic look in these colors, but could have a more modern and sleek look with other colors - you could even make it sparkle with metallics!

Filled with a foam ball stuffed with silk flowers, the Candy Corn Door Basket is a fun and colorful celebration of the autumn that you can whip up in an afternoon. It's a great look that will carry you throughout the season, and can be made other colors throughout the year as well!
