Pink Saturday: A Basket Full Of . . .

.
Flowers! .    .    . ok, ok, ok I mean flower hair clips 🙂
.

But see, these were my teeny weeny Easter baskets. I know, Easter celebration has already passed. Then again, every Sunday is called “little Easter”, right? And I think what Easter means for us should always be remembered anyway.
.

.

Now, back to these baskets. It’s all about egg hunting. To make a little twist in the hunt, I crocheted a few of these baskets and placed a special egg with the Easter message. Whoever gets to find them will receive something extra 🙂
.

I crocheted the night before the hunt and when Sunday came, I forgot to take pictures of them! Just imagine, instead of hair clips, an egg is placed inside :-). It was fun!
.

The kids kept the baskets but since I still have yarn left I thought maybe I can make one (or in this case, two) for me to keep.
.

.

How to make them: The basket is just a series of single crochet(SC). I started with 8 SC on the first round). And then you just increase the number for every round until you can fit the egg inside. This one has a series of: (yellow) 8 – 16 – 24 –  (pink) 24 – 24 – (yellow) 24. Lastly, do a series of chains for the handle. You can make it as big as you like to hold some stuff! 🙂
.

P.S. Challenge: I’m introducing you to Tricia of Altered Schoolmarm. I remember her and the “shoe tree” where members of their church donated shoes for children. Oh and there’s also the Pink Saturday Easter tradition which I thought was fun and a little funny 🙂
