Two Free Patterns- Stash Baskets!

I had a bunch of this green and off-white yarn left over from a previous project calling for two strands held together. So I decided to continue with the two strands theme and see what else I could get out of these 4 skeins. Turns out, quite a bit! I made a pair of slippers, via this pattern right here, and came up with two new basket patterns! I love how quickly they come together, and the double thickness makes the walls nice and sturdy, so they hold their shape well even with nothing in them. Scroll down to see the patterns, and feel free to leave any corrections, suggestions, or variations in the comments.
