Easter Basket

Hailey’s Easter basket is finished! I love the colors and how soft it is. It worked up really fast and was easy to do.

I used Lion Brand Baby First yarn in colors Pixie Dust and Fairy Tale. I also used a strand of Lion Brand Baby Wool in the color Coral. You hold all three strands of yarn together when you make the basket, which makes it nice and steardy. It’s all done with single crochets.

The Baby First yarn is one of my favorite yarns. It’s a little bulky and really soft. It’s 55% acrylic and 45% cotton. I also use it to make my Fat Birdies. I plan on using it to make a baby blanket for my friend’s baby girl due this August.

Right now it’s being used as a little bed for Hailey’s fat birdie. For Easter it will be filled with some goodies for Hailey to enjoy

  4. Hi Mary! This basket turned out great! I absolutely love it and am inspired to make one for my own daughter one day.

    I tried emailing you but my email was returned. You had written me before about possibly sponsoring a giveaway on my blog, and I am nearing another giveaway time! If you're still interested then I would love for you to contact me sometime so we can set something up. You can reach me through my blog or find my email on my profile. :)

    I look forward to hearing from you soon!
