Crochet Easter Basket Patterns

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to starting thinking about Easter. I’ve rounded up some of the cutest crochet Easter basket patterns around. There are so many fun baskets here for you to choose from, and the best part – every pattern listed here is free!

Most of these crochet baskets have the same basic structure – a round base with sides that curve upward, plus a carrying handle. Aside from that, each basket’s details are a bit different. The colors, yarns, and varied designs make them all unique.

Take a look at all of the crochet Easter basket patterns below and pick out a pattern to make for your little egg-hunters. It may be hard to choose but I’m sure you’ll find a favorite!

1. Bunny Easter Basket by Crochet to Play

First up, it’s my newest design – this Bunny Easter Basket! I absolutely loved making this basket and writing up the pattern for you to follow. The stitches used are fairly simple (it’s worked with mostly single crochets), but the ears and face make it anything but plain.

The pattern uses two strands of yarn held at the same time, which gives the stitches added thickness and increases the basket’s sturdiness. The handle is made by crocheting over pipe cleaners.

These two techniques give this basket just enough structure to keep it from getting too floppy. There are more detailed instructions on both methods in the pattern.

You can find this Bunny Easter Basket pattern right here on the blog. I know you’ll love it!

2. Crochet Easter Egg Basket by Whistle & Ivy

The egg design stitched into the sides of this Crochet Easter Egg Basket is fantastic, isn’t it? The pattern, by Whistle and Ivy, uses single crochet stitches in two colors to achieve this colorwork effect (and the blog post includes helpful charts to walk you through it).

Many of the stitches are worked in the back loop only, which gives the cool textured look you see pictured. I also love the way this basket has two handles instead of one! It reminds me more of a bag than a basket and would be perfect for little hands this Easter.

3. Classic Easter Basket by Yarn + Chai

The beautiful pastel colors of this Classic Easter Basket by Yarn + Chai caught my eye right away. These colors combined with the pop of white in the stripes and handle really do make it a perfect, classic Easter basket!

This pattern uses double-stranded yarn balls as well as plastic canvas (like this) to give it structure. It’s made with crossed single crochets and has some rounds worked into the 3rd loop, so if either of these are new to you, video tutorials may help.

I imagine this basket would look amazing in a variety of color combinations and would get lots of smiles on Easter morning!

4. Velvet Easter Bunny Basket by Craftsy Amore

This Velvet Easter Bunny Basket is a little smaller than the others so far, but extra adorable. It’s made with bulky velvet yarn, but I imagine it could be made with any plush or chenille yarn for a similar result.

I can just picture a row of these little bunny baskets made in a bunch of spring colors, all lined up with goodies on Easter. The little ears and tail (not pictured here but very cute, trust me) make this basket a great choice!

5. Mini Easter Basket by Hello Yellow Yarn

I don’t know why, but the quickest way to make something even cuter is to make a mini version of it. Hello Yellow Yarn has done just that with her adorable Mini Easter Basket pattern. Isn’t it perfect for holding a few little chocolate eggs?

The best part – these mini baskets work up super quickly so you can easily make as many as you’d like before Easter. I think this would be a great pattern for using up scrap yarn as well!

6. Basic Easter Basket by Delia Creates

Delia from Delia Creates has designed the ideal basket shape with her Basic Easter Basket pattern (which I think is anything but basic). Sure to be an instant favorite, this one even uses beginner-friendly stitches.

The Basic Easter Basket pattern is worked up with four strands of worsted weight yarn at once, so it uses a fairly large crochet hook. It’s also worked in the round, so make sure and use a stitch marker to keep track of your place.

This seems like a basket you could take out year after year and it would still look perfect. It could blend in with a variety of Easter décor styles as well.

7. Bunny Baskets by Curious Papaya

Aren’t these bunny baskets adorable? The Curious Papaya designed them with super bulky yarn called “tube yarn”, which reminds me a bit of t-shirt yarn. In the cream and pink colors, they look perfect for spring.

The vertical-looking rows are created using the knit stitch, a crochet stitch that ends up looking like something knit. Add the facial features and ears and you’ve got a darling bunny basket for Easter morning.

8. Flower Easter Basket by Nana’s Crafty Home

I love the clever way spring flowers are incorporated into this basket. Did you notice right away that the flowers are buttons? What a fun idea!

This Flower Easter Basket uses bulky yarn and is worked up with beginner friendly single crochet stitches (with many rounds worked into the back loop for texture).

The flower stems are added with surface crochet, with the cute floral buttons sewn on top. No experience with surface crochet? No problem! A video tutorial is available to help.

9. Crochet Bunny Basket by Yarn Th3ory

There’s so much to love about this Crochet Bunny Basket by Yarn Th3ory – the long handle, adorable brown and cream colorwork, and that fluffy tail! Oh, and the floppy ears too. I’m a sucker for floppy bunny ears.

The pattern uses the waistcoat stitch for another knit-look option and cotton cord yarn for thickness and sturdiness. You’ll also want a pom-pom maker or to learn how to make your own pom-poms for that cute tail.

Try this pattern and you’re sure to make someone’s day.

10. Crochet Easter Basket Pattern by Desert Blossom Crafts

The Crochet Easter Basket pattern by Dessert Blossom Crafts combines two colors – a main basket color and a complementary second color for a round of puff stitches (that almost looks like flowers).

It’s constructed with mostly half double crochet stitches, plus the puff stitches. And there’s a video if you need help.

The best part? This sweet pattern is available in a larger and a mini size so you can choose the size that best meets your needs!

11. Bunny Egg Basket Pattern by Yarnspirations

When it comes to crochet Easter basket patterns, Yarnspirations has it down. Their website has this lovely Bunny Egg Basket pattern available as complete crochet kit, but you can also download the pattern for free without a purchase.

I love the contrast between the brown base color and the blue and pink bunnies worked into the design through colorwork. That chocolate brown definitely reminds me of Easter candy!

With the addition of those little cotton tails, these baskets couldn’t be any cuter. Give the pattern a try!

12. Chickadee Easter Basket by The Lavender Chair

You can’t go wrong with a sweet little face on an Easter basket, right? The button eyes and little beak make The Chickadee Easter Basket by The Lavender Chair extra adorable.

This basket can be made with any yellow worsted weight yarn you have on hand. It’s worked up with mostly half double crochet stitches.

If you love little spring chicks, give this basket a try!

13. Easter Basket Pattern by Fosbas Designs

Isn’t this a pretty little basket? This Easter Basket pattern by Fosbas designs looks darling in a pastel color with the flower on the side.

This pattern uses the 3rd loop to achieve the look you see. If you’ve never crocheted in the 3rd loop, there are many video tutorials on YouTube that can help.

Other than that, if you can half double crochet, you can make this beautiful basket!

14. Spiked Stitch Crochet Basket by Jen Hayes Designs

Last but not least, don’t you just love the look of the Spiked Stitch Crochet Basket? Jen Hayes Creations designed this basket with single crochets, plus the spike stitch which gives it its cool texture.

I love the combination of dark and pastel yarn used here, but you could use absolutely any spring color combination to make this design your own.

If you have some worsted weight yarn and can single crochet, you can definitely make this cute basket!

Well, what did you think of these crochet Easter basket patterns? Did you find a pattern for making your own Easter basket this year? I’m sure it will be hard to choose just one!
