Crochet cheery Easter eggs with a complimenting oval basket to display them as part of your springtime home decor. Basket will accommodate 4-5 of the jumbo eggs.

Basket is a crochet stitch that mimmicks a basketweave look. There is a video tutorial that helps you get the steps right for a good basket result. Basket is 14” long and 4” wide. Worked with two strands held together to add body and a bit of stiffness.

Tutti Fruitti egg (multi color dots) technique also has a video tutorial to help quickly work through changing colors and not having extra ends to weave in.

Pattern is in US terms.

Supplies needed:
