Creme Egg Bunny Basket Crochet Pattern

If you’re hunting for a quick Easter gift idea then I’ve got you covered. This creme egg bunny basket crochet pattern is so quick and easy to make – perfect for kids to give to their friends or teachers.

Crochet purple mini bunny basket with a creme egg inside.

The baskets are made all in one piece so there’s no sewing and only 2 ends to weave in.

I’ve used the ‘X’ variation of the single crochet stitch as I think it works well here.

If you would like to try it, it’s as simple as making your first yarn over a yarn under so instead of yarn over, yarn over you would do yarn under, yarn over.
