Ready to make the cutest Basket for Easter? Taking cues from the Easter bunny, this basket adds a delightful touch to your home decor for the season. It uses a perforated wooden base to give it more stability. With this project, you will learn how to work with a wooden base, without making the holes visible, and how to make a perfect finish. You will also learn how to do the centred double crochet stitch. It’s crochet, but looks like knitting and that is why it is also called a crochet knit stitch.

The Easter Bunny Basket was designed by Alanja Handmade from Companhia das Agulhas in Portugal.

The pattern includes step-by-step photos and several video tutorials that will help through the process.
