SIMPLE CROCHET EASTER BASKET The first basket is a very simple one perfect for the little chocolate eggs. For this model we will need: 100 grams of baby wool or nylon crochet thread in the color that you like best and a number 2 hook, as well as chocolate or candy eggs. The first piece will be the base of the basket, for this knit a magic ring with 6 single crochet, close the ring and the stitches with a slip stitch, then knit 12 single crochet, two in each stitch of the previous row. In the next 6 rows we are going to knit only double crochet, but knitting two stitches in each row.

At the end we cut the thread. To knit the body of the basket we are going to knit a 15 cm chain and measure if it is enough for the perimeter of the base, once it is attached we close with slip stitch and we are going to knit 5 cm half double crochet. At the end we join the base with a slip stitch, taking care that the body is perfectly well raised. We will finish this crochet Easter basket by placing a handle in the following way, fold the basket in half and mark both halves, then on one side we knit 5 slip stitches and we knit single crochets over them until we reach the other end to fix with a stitch slipped.

CROCHET EASTER BASKET WITH EASTER RABBIT This other crochet Easter basket is a little more complicated than the previous one but the result is very nice, so it is worth knitting it, we are going to need 100 grams of baby wool in pink, lilac and gray colors, 50 grams of wool white baby blanket, stuffed animal and a number 2 crochet hook.

We are going to weave a basket like the previous tutorial, but without the handle, once it is formed we are going to weave a pair of rabbit ears and feet. For the ears with the white wool we are going to knit 15 chain stitches, then we are going to knit a half double crochet in each stitch, when we reach 15 we are going to knit a half double crochet, a chain stitch and a half double crochet, in the following chain stitches we knit only half high stitches. We repeat an equal round with the white color, and two more with the lilac color or the color of the basket.

To knit the legs and tail we just have to make a magic ring with white wool and 6 single crochet, then we knit 12 single crochet, we knit another three rows with two increases in each row. Then we knit in the same way but we change the color of the yarn until we knit 7 more rows, then begin to knit decreases, before closing the stuffing and then closing. To finish this crochet Easter basket with the Easter rabbit, all you need to do is glue the ears, legs and tail of this rabbit in the basket and fill it with the Easter eggs.
