Crochet Halloween Basket Pattern

From the blogger: "Crochet Halloween Baskets and bags and pumpkins abound right now. However, this one is not like the rest. This basket uses a wood or aluminum base and also has stuffed sides to give it a fun, full shape, just like a pumpkin! You could even add a strap so you can use it for trick-or-treating as well. When you finish the evening, just tuck the strap in, and you have an adorable basket to store your treats in!"
