Love the Easter crochet basket, got the inspiration from these baskets for this project.
This attractive basket is quick and easy to make and is a good bazaar or gift item. It can be made in a variety of colors. Willing to try the tulip stitch, I have modified the stitch and tried to get the look.
The mini crochet basket is started with a center and extends upwards, i.e. working in spirals. The level of skills required are intermediate.
