Today’s pattern is perfect for filling with Valentine’s candy or Easter treats. Get a jump start on your Easter crafts by crocheting several of these sweet little baskets to fill with small toys and candy.

For example, use a deep red color for Valentine’s Day and fill them with candy hearts.

Also you could use pretty pastel threads then fill them with colorful jelly beans for Easter.

Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Cotton Size 3 has some pretty colors. Such as Maize, Warm Rose and Warm Blue.
