Happy Easter basket for happy people! This bright and happy Rainbow Stripes Crochet Easter Basket, designed by Jen of Jam made, comes with a free written pattern and also an easy-to-follow tutorial. This cute basket is one of those quick and easy projects you make for a fun and you’re sure everybody is going to love it! Jam has even a few suggestions on her blog for the little things ( free patterns as well) you can make to fill this lovely Easter basket.

Materials:

8ply (DK) acrylic yarn, in you choice of colours. I used 6 colours for the pink basket, and 8 for the blue. You will use 2 strands of each colour worked together for the basket, and single strand for the bows.

NOTE: Make sure you DON’T use the ‘softee’ acrylic yarn as your basket will not stand up as well as it should.

Hooks: (US)-G, 4mm (US)-H, 5mm

Stitches used: US sc (UK dc) and crab stitch.

Notes: Work your first sc in the same spot as beg ch, in each round of basket.
