Here is a pine needle basket I have started, the center is a wrapped plastic curtain ring stitched in a dream-catcher or spiderweb design. This makes an easy start for shaping the bottom of your basket. The pine needles are stitched using a simple V-stitch pattern.  All instructions and materials, including a stitch guide with traditional stitches, and materials are in our pine needle basket kit available here as item #5002 under the Pioneer Trading post label:
