Thank you very much! This basket is very lovely and special. The steps and your explanations are very clear to follow. I am also happy to learn the last step of crocheting to the right side. :)

I see that it has been several years since you have posted. I hope you are still receiving comments and revenue. I LOVE this basket. I am working on a full Easter tableau with a basket, grass, eggs, bunny, and carrot. Your pattern absolutely made a beautiful addition. I was thrilled to find you. Thank you!

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you so much!! It’s been a bit of bumpy few years….Watch this space…. I’m coming back!

[@samanthaknudson3084]

@@Girlybunches I was just telling my daughter last night how I loved your pattern - SOOOO like a real basket. Neat story about stiffening...I wanted to stiffen it really heavy to keep its upright shape. I was concerned about the handle. I thought to put a basket ball in the basket to keep the handle round, but it would be hard on the handle getting the ball out after drying. My husband suggested a balloon. It worked great! The sides were really heavy with the stiffener (cornstarch), so we used thread to capture a bit of the sides, pull the thread around the top of the balloon down to the other side to connect to it. We probably had a dozen threads. After a few days drying with a fan on it, the balloon came out perfectly without affecting the curve of the handle, and the sides were perfectly upright. I get lots of good comments, I wish I knew how to send you a pic. Your pattern really worked up beautifully! Thank you! Sorry to hear about the bumpy years, but I hope your youtube return indicates the return of good things.

My goodness this is just the cutest lilttle basket ever.. great job! It's so easy and fun to make! I am in the process of making my 3rd basket.. only 19 more to go and all my kids and grandkids will have one for Easter! Thank you so very much! I can't wait to try another one of your video tutorials or written crochet patterns!

[@carenwilson4902]

Love this. Made a set of 4 nesting Easter baskets using a super bulky yarn and a smaller 6.5 mm hook to give it more stiffness. I also wired the edges of the handle and basket by crab stitching around the wire. The biggest bask I made had 11 rounds for the base, then a 10 round base, a 9 round base , and an 8 round for the base of the smallest basket. They are beautiful and perfect for my 4 children for Easter, and Spring decor in general. Thank you for sharing this beautiful quintessential Easter basket pattern. It's the nicest and easiest I have ever seen!

[@teeniebo11]

I miss you! Keep making these baskets and every Easter I think of you. Hope you are well 🧶 ❤️ 🧶

[@dianejones8865]

Cheers Olivia, you have made my day once again. Can't wait to make these for my grandchildren one of whom is 4 today. Really appreciate all you do for us crafty folk xx

[@Girlybunches]

+DIANE JONES you're very welcome Diane, sorry for the late reply, been super busy! Hope you're well. xx :)

[@dianejones8865]

+Girlybunches I loved making this in pale lemon, it's so cute. It was a challenge and the pattern is fab x

[@moonwizz]

I'm pleased to have found a UK crochet. I. love the way you describe how to do magic circle far easier than others. love the baskets. :-)

[@carenwilson4902]

Beautiful! I followed this and made a bigger basket with extra bulky yarn, increasing the base up to 72 stitches. I had to crochet the crab stitch around wire in the basket and handle edges to keep it stiff, and the end result was a stunning quintessential Easter basket. Thank you! I wish KZbin let you post pictures in you responses so I could show it to you! BTW, I tried to printout the free pattern from your blog links below, but your web page is down, or atleast that's what it says when you click on the links...

It was quite difficult but I have my basket :) You are a good teacher Greetings from Poland

[@Girlybunches]

+daniela cz Greetings.. thanks for watching :)

[@LearnandPlayEveryday]

I watched again & found out how to make it bigger. Thanks for this absolutely adorable project. My son is going to love this cute little basket on Easter morn 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤗

[@Girlybunches]

Oh you beat me to it, sorry for late reply!! Pleased you were able to make it bigger! Bigger basket means more treats right lol! I'm on a dechox for charity (no chocolate for a month)... Can't wait for Easter lol!

[@cindyelrod6288]

I followed this pattern last year Easter season and everyone loved them. Your easy to follow instructions this project is beautiful🐰

[@carystone6141]

There needs to be a LOVE button on KZbin, because I LOVE this tutorial! I'm just beginning, relearning crochet, after not doing it since I was a teenager, decades ago! When I learned before, it was by doing, I never knew the terminology, so it took me a little bit to get to where I could actually crochet. Now having completed leaning all the stitches and completing my first pot holder, I'm moving on to more advanced projects. This tutorial is so well made, I do believe I'll be able to do this, with very little trouble! Thank you for such an easy to follow tutorial on such a cute little basket. After practicing with regular yarn for a while, I will be making little baskets like this out of fl'arn (fleece cut into 1-1.5" strips) so that I make these into cage pouches for my sugar gliders! Thank you once again!

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Cary! Thank you so much!!! I am so pleased you found it helpful, did you make any baskets? I love how crochet is so versatile. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a lovely comment. I love hearing how people get into crochet and making things they can treasure for ever. Thanks for watching :)

[@carystone6141]

Girlybunches I haven't gotten a chance to try this just yet, but I surely will. I'm still trying to perfect my technique and get better at making my stitches more uniform before I move onto making things for my sugar gliders because their lives depend on safety. I have made a few things with yarn but I'm mainly practicing making circles, squares, balls and trying out different stitches.

