Easter Egg Hunt Crochet Basket Free Pattern & Tutorial

I love Easter time (& chocolate!) and spending it with my two young girls. Watching them get excited receiving easter eggs and taking part in the easter egg hunt that my husband creates every year is just joyous to watch.

This year I have made them lovely soft egg baskets that they can use whilst they whizz around the garden searching for their Easter prizes. Once the hunt is done they will be used in their bedrooms to store their little trinkets, hairbands and little lip balms I imagine.

I have created a video tutorial on how to make these lovely little crochet Easter egg baskets that also has an onscreen pattern you can follow. Or if you find it easier I put it just down below for you.

I hope you get so much enjoyment from making this basket for the little ones in your life.

I wish you all a happy Easter!
