Mule Skinner Basket -- Pattern Sheet

A full 14 inches tall, this beautiful basket brings to life the 'days on the trail' of the pioneers. With the adjustable leather mule bridle, made in Allen County, Kentucky, carrying your favorite gear is easy and comfortable. Hang it on your wagon or put it to work for your lifestyle today. It’s a great intermediate-level project featuring shadow weave with natural and dyed reed, a filled bottom, the beautiful bridle handle, and a double lashed rim.   Base: 7 inches x 11 inches; height: 14 inches. Thanks to Joanne Dunaway, friend and fellow Kentucky basket maker, and to Lynne Marrs Hammer Ferguson, Artist in Residence, Kentucky Museum at Western Kentucky University, for their inspiration in developing this pattern.