[@patriciaan82]

Girlybunches What a shame we can’t share photos!! I am doing six of this for my daughter birthday that is in easter weekend !! Have done one so far and is so cute

+Kristina Galinauskaite Thank you so much :)

[@sumerairfan3707]

Such an adorable basket! Do you think this pattern would be sturdy enough for a bigger basket? Say 10" in diameter? Im not too sure if it'l hold or just flop down!

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Sumera, I think that might be too big for the acrylic yarn. Maybe if you used a chunky yarn it would be ok? Thanks for watching :)

[@Falcon2Dragon]

Perfect size for my daughter to learn and make "Easter" baskets for her American Girl type doll.18 inches(45cm)

[@wisalali8309]

many many thanks

[@Girlybunches]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching! :)

[@LearnandPlayEveryday]

These are so adorable!!! Is there a way to make them bigger? Thanks always 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Girlybunches]

Thank you Sande, if you increase the base rounds it will work out bigger, and if you use thicker yarn and hook that helps too. Have fun and hope that helps.Thanks for watching :)

[@juliapennington2984]

Wonder if you could do a tutorial on a large dinosaur

[@nalarajn.g9307]

Thank u very much

[@Girlybunches]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)

[@cindywood8129]

Do you end with a single crochet row before you put the handles on?

[@carolpage1058]

When starting in the back stitch to form the wall is the chain three counted as one of the 42 stitches?

[@carolpage1058]

Or do you do the 42 + the chain 3

[@cindywood2089]

So after I did my first detail round I did a round of double crochet but then I forgot after the second row of detail stitches to do the round of all double crochets. It seemed to work out just doing a detailed round on top of another detailed round. Is there a specific reason for the round of just double crochets in between the detailed rounds? In other words, does it give it maybe more strength or something? I hate to tear this all out and start over.

[@Girlybunches]

Just keep going if it’s working for you. The dc row is to give you space for the detail stitches but like I say if it works for you without, keep going. There’s not really any hard rules in crochet. 🧶 🥰

[@adinafalangamuratti8744]

sono molto belli

[@colettegallagher8006]

Love your work. Just wish I could follow your terminology. Wish you well.

[@Girlybunches]

+Colette Gallagher Hi thank you, it's not my terminology it's just what I grew up learning from my Mum, Nan and Books. It's not very different. I have to translate when I read USA and Canadian terminology, it's actually very easy to do. In the the description box under all my videos I add a link to my video explaining the difference 😊 I wish you well also.

[@fawznfmb4847]

I love it and didi at the same time you did

[@Girlybunches]

Fantastic, thank you. Glad you liked it :)

[@bebeheatherb]

I love your tutorial but your link for the written pattern says error, doesn't exist when I click on it.

[@Girlybunches]

Thanks for letting me know.. a bit late now sorry for the late reply. I've updated the link. Sorry

[@crystalthow5533]

hey you said double crochet but you did single crochet? is there a difference between uk n us term maybe?

[@Girlybunches]

Sure is.. check out my video explaining the difference.. I also mention in the video at 2:55 that I use British terms.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYDYXoOEoLeXnbc

[@crystalthow5533]

i dont understand why i always have 26 instead of 24 ? what did i do wrong ? i got 20 instead of 18 ?

[@Girlybunches]

Sorry, with out seeing it.. I am not sure either.. sorry..

[@awindylake]

Crystal Wong When ypu start your second roll of increasing and each increasing roll after instead of crochet 2 in first do it in the 2,3,4,5 and so on. Then you end the row with crochet 2 in last one. I hope this helps with your issue. when are at the end of the row you should not crochet in very last area next to first crouchet.

[@iwillstom]

It’s a lovely pattern but the stitches are done too quickly for me to follow. I get most of it but I miss the placement of a couple stitches in every row starting with the weave.

[@colettegallagher8006]

Love your baskets but would really would like if stitches were universal.... SC /DC ..... I have to reverse my thinking to get stitches right. ????? Would love if I didn't have to re-think my stitches... Lovely project. Thanks.

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Colette, yes it would be handy. But that is life I guess.. keeps the old grey matter working I suppose lol. Thank you so much and thanks for watching :)

dont apoligise, it was my mistake and i have successfully produced a beautiful basket

[@mariacontreras7276]

That Is single crochet not double chocket .

[@Girlybunches]

Hi Maria, don't worry, you're not the first person to make that mistake, in fact we're both right.. how nice is that! :) at 2:55 I say I used British Terms.. both valid - here's a video I made a few years ago explaining the difference :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYDYXoOEoLeXnbc

[@angielivery2]

Google also has charts with both USA and U.K. Side by side so you can see the different terminology.

[@Rita-cd9bj]

Is there a written pattern .... I am VERY experienced. The amount of extra crochet instructions on how to make the stitches, just frustrates me... I wish someone would make a Pattern Video and leave out the Beginner "how to crochet" instructions.....
