Egg Basket, egg-shaped easter basket - Crochet Pattern

EGG BASKET

Colorful easter eggs or plain boiled eggs – in this basket they really stand out.
Thanks to the unconventional design it‘s a real eyecatcher on every breakfast table.
The egg-shaped basket has room for about 10 – 15 eggs (depending on their size).

Of course it looks great in different colors, too. Or with stripes, or gradient yarn...
There are many possibilities. :)
The decoration leaves room for lots of creativity, too: embroidery, sewn-on buttons, bows etc. You can also leave it completely plain.
