Wheat Stitch™ Easter Bunny Basket

Get ready to welcome spring with the **Wheat Stitch™ Easter Bunny Basket**! This charming new pattern features the beautifully textured [4-row repeat Wheat Stitch™][1], making it both simple and fun to create. We’ll start by crafting a sturdy basket bottom in the round. Then, we’ll make the basket body in rows with a fold-over edge for added stability. We’ll end by adding the cutest finishing touches—adorable bunny ears, a fluffy tail, and a sturdy handle. Whether you go for soft pastels, bold brights, or classic neutrals, this basket will look amazing in any color. Perfect for all ages, it’s a delightful way to add handmade charm to Easter celebrations! We'll begin this Easter basket by crocheting the bottom first and setting it aside. Next, we'll create the body piece, which folds over to form a double layer—perfect for added structure. After that, we'll crochet the ears, handle, and bunny tail. If you'd like to reinforce your basket, we'll do that just before adding the finishing touches during assembly.
