Crochet Easter Basket

Basket:

With green yarn and holding 2 strands together throughout, make a magic ring.

R1:  6 sc into ring (6 sts). Work in rounds.

R2:  2 sc in ea st around (12 st)

R3:  *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (18 st)

R4:  *sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (24 st)

R5:  *sc in next 3 st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (30 st)

R6:  *sc in next 4 st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (36 st)

R7:  *sc in next 5 st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (42 st)

R8: *sc in next 6 st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (48 st)

R9: *sc in next 7 st, 2 sc in next st, repeat from * around (54 st)

Now you will work up the sides of the basket, continuing to work in the round.

R10: hdc through the back loop (this round only) in each st around (54 st)

R11-17:  hdc around, working in both loops. (54 st)

R18: sc in 1st st, then working in the front loop only, sl st in ea st around.  Sl st into 1st sc of the round.  Fasten off and weave in ends.

Basket Handle:

Using pipe cleaner will allow the handle to hold it’s rounded shape.  However it is optional. 

Handle is worked with 2 strands of yarn, on the right side only, starting and stopping the yarn at each row.  Leave a long strand on each side for sewing the handle on the bag)

With green, and holding 2 strands together throughout, chain 35.

R1:  sc in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across.  Fasten off. (34 st)

R2:  With right side facing, attach green to the 1st st in row 1.  Hold pipe cleaner on edge, ch 1, sc in same stitch as joining, sc across, working over pipe cleaner as you work the single crochet stitches.  Fasten off.   There should be just a little bit of pipe cleaner, extending out on both sides of the stitches.  Turn this edge to the right side-it will be hidden under the edge of the basket. (34 st)

R3:  Flip work and attach green on opposite side of starting chain and single crochet in each chain across, working over 2nd pipe cleaner.  Fasten off and tuck ends of pipe cleaner as previously described. (34 st)

** If making handle without pipe cleaner, work a 4th row of sc, starting in the 1st sc of row 3.**

Sew each side of the handle on the bag across from each other.  Sew on tight, inside the basket, just under the sl st border stitches.  Weave in any ends.

Crochet Easter Basket

The flower for this crochet Easter basket is made following the Loopy Flower Pattern here.  Using pink, make loopy flower.

Sew button, if desired, in center of flower, with needle and sewing thread.  Then attach flower to basket, using yarn and tapestry needle.
