♥ Easter baskets don’t get any cuter than this

Easter with a bit of hop! This bunny basket is perfect for collecting eggs, and it doubles as a sweet storage basket for toys all year long. All ages will love it.

The unique construction creates sturdy sides, so egg hunting is a success. The basket is worked from the bottom up, then the legs, head, handle and tail are made and assembled.
