I got the pattern from Creative Knitting - March 2006 - It's a pretty basic pattern - a garter stitch base - 17 stitches by 31 rows (or whatever size you want) - you then pick up stitches all around (again, however many you want) and then knit in the round. I did a few on double pointed needles - but I quickly switched to circular - the "walls" of the basket are (pre-felting) about 7 inches - you just use your imagination as far as the decoration - the handle is an i cord (not yet owned by apple).
The real fun comes after felting - you just pick what shape you want. it's great.
