Wicker-Weave Mini Basket

By: Stephanie Gardner for AllFreeCrochet
Wicker-Weave Mini Basket

"I came up with this cute little basket pattern when I realized my kids didn't have Easter hunt baskets! It's just little (approx 5in x 5in) and perfect for home decor or gifts! You'll need worsted weight yarn, a 4mm crochet hook, a yarn needle and scissors. It takes approx 1-3 hours to create (longer if you have kids interrupting like I do LOL) and it's great fun. When you've finished you'll have gained lots of practice in some great techniques and a cute new basket!"
