Good afternoon, dear needlewomen!
I present to your attention another craft for Easter - this is a crochet Easter basket, bright, with knitted bows. Although it can accommodate other things.

You know, I used to knit a lot of large things, mostly clothes - pullovers, sweaters, suits, knitting things for the home was somehow not very popular. At least, in the magazines from which I took models, such ideas were rarely found, and there was no Internet then.

Now it’s the other way around, I prefer to buy clothes, there’s little time for knitting, but it’s very interesting to make various small things that create comfort in the house, and it takes very little time to make.

Description of knitting an Easter basket

It was very nice to make a crochet Easter basket with your own hands. I tied it up pretty quickly.

For such a bright cheerful basket, you will need some acrylic yarn or other mixed yarn of 6-7 colors, I can’t specify the exact amount, I used the leftovers I have. The yarn should not be too soft, otherwise the basket will not hold its shape.

Knitting in two strands, hook number 5.

Crochet baskets for Easter eggs

For knitting baskets for Easter eggs diagram is not needed. Everything is very simple here: at the base there is an ordinary circle, we knit the entire basket with single crochets and draw it up with a step.

First, we knit a round base with yarn of the main color (blue).

We collect 6 VP, close in a ring.

1st row: 2ch, 11 single crochet.

2nd row: we increase (two single crochet stitches in the previous row stitch) through one stitch (we get a total of 18 loops on the hook)

3rd row: increase through two columns (24 loops).

4th row: increase through three columns (30 loops).

5th row: increase through 4 columns (36 loops).

6th row: increase through 5 loops (42 loops on the hook).

7th row: we make increases through 6 loops (48 loops in total).

The diameter of my circle is 12 centimeters.

Each new row is knitted with a thread different color. In total, I got 6 colored stripes.

Four more rows (or more) I knitted with yarn of the main (blue) color.

In the last row - finishing the Easter basket with a fast step. I really like to use this pattern for finishing, it turns out a beautiful thickened edge with a clove.

For a step step, the columns are knitted in the opposite direction - not from right to left, but from left to right.

The height of my basket is 8 centimeters.

Carefully hide the ends of the threads with a hook, stretching them from the inside out between the posts.

In a similar way, I knitted more, it also turned out interesting.

Easter basket handle

For the handle, we collect a chain of yarn of the main color 40 cm long, we tie it on both sides with single crochets, while at the ends we knit 5 columns from one loop to get a rounded edge.

In the second row we tie the handle with a step.

We sew the handle to the basket, starting from the base of the basket on one side, to the base on the other.

Easter basket decor

To decorate the basket, I knitted two single crochets with yarn of three colors in one addition. Tied around with blue yarn with single crochets.

We sew bows on both sides of the basket in its upper part on the handle.

Here is such a bright basket I got.

Crocheted Easter baskets will be a great addition to the holiday, you can put not only Easter eggs in them, but also different crafts for Easter, for example, or chickens.

Soon a big Christian holiday - Easter and it's time for us to prepare holiday attributes. A crocheted Easter basket will decorate the table, and even a novice craftswoman can create such beauty. These baskets are perfect both as an Easter gift and as a portable container for Easter souvenirs.

There are a lot of options for Easter baskets. On the Internet, you can find a wide variety of models. From simple

and to complex ones, in which real stories are knitted, with animal figures. Here are these easter bunnies very often found in the decoration of holiday baskets. Remember, we also made a similar one, only not knitted, but sewn from fabric?

Original crochet Easter basket

To facilitate knitting and make the basket more stable, we will take a plastic container as a basis. And here is what we get from it.

Easter basket crochet

The list of materials needed to create an Easter basket is not so great:

• plastic bowl round shape(we often buy these in supermarkets);
• scissors;
• crochet hook (3-3.5 mm);
• dense yarn of beige and brown(you can take a thin one and fold it 5-6 times);
• scissors;
• universal polymer glue "Dragon" or similar;
• a sheet of white paper plus a pencil;
• artificial flowers for temporary filling.

All we need

The upper rim (we do not touch the lower one) of the plastic jar is carefully cut off with scissors (at the junction with the hollow fields), we will not need it.

cut off upper part headband

Then we insert the ends of this strip into the cavities of the protruding rim, placing them diagonally (against each other) - we get a functional handle.

"Mount" the handle

After we have determined the place of attachment of the handle, we take out the plastic blank and proceed to its finishing. To do this, we connect two types of yarn, pick up 1 air loop and wrap the handle with a working thread. After each circle passed, the thread should be fixed (always knit a new loop, that is, gradually create a chain and thus move to the very end).

We collect loops We tie the handle

Now you can safely create "clothes" for the vessel. From a lighter thread, tie a chain, the length of which is adjusted according to the length of the round bottom. Then connect the ends of this pigtail together to get a ring-shaped figure.

The walls of this ring need to be expanded with circular rows crocheted with single crochets. First we knit 2 rows with a beige thread, then 1 row with brown. We repeat this alternation until the sides of the knitted rim reach the side of the future Easter basket.

We knit a "side" We control the height

Attention! Do not decrease or increase the number of loops, otherwise the knitted attribute will not fit on the sudok, or vice versa, it will sag. Knit evenly, without increments!

Now let's proceed to the interior decoration and decor of the side. It is better to glue the bottom and walls with white paper to remove the transparency of the plastic. And you can pre-paint with paint.

Decorate the inside of the basket

Optionally, it can be brown, beige or other colored paper, the printed background “cell”, “stripes”, the theme “baskets” will also look good (such wallpapers are easy to download from the Internet).

Crocheting the basket inside is not worth it. Firstly, this will reduce its capacity, and secondly, no one sees the product inside, do not waste your time!

Mask the upper plane of the side with a beige chain folded in half, and the side with a single brown chain. You can also easily glue them with glue. This decoration of the Easter basket will increase the decorative effect of the product.

Double chain on top... ... and a single chain on the side

Also hide the internal joints of the container with knitted chains, gluing one from below and the other from above.

Decorate the inner joint

And now our masterpiece from improvised means is ready! It remains only to fill the Easter basket with painted eggs and present a souvenir to the delight of relatives and friends!

Crocheted Easter basket

So we looked at how to make an Easter basket with your own hands and now you can come up with your own decor for this product. Such a crochet Easter basket knits quickly enough, so you can easily create an original holiday souvenir. As ideas for decoration, I can suggest the use of or artificial flowers. That's all for today, good luck with your work!

Needlework before Easter!

In the Christian tradition, Easter occupies a special place as the “Feast of Holidays”. It is in it that the main meaning of the Orthodox faith lies - the deliverance of people from the power of death and sin. The Orthodox Church has been celebrating Easter for over two thousand years. Its meaning was taught by the apostles, who passed on the tradition of celebrating to their disciples. So, from generation to generation, the tradition of celebrating Easter has come down to us and spread throughout the world.
Easter is a transitional holiday, that is, its date is every specific year calculated according to the lunisolar calendar. Easter is preceded by Great Lent, the time of abstinence, when all holidays, including family ones, are transferred to the celebration of Easter, and the scope of Easter festivities is associated with breaking the fast after Great Lent. The symbols of Easter are everything that expresses Renewal (Easter streams), Light (Easter fire), Life ( Easter cakes, eggs and hares)

The celebration of Easter is, of course, not only attendance at Divine services. This holiday has always been loved by the people and many customs are associated with it: decorate the table in a special way, prepare special treats, give each other special gifts!
