Flower Easter Basket

Design by Lisa Ferrel/My Fingers Fly.

Crochet an easy Easter basket and use flower buttons to decorate the sides. This pattern uses a double strand of worsted weight yarn in several colors, along with worsted paired with eyelash yarn for the “grass” section at the bottom. Sew on multicolored flower buttons and embroider the flower stems for a beautiful springtime basket. Fill it with goodies for a unique Easter gift.

Due to the buttons used to decorate the basket, this pattern is not recommended for children under 3 years of age.

Finished Measurement: Approximately 9” diameter by 5″ deep. Add or remove rows to customize the depth of the basket.
