Glasses holder pig oval basket

This is a knitting pattern for a quirky and practical ‘pig glasses holder’.

The size is perfect for eyeglasses, but the basket can also be used for your desk to hold pens, pencils and other small items. This basket would also make a fun gift too.And you can play around with the position of the ears!

Because it is a knitted basket, it is not a sturdy basket, but when you put it down the curled edge will hold the items in.
