Crochet Easter Egg Flower Basket
|
Crochet basket with a popcorn stitch that looks like a tulip flower. These small baskets can hold an easter egg.
The pattern can be easily adjusted to any size of an egg - that can be normal or a crochet one.

Notes while crocheting
The increase is of the number of six (6) until you reach the desired size of the bottom of a basket.
For my egg and my crochet hook I only needed to go up to stitch count of 36. If you need a smaller basket, then you can stop at 30 stitches or 24 and if you want to make a bigger basket then you can continue with the increases of 6 until the size you want (42 or even 48 stitches).
A new stitch here is a popcorn crochet stitch, that does pop out and create an effect of a tulip bloom, but don't worry all is explained in the video tutorial.
For all the stitches I also made some diagrams for you to look at and see how the stitches are done.
It takes a bit more time to make than other raised stitches, but it’s well worth the effort.
The stitches used in this pattern for the crochet easter egg basket:
- sl st - slip stitch
- ch - chain stitch
- sc - single crochet stitch
- inc - increase single crochet stitch – make 2sc in 1
- dc - double crochet stitch
- pop - popcorn stitch
Materials needed for the crochet easter egg basket:
- crochet hook (3mm)
- yarn (appropriate size for the crochet hook) and in diferent colours
- scissors
- needle

Now comes the fun part of crocheting. But first!
How to make a crochet popcorn stitch:
- step 1: make 5 dc in the same stitch
- step 2: drop the loop from your hook
- step 3: insert your crochet hook from front to back just below the top two loops of the first dc of the group
- step 4: grab the loop that was dropped in step 2 with your crochet hook and pull it through the stitch
Pattern for the crochet easter egg basket:
Starting with base color of white:
- R1: 6sc - 6st
- R2: 6inc - 12st
- R3: {sc, inc} x6 - 18st
- R4: {sc, sc, inc} x6 - 24st
- R5: {sc, sc, sc, inc} x6 - 30st
- R6: {sc, sc, inc, sc, sc} x6 - 36st
- R7, R8, R9, R10: 36sc - 36st
- After row 10 cut yarn and make the invisible join.
- With the color green for the leaves
- R11: (ch3, ch1, dc), skip 2 stitches, {(dc, ch1, dc), skip 2 stitches} x11 , cut yarn, join invisibly - all together you will have 12 triangles
- With the color red - flowers with the popcorn stitch
- R12: in each of the 12 triangles you make in the ch1: (pop, ch2) x12 - where the first popcorn stitch is made with a ch3 that counts as the first dc and 4 dc, for the rest you do a pop with 5dc - cut yarn, join invisibly
- Now back to the base color - white
- R13: in each of the 12 ch2 holes you make: sc in the red, sc in the red and green, sc in the red - the second single crochet is pulled over R11 and R12, so it fills the gap a bit cut yarn, join invisibly - 36st
