Crochet Easter egg basket pattern

Comments (0) | Likes (13)Posted on 11.04.2022

This is a basic basket with a nice crochet pattern for the side. If you want you can also use just single crochet stitches, half double crochet stitches, double crochet stitches but here I will also put two (2) diagrams for a basic lace effect. The first one will be on the base of 4 stitches and the second one will have the base of 8 stitches.

The bottom of the basket – base is a crochet circle with a base count of 8 single crochet stitches. I was reading about it and found out that to have a flat circle the base should be done in increases of eight (8) stitches – so 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, ...

The stitches used in this pattern are:

sl st – slip stitch
ch – chain stitch
sc – single crochet stitch
inc – single crochet increase stitch (make 2 in 1)
dc – double crochet stich

Materials and supplies needed for the project:

crochet hook (pick your size regarding the yarn)
yarn (cotton)
scissors
needle
water / sugar mixture to block / harden the basket

Pattern for the base:

magic ring
R1: 8sc – 8st
R2: 8inc – 16st
R3: {sc, inc} x8 – 24st
R4: {sc, inc, sc} x8 – 32st
R5: {inc,3sc} x8 – 40st
R6: {2sc, inc, 2sc} x8 – 48st
R7: {inc,3sc} x8 – 56st
R8: {2sc, inc, 2sc} x8 – 64st

and so on...

The handle in the yellow crochet basket is made into the part where the 3 double crochet stitches are and it is joined on the other side into the same count of stitches. If you are using your own pattern for the side you have to count the stitches to make it even.
