Pansies Hanging Basket

The pattern has instructions for knitting the flowers and leaves and how to wire them for the arrangement. This is a great yarn buster project to use all those lovely small quantities of yarn you have left over. I have filled a 24 cm (10 inches) diameter container, but you could use a smaller or larger one, just knit fewer or more flowers and leaves.
