The Granny Stitch Easter Basket is a delightful, timeless treasure that brings a burst of springtime joy to any home! With its classic granny stitch design worked back and forth in rows, this charming basket is both nostalgic and stylish, making it the perfect piece for Easter celebrations. Whether you’re filling it with colorful eggs, sweet treats, or festive decorations, its sturdy yet cozy texture adds a handmade touch of warmth. With detachable features, this basket is perfect for year-round use!

This Easter basket is worked with two strands of yarn held together throughout. First, we’ll crochet the bottom of the basket and set it aside. Next, we’ll create the body piece by working the granny stitch back and forth in rows, finishing with a scalloped edge. Finally, we’ll crochet the ears and handle and finish the basket by adding a fluffy tail.

A video tutorial is included with the pattern.
