Hi friends,

I have a sweet little crochet Easter basket pattern to share with you today. It’s the perfect size for little Easter treats and they are great for using up yarn scraps. 🙂

I stitched up my baskets using I Love This Yarn in Light Peach and Buttercup using an H/5mm crochet hook. This pattern includes crocheting in the third loop for rounds 7-9. This is a great tutorial if you need help with that. You can find the pattern below along with a link to a free PDF if you’d like to easily print it.

I added 10 Hershey’s Kisses to a cellophane treat bag, tied it with orange/white bakers twine, and tucked it inside the Little Crochet Easter Baskets. These are fun to give to the kids’ friends, Sunday school class, or as favors on the Easter dinner table.

The little baskets work up quickly with your favorite worsted weight yarn in acrylic, cotton, or polyester. Look in your stash and use up those little bits of yarn you’ve been saving!

I also have another little Easter basket crochet patterns – you can find it here. 🙂
