Spring is finally here and Easter is just around the corner! In the spirit of the season, I have a brand new, totally free crochet Easter basket pattern for you to make for your little egg hunters.

This Springy Crochet Easter Basket is made using the wonderful and amazing to work with Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick Variegated yarn.

When making baskets, I typically use a crochet hook that is a size or two smaller than recommended to make the stitches nice and sturdy. In addition, I like to make my stitches fairly tight.

For this reason, I feel the need to give you fair warning that your hands might get a little bit sore when making baskets or similar projects. Be sure to take as many breaks as you need to prevent any issues!
