This crochet basket pattern uses amigurumi to upcycle a dollar store basket into an adorable easter basket with a plushy attached.

Easter baskets with stuffed toys attached are always a hit with my kids. They add some funk to their basket and make the egg hunt that much more fun.

This pattern is for crochet only.

All patterns are written in English, in US terms using Craft Yarn Council abbreviations.
