This is adorable. I thought I had already commented on this but do not see it. What I like is that it is a perfect size for a few jelly beans, a Hershey's Miniature, and a marshmallow bunny. AND, it is SO easy to do. I can see myself also doing these during the year in appropriate colors for other holidays. They's make great "favor" baskets, too.

X favor alguien me puede decir como se hace no entiendo el tutorial se me hace dificil por favor.....gracias anticipadamente
ReplyDeleteLove this little basket. Made 3 for grandbabies. I also used to colors of yarn to make 3 more larger and used a k hook. Love it. Thanks for pattern. Vivian
ReplyDeleteI am still using and loving this pattern. Today and tomorrow, will be making 12 for treat baskets for neighbors, in Christmas variegated colors...they are adorable and perfectly sized to place a paper cupcake liner inside of them...thanks again for posting and sharing this which has been a fave of mine since I first found it in 2010!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great pattern! They're easy to make and are able to be made in about ten minutes. However, there is a suggestion I would like to make: When you finish R5, you don't have to fasten off. Since you're already at a sc space, you can connect your R5 to that sc space and from there just chain 22, then connect to the other side and then fasten off.
